I paid $350 for a leather jacket when I was in high school. It took me forever to save that much but I still felt it was worth it because at the time what else did I have to pay for. It was an awesome black leather coat.

A girlfriend also once spent over $300 to buy me the top of the line Columbia Titanium coat. I wore this sucker for about 7 years and it was insanly warm so it was also worth it.

I primarly only wore two coats this winter and they were both cheaper coats and I was very happy with them both but luckily we didn't have a "Titanium" winter because I didn't have a "Titanium" coat although Amy would have bought me one if I wanted it but I picked out somethign else (Apparantly girls like to buy me jackets as it has happened like 3 times). Although honestly the problem with the Titanium coat is that it is so warm you just about die everytime you have to run into a store or what not.

I have like 8 or 9 winter coats and they are all different which is one of the great things about living in a 4 seaason climate - new clothes for each season.

If I spent more than $150 for a jacket here in Tampa, I'd shoot myself.

I have about 11 coats for various temperatures, not to mention a number of hoodies and sweaters I use for 'outerwear'.

Bitch I am so gonna bury you alive somewhere in Thailand.... but I will put a map on the org and we shall see who can find you before your small food and water supply run out!

Exactly if you count all my coats (winter - fall - spring) and my dress coats I bet I have 20 coats and I just gave away like 15 to Goodwill. Amy also has an insane number of coats so when we move in together we are going to have closet issues. Not to mention the fact that we both are clothes whores as well

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

and the funny thing is, it wasnt that cold then!! Its been worse since then Getting warmer slowly now, if the wind would just let up!

I am so jealous, cant believe you hardly wear a coat!

lovemachine said:

Separate closets should do it. I think it's a must.

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

look out! shorty's angry! quick, get a step stool!


sorry karen, couldn't help myself.

You'll never be able to get me alone anywhere in that country. My people follow white girls around everywhere always touching your boobs and wanting to take pictures with you.

CarrieMpls said:

The problem is that in my apartment I use my bedroom closet, the bathroom hallcloset, and the hall closet for my clothes and coats and she does the same thing at her apartment. Not to mention our dressers and various storage bins.

So it might be doubtful that we find that many closets in a new place Luckily we will be getting a 2 bedroom so that should help somewhat. I've also been clearing out some old clothes to Goodwill and so has she.

I bought my first coat in 15 years while in New York...lol...you're right, you rarely need one here in southern California.




"coat", not "jacket" edit...

It is the wind factor that kills it... Dear God the wind is deadly.... This Scottish female is far to many generations removed... but I do think I did pretty good over there....minus my slip on the ice.

I have four fur coats

A black North Face bubble jacket.



Yes. It's well made and durable. It took me a while to buy it because I went to several stores to try on various sizes and models before I plopped down my money.



Yes. I felt really hip and it kept me snug in the snow. I can wear it with most outfits and look cozy and chic.

When my dad died in 1988, I was given some 8 thousand dollars. I don't know, I guess I was feeling a loss or something when I bought this 500 dollar "IOU" jacket. It was black swead with black leather arms. All the leather and what not was top notch. Very soft, I have never felt leather to feel as soft since. The quality was there too, but 500 dollars worth?

I kept it around, I sometimes wore it. I eventually ended up giving it to my father-in-law. He wore it to fix his car and what not. I'm sorry for that part now, but oh well.

About $200ish, I think. That would be between a buttery nubuck parka I got a couple years back and a knee-length, black cashmere Calvin Klein trench I got this past October. Got 'em both for a great price.

I'm not generally a fan of parkas, because I look like a bookworm posing as B-boy when I dress too "sporty." This one is considerably more refined, though, so I feel good in it. I was going for an altogether different effect with the trench, though -- sort of a sexy, mysterious priest thingy.

They both grant the intended effect, I'm told. So I guess I'm getting my money's worth.

I paid a thousand dollars for my yellow raincoat and it still make me look like an elephant!

The J. Peterman Co. offers a made-to-measure men's bison fur with a HUGE hood and bone toggles that's insanely hot! They're like $1600. I've wanted one for a couple years, but I'd feel guilty -- about spending that much money on pure vanity; about wearing fur; etc.

I've been thinking of looking around for a faux.

At least you didn't go for the cheaper $50 version of the raincoat...you would have ended up looking like Althom.
