So it's starting to get cold around here and I have yet to get a good coat for the winter. (Yes I have last year's, but I happen to be larger this year, plus it could use a replacement anyway.) Right now, I'm looking at
this parka by Lands' End, but before buying, I was wondering if any of you have used this coat and could comment on how warm it is

Hello! I would like to take a moment to direct you to the community profile, most specifically the following:
3a. Having said the above, it is also worth nothing that not everyone here is a lady, and thus saying "hey ladies!" or some variation thereof can make some members feel left out. We're a diverse community and not everyone here - even the people you personally might identify as a lady - identifies with that term, and it can be alienating for some people. "Hey y'all!" "Hey fatshionistas!" "Greetings!" and "Hi Everyone" are all great inclusive alternative greetings. A post won't be rejected from the queue for this, but a mod will comment to give a heads up to OPs who use ladycentric language, even when it's an honest oversight.
Although the above is in reference to greetings, your phrasing "What do you ladies like to do to keep your legs warm during the winter?" may also be alienatating for some people. Please consider changing it.
Just a gentle suggestion. Thanks for posting.

Actually, all of my coats (except for 1 or 2) are from Lands End.

Lands' End's coats are amazingly warm and comfy, in my experience. I have this coat, and while it's not the best for INSANELY cold days, it does the job most of the winter. :)

I live in new england, and oh my goodness, I cannot wear pants of any sort in the winter here without long underwear underneath them. I got a bunch of longjohns for cheap from the army/navy surplus outlet, but those are kind of bulky, so I can only wear them under pants that are fairly loose. I've also got a couple of pairs of pricier hi-tech fabric long johns from an outdoors store that are much thinner and can fit under tighter pants. In both cases I bought men's sizes because, like you, I carry most of my weight in my belly, and the women's stuff was just. . .not cut to accommodate a tummy.
