Which one of these duffle coats?

I like both of these Oxfam duffle coats, but I'm not sure whether to take the cheaper option of the Topshop one, or splash out on the vintage Burberry. Which one do you prefer?

Burberry: onlineshop.oxfam.org.uk/burberry-vintage-duffle-coat-beige-size-10/product/HD_300449587

Topshop: onlineshop.oxfam.org.uk/top-shop-duffle-coat-moss-green-size-10/product/HD_300389733

Disclaimer: I love a charity shop bargain, and yes, I know I could buy a new coat for the cost of the Burberry one, but it wouldn't be pure wool or terribly well made at that price.

Burberry all the way. The Topshop one is horrid, and I say that as someone who used to own that exact one. I doubt that’s mine though since I sent it packing to the charity shop some years back.

Definitely the Burberry one!! Looks much nicer and a decent price

I'm a bit concerned that a 1970s size 10 won't actually fit a 2021 size 8/10 though!

The Burberry one but ….the bottom two button edges look worn where the rope has rubbed.
I don’t know what the returns policy is or if it’s sold as seen. I t wouldn’t be a major problem to get that edge bound but I thought it worth a mention.
DD has just bought a vintage Burberry trench from a nearly new sale and the quality is astonishing.
Actually I see they offer a no quibble returns guarantee so I would go for it !
