This winter: another doozy. And more snow en route this week. So we thought maybe you could take the holiday and reassess what you’ve got on over... everything else. Here, five coats to up your warmth for the rest of the season. Cotton, you’re not invited.
What you’re wearing: A three-quarter-length car coat with all the waterproofing and
windproofing that these guys put into their ski jackets.
Where you’re wearing it: On the way to work.
What you’re wearing: If there’s such a thing as a double-breasted puffy coat, this is
it. You’re looking at a diagonal zipper, an oversize inner storm flap and corduroy pockets.
Where you’re wearing it: Après-ski. Or, more likely,
après-sled.
What you’re wearing: A varsity jacket from the legendary San Francisco outfitter Golden
Bear. Only this one’s made from cowhide and virgin-wool tweed.
Where you’re wearing it: To the Caps game.
What you’re wearing: A waxed coat made on the North Sea, where they probably have it
worse than us right now. Probably why it’s lined with both wool and fleece.
Where you’re wearing it: To go out for Danish pastries.
What you’re wearing: Five pounds of wool, in the form of an overcoat worn by Belgian Air
Force officers in the ’70s and ’80s.
Where you’re wearing it: A meeting with the NATO ambassador would be a nice start.
