What Kind Of Winter Coat Do You Have?

[Placebo]

I really wanted a peacoat, but Banana Republic and Gap aren't making them this year and so I'm at a loss. I really only buy black coats. Need some ideas!

[CornField]

1. I was fortunate enough to score a peacoat

at a garage sale this summer. I'm lovin' it -- and it was only $5.

[medeak]

2. took my kids to thrift store

they loved the pea coats and trench coats. Also...try army surplus store

[Placebo]

4. Err, I don't want a REAL one...

I want a faux one. hehe :P

[Left Is Write]

3. This one.

I also have a black wool peacoat, but I don't wear it very often.

[gater]

12. I though a peacoat...

was a wool coat worn by sailors? At least that's what we had back in the 70's. The pictured coat looks like a hybrid flight jacket kinda coaty thingy...

[Left Is Write]

24. The pictured coat is not a peacoat.

I said that I ALSO have a peacoat. :)

5. Have you tried searching for army/navy surplus on-line?

I get some catalogs at times and they are in them.

[Scrooge]

6. brrrrr

I have this wool coat that I bought at a reuzit shop that I just love. I would never be able to afford BR or any of those retail prices. Even if I could afford them, I would prolly still buy used because it is more fun that way.

For winter, I usually just layer a tshirt, turtleneck and sweatshirt, and then I dont need a heavy winter coat.

7. Do you shop at Old Navy?

They have peacoats.

8. Knee-length goosedown.

I live on the frozen, windswept prairie, and it gets COLD here!

:)

9. I have two peacoats.

I have a blue one from Eddie Bauer that is really old (like mid to late 80's old, but was in storage for a long time). It's still barely hanging in there, but the lining is messed up a little. I bought a red one from JC Penney recently and I already have a loose button to sew. :(

Try Eddie Bauer or LL Bean. Their stuff lasts.

10. Try an Army/Navy surplus store...

or retro boutique. I think I know where there's one I had in 1977 or so in a box at my brothers house in Cortland, New York...or did I give that to my sister? Oh well, try the stores.

[RevolutionaryActs]

11. They have peacoats at Costco,

At least at the one here they do, so maybe if you try there? :D

13. What's this 'winter' thing?

Southern California, my 'winter' coat is a light jacket.

I do own a P-Coat or two, navy issue, one with the original steel buttons, the other with the plastic crap they changed it too.

[hahahey]

14. UGH

i really need a winter coat. I bought this adorable one from burlington coat factory, but when i got home w/ it..realized it doesn't really fit me quite right. I'm a tall skinny girl w/ broad shoulders, so it fits me everywhere BUT the shoulders.

now I don't know where to go shopping, I don't have much money.

19. Leather bomber

I got it last Christmas at the after-Christmas sales. Took all the gift certificates I was given, plus some of my own plastic! I love it!

20. Brand new--it is down filled with a hood.

It is dark blue and was on sale at K-mart last weekend for $25.99

I also have a black wool dress up coat that isn't worth a shit at keeping me warm in Jan here in Illinois.

21. You should see how many teddy bears they had to kill...

...to make my coat.



EDIT: too bad. Damn good image.

[Lautremont]

22. Get a Snow Goose.

That's the only way to really keep warm.

[lenidog]

23. Me I am a coat and jacket fiend

I have about 15 various coats and jackets. I actually do have a pea coat but mine West German Navy issue. I picked it up about 10 years ago just before I got trasferred back to the states for the princely sum of a carton of Camels from the PX. Try some surplus shops or even some flea markets they usually have one surplus dealer at them who has real surplus not the crap the Sunny's Surplus has.

[Her Blondness]

25. Don't have a coat, it never really gets cold....

which sucks.

[SmokingJacket]

26. Vintage thing from Ebay.

Used to have a peacoat, about ten years ago. It smelled like a drunk sheep.

[SmileyBoy]

27. Hardcore, Upper Midwest, Columbia hunting jacket.

Got it at Gander Mountain for a STEAL.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

28. I've got a Navy Peacoat I bought at Old Navy a few years back.

I REALLY want a new coat.

[democracy eh]

29. I used to wear a toasty snow mantra parka

though I will confess it is not getting much wear since I moves south. but a lovely coat none the less



"The ultimate in cold weather performance, the Snow MantraTM is the best parka we make. The array of technical features on this parka is unprecedented. A parka that is sure to keep you warm in the absolute coldest places on earth, this parka has become the mainstay on the North American continent and abroad."

30. Recently bought LandsEnd Pea Coat, added the thinsulate, and

love it. Warm, cozy, not tight, can wear a sweater under and still feel my arms.

I live in VT. Last year it was below zero for an entire month.
So, I needed something WARM.
I add scarves and hats and even "gators" if it's too cold.

31. Goose Down

Keeps ya toastie.

[Dorian Gray]

32. Fur...

Just kidding! I have a peacoat, actually, from last year. I also have a standard long white coat with a faux fur trim.

[pinniped]

33. Wool/cashmere from Macys.

Should be 40% off all wool coats right now. At least they were at downtown earlier today.

[Catshrink]

34. A nice cozy polar fleece Pooh sweater...

In Arizona it doesn't get too cold. In Chicagoland I had a fiberfill jacket, etc.

[yellowdogintexas]

35. Geez, I live in Texas, I don't OWN a winter coat

I have a lined jacket for when it is really chilly, and a pashmina shawl for all the other late fall and early spring days.

If it is cold enough down here to be true winter, we have either had snow or sleet and nobody goes out in that anyway because you would be taking your life in your hands to be on the highway with these idiots

[Guaranteed]

36. A flabby one. nt
