Before it gets cold...

I'm looking for suggestions on winter coats. It's been 6-7 years since I've gotten a new one, which leaves me with the high school Adidas brand coat for guys I've been using. Last winter I let my sisters boyfriend borrow it and I have no idea where it is or if I'd even want to use it since it has boy germs now. Also it left me with no coat and even ( Read more... )

Hi!

I just bought this one from Old Navy. I can't speak for the quality of this particular coat, but I bought a wool blend coat from them a few years ago for around the same price and it lasted 3 years before giving up (lining ripped, it got all pill-y).

I got an Old Navy duffel coat two years ago and it didn't hold up at all :( Pilling within weeks, and it lost its shape. Not to mention stains from everday wear that didn't come out - but that could easily be a dry cleaner issue and not a coat issue.

Oh well. Was cute while it lasted.

I was also going to suggest Old Navy, they have some cute coats this year.

I am personally lusting after this little number at alight.com right now.

I'm voting Old Navy as well. I tried this on in the store http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=50299&vid=1&pid=692516&scid=692516012 in XXL and it almost fit me at a 22/24 on top, so if you are any smaller than that I'd check out old navy straight sizes ( ... )

it'd help if you post your size :) i'm a 14-16 and have gotten great coats at target, victoria's secret and banana republic.

Your post inspired me to order a winter coat! I just ordered this coat from Catherine's, http://www.catherines.com/product/COLLECTIONS/Outerwear/Heavyweight-Coats/Faux-Fur-Trim-Puffer-Coat/25457/pc/4613/pslot/14/sc/4638/c/4636.uts. They're having a 40% off Columbus Day sale right now and it ends tomorrow. I used this coupon code, 777000324, which took $30 off of a $75 purchase and I also received a $13 perks card discount. Shipping is free for purchases over $50 so I only paid $54.94 total for this coat. Not sure if this is what you're looking for but I'd definitely take a look at their other coats.
