Well, for about 5 times what I paid for the Fog coat in my bottom photo,
it better have a couple more pockets and some leather trim!
Actually, the real problem with a coat like that here is summarized in
one of the admiring quotes "We had wind chills of 0 degrees F and I was
very comfortable wearing it with just a sweater." We have NO days that
cold, and very few cold enough to actually be comfortable in a coat
lined like that, even without the sweater. I like the Fog particularly
because it has all the qualities of microfiber and good pockets, but has
only a very light lining. A few years ago, I bought a georgeous Italian
suede car coat. Other than one trip to Chicago in early winter, I
haven't have a chance to wear it more than once or twice a year. A bit
too dressy for the Maine woods, too.
