One quest ends...
Been trying to find a used wool pea coat for a while now. It's hard for me to find one online because of the fun combo of being super short, but having a slightly longer torso. Plus, not cheap. Also, I wanted a nice slightly fitted Women's one, not a generic boxy shaped men's style.
Today I scored!! Goodwill. Gap women's wool pea coat in black, size large. Perfect fit over a hoodie and also over a cardigan (tried it on over each one). Flaws were ripping in the lining in the pockets and the lining near the bottom in the back, both of which I can fix and some loose buttons, which again, easily fixed. Oh, and it needs a cleaning. Once I brushed off all the hair and various lint, it looks great, but there are a few small spots that are discolored and I hope they will come out with a cleaning. Otherwise it's in great shape. No real wear to the wool anywhere, no bare spots and it had very little pilling, which I took care of with my handy pill shaver.
Anyone have experience with those home dry cleaning kits? Or is it just better to take it in to a pro?
I think it was a good bargain at $19.99
I also scored a brand new dark, fitted, Calvin Klein denim jacket. Now I can sell my Levi's one that is too boxy and doesn't look/fit right on me.
Oh! And belts! I finally have more than one belt!
