Duffle Coats
I’m looking for a heavier coat for US Northeast winters. I was originally going to get an overcoat, but it seems like duffle coats are a better choice for the 20s-low 30s. I saw Gloverall is the go to, but definitely has an older boxier look. I’m torn between the original and the Drake collab. I saw Spier and Mackay also had a nice duffle coat, that looks like it has a bit more modern fit.
Do y’all have other recs (for any kinds of heavy wool coats) or info that can help break the tie?
Here are the two I like the best right now:

If you like gloverall they are plentiful for low cost on ebay i’d recommend checking there
Duffle coats and overcoats are both made of thick (usually lined) wool. Duffles tend to be shorter but they're not inherently less warm than an overcoat.
I.e. a thick duffle is warmer than a thin overcoat
isn't the distinction between a duffle and an overcoat just the closures and the hood?
Hm that’s good to know. I’m definitely not wedded to the hood look, and just thought it was thicker/warmer.
Do people have any recs for shops in NYC that have duffle and overcoats? J Press?
J Press is the only one that comes to mind for me, I also find duffle coats in random thrift stores here all the time
