Yes, I like the blue one better, too! I am definitely a big fan of deep, strong colors so I figured that the dark blue would most likely work better for me.
MNsara, not sure if you meant the small size is better? The blue is size small, the yellow is size medium, I thought the medium/yellow was a bit baggy.
VC, I was trying to decide what would be the absolute best color for a trench in theory, and Sveta's fuchsia-colored trench came to mind - it actually looks very nice and somewhat neutral so I bet your fuchsia trench looks good, too. However, I have to say, this Gallery trench is really well made and feels more waterproof and more practical than other trenches I have tried.
Parsley, I think it is one of those wardrobe holes that I did not realize I had. I was fine with wearing the anorak for the short walk to work but I think the trench might be better for travel, conferences etc. I do not have any other trenches, only an unlined raincoat.
Angie, thank you so much for the advice on this trench and for talking about the Gallery brand on the forum. This trench is so much better than the others I have tried (Calvin Klein, DKNY etc.)!
