I'm such a Jacket Slut!

I didn’t go look at the cost but it would have to be free for me to wear that.

same!

to look that much like a bag lady I might need someone to pay me to put that on! I figure I will look like that eventually when I don’t pay attention at all anymore! Because I do recall some pretty awful things my mother wore because they were in expensive!

 

[newboots]

Actually “cost” was a typo; it was supposed to say “coat.” It reminded me of that other hideous one posted earlier. Is making a woman look like she is going out for Halloween dressed as a grapefruit the new fashion? Or tomato? Easter egg?

 

[KWlovessnow]

Apparently this cost is Oprah-endorsed and flying out of the Amazon warehouse. <shakes head>

This coat was all over Detroit about two years ago! Not on the outdoor scene, but I would see several women wearing it every time I went to the grocery store. Apparently it was the "it" coat that year.

I wonder if you might have been looking at this place in the thread, around page 69? It looks like some pictures @SnowHot posted may have been lost to the sands of time, but she posted a picture of a jacket she had that others described as a JCC "Grafitti". I think she's still intermittently around here.

Think I saw that vintage pattern at the Rossignol store in St Moritz a couple years ago.

Warmest jacket I think I have ever tried on and it has my required crazy long sleeves. Last year’s color (dark blue with pale aqua zipper) at nearly 60% off! Woot woot.

 

[ski diva]

That's really nice!

I’m looking forward to seeing this in person. When it ever gets cold. Haha

Jacket slut divas... i heard the BEST story this week. Friend of a friend is a jacket slut and has several daughters. So, she buys jackets and sticks them in the “jacket closet” ... girls just take the jackets from the closet, wear them as long as they want, and then they can go back in the closet when they’re ready for a change.

Brilliant. I’m a little jealous, tbh. I don’t think ONE girl child and living in a 90 year old bungalow is going to give me the right structure to effect jacket slutting at that epic level.

My grandma had closets like this for us. We were many grandchildren with all the cousins and there were coats and shoes and clothes we could trade out when visiting. It was really nice

I too am jealous.

FYI... saw that Eddie Bauer has a down mid layer type jacket for $33 on clearance. I’m having them hold one at my local store to try on, will report back, but if you want a down layer, their clearance colors (either limited sizes or pattern) are $66 with half off for clearance today. It packs into a little tube/ball so I figure I could throw it into an inner pocket unless i need it? I do hate that layering on requires removing that outer layer, but this way, the down won’t be cold.

I can’t believe it’s almost March! I’ve been eyeing the coats on noize.com. Non-technical, not ski-oriented but they’re a Montreal brand which means warmth AND fa-shun!

My friend owns this winter dominatrix looking coat:


I like the cut and style of this coat with the extra large collar/lapel combo and the black contrast piping:

I also really like the channels on this puffy:


Anyway, looks like their sizes are starting to sell out, so probably good for my wallet!

Oooh, I love that puffer! Do it!!

 

[Christy]

I love this. It's my 1970s kid idea of what a ski jacket should look like.

 

[MontanaMom]

I officially live you guys!! I have a strange addiction to gear and two little kids. I have 3-4 pairs of snow pants, multiple jackets but only one ski jacket. I keep looking at skis, costs, pants, bib, goggles, gloves. It's an addiction. I just rarely let myself pull the trigger. These end of season sales have me saying I NEED a new ski coat.

Look what I got at Patagonia outlet for spring skiing or a layer
