Chicksdowntown.com is offering one lucky Fashiongrail reader a free BB Dakota Brown Tan Lammar Trench Coat. The classic trench gets an updated, urban attitude styled with a nod to the 1970’s.

The removeable shaggy faux fur collar adds the fittingly retro finish.
How to Play: Simply leave a comment on FashionGrail to the following question: Will you keep the faux fur on the trench or not? Why?
