winter is approaching, so what COAT are you going for this year?

[On the Left Wing]

a good top coat.... probably a white gloss, but may go for a satin finish

I bought myself a couple of winter coats last weekend, in Marks & Spencers . I felt decidedly middle-aged in doing so.

My Lacoste wool coat is still going strong after 9 years. Pretty good investment really, for 350 sheets.

the thing with coats is that they're exactly that- an INVESTMENT aren't they? yes they're expensive, but if you get several YEARS worth of wear out of them they're well worth it

i've almost definitely spent more on, say, jeans, than i have on coats in my lifetime

You can borrow the lightweight hoodie I used during winter here if you like and I will throw in the long trousers that are only worn from July to Sept.

I've treated myself to this baby from Billabong.
Actually my wife paid for it - result...

Wish i still had my late 60's early 70's greatcoats, were all the rage lol, had a grey ex-services one and an ex fire-brigade one (I think it was anyway). But the grey one was great. Seem to recall I got both from Brighton, one in Kensington Gardens, the other i believe was in a surplas store, maybe North road, ahh the retro memories

Accessorise with a scarf over you mouth and you could also go G8 rioting in this.

With winter approaching, would you be better with creosote?

 

[Danny-Boy]

I'm from far too far north to need a coat. Hoody does me in any conditions. Southern pansies...

Can you get a sheepskin hoody then? Maybe your ears need protecting, I can't imagine how far north all those pansies in Edinburgh and Manchester are.

Or should it be Man-Chester...

 

[Football_Friends]

You really can't beat North Face coats...had a McMurdo parka and Ama dablam (sp?) for about 4 years and they're beauties!

Might treat myself to a Barbour international next weekend....decisions decisions!!

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

Got myself a barbour and a trench coat.

 

[brightonian finest]

Wasn't wrong with my predictions about Barbours!

I hear c.p are changing designers so they might start making good stuff again, they stick goggles on every f***ing jacket these days
