What kind of coat/jacket was it?

Was it worth the money?

When you wore it, did it make you feel composed, grounded and secure that you could meet any social challenge?..lol

You know I want this Kenneth Cole jacket so much! It's like an aqua blue...and it's SOOOO eighties I love it! But it is 150. I really wanna buy it but I gotta pay some bills and really shouldn't right now..Ooooh but it's gonna be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine!

£60 I think...cant remember" I have a lot of jackets! I think a couple of them were that much but theyre not that special to me...

My favourite coat, a 3-quarter length brown suede, faux fur lined, double breasted, frock coat... cost £6 in a charity shop After 5 years, and £60 spent on drycleaning (suede ) I have more than gotten my moneys worht out of it! Its warm too!! Makes me feel all the things you listed!

I bougfht this jacket, it was £150.00 but that was umm... 13 years ago.. so ALOT more now..

I can remember I had my heart set on it, and when I went to the shop, it was closing and I rapped on the door..

They shook their heads and said they were closed.

I said I was paying cash, and they whipped those doors open, offered me so much assistance, bought the jacket and left swinging my shopping bag in pure joy

awesome!

I think the most I ever paid for a coat/jacket was $150 for a really nice grey suede one...but that was about 20 years ago..lol. I went shopping with my aunt who was maybe 15 years older than me (no idea why she and I decided to hang out together that night)...and when we went into this leathers store, I tried on the jacket, loved it...the sales lady pulled my aunt over and said "That jacket really looks good on your boyfriend"...lol

I got hit with a snowball while wearing it 6 months later, and it left a huge circle stain on it.

You "broke" it??...

And how much did you spend??..lol

mdiver said:

What do the controls do?

CarrieMpls said:

I think it opens the garage door...

I think the most I've ever spent is about $90, which isn't a lot, really. But I have many coats. I like having a nice selection, rather than spending a giant amount on 1 really nice coat.

175 $ for this new hooded full length cloak ... worth every cent

and i feel very composed when wearing it and yes it adds to my being grounded

WOuldn't do for me, then. I don't have a garage.

CarrieMpls said:

It has integrated controls for your ipod and it is bluetooth so it connects to your phone..that way when you are out boarding you don't need to take your ipod or phone out to use them....headphones in the hood and a mic too.

I think it was about £520.00 and i trashed it at the snow park.....oooppppssss

Very nice...

Isn't it wild how the right coat/jacket can effect your mindset? I'm guessing it's because it envelopes and encases you so much...

The most xpensive jacket I own was a gift. A crew tour jacket from Madonna's Blond Ambition Tour. I don't wear it.

mdiver said:

OK, I find that absolutely hiLARious!! Why, oh why would you want your phone out with you on a snowboard?? So much so that you need controls in your jacket for it?

Byron said:

the right anything affects our mindsets

for me, the cloak is a more natural covering

i dont do well with sleves and zippers/pockets or buttons

CarrieMpls said:

Because sometimes when you are off piste you can get yourself in trouble so its a good idea to carry your cell.

mdiver said:

I can see it as a safety thing, I suppose, but if you're that far out would you even get phone reception?

CarrieMpls said:

Actually in the mountains it is usually pretty good.

I have little use for a coat at all.... I have the one leather coat because of Amsterdam..... I where a coat in California about twice a year....



.what do you need one for?

Button it you!

I trust, after visiting my homeland, this question is not directed at me!

I think you know exactly why I need multiple wool, suede and leather coats!

susannah said:

Why yes....YES I DO !

I looked like a puff a lump with all the layers I had under the coat!

She's a wuss ain't she?

the most i've paid for a coat was $90 i think, black leather dress-type coat, got it on sale. regular price was around $175 i think. i've had it for 6 or 7 years. my other coat is brown corduroy, bought from goodwill for less than $10. i LOVE it and i've had that one about as long. i also have a full length leather/fur coat that was given to me by a friend. (she could no longer wear it b/c she was having back problems and the coat was actually too heavy for her!!)

i'd much rather live somewhere i don't even NEED a coat. like karen.







oh, and phil . . . . . . !!!!
