Northface Atlas Triclimate
You read my damn mind. I was asking friends at work about this.
I think I may go to the North Face store on 86st. Browse around.
And worse comes to worse, there's always Marshall's.
Prolly because we don't do that much standing outside like before.
Get the matching hat or the A7 Parka
Man I swear I hate niggas who rock them ugly ass shits man I swear I do.
, LL Bean is cool
Also Canada Goose, but damn the price tag--$640 or better
Key to a good winter coat that is top quality and doesn't cost much is to wait until after Xmas. I bought a Maine Warden Parka from them. Joint was like $300. I look up and a few days before New Years...same one was $189! I called customer service, bought the receipt in and they gave me in store credit. Used that to cop a Polartec 400 fleece and still have some left over.
My rules for winter gear is to have:
1. Goose down coat, preferably with some sort of goretex like material. Last winter it came in handy.
2. Leather jacket for cool windy days.
3. Peacoat or dressier wool coat for times where you're dressed up a bit.
(Optional) Cashmere wool dress coat.
4. Fleece for in between times and when you don't need a bulky coat.
Thanks for sharing but DAMN:

Carhartt is only asking $130 from the website, but I got mine for less at a surplus store.

Polo
Almost the polar opposite of the above. There's not a lot of extra room in this bitch, but it's warm.

Depends on your job.
Professional = peacoat or overcoat.
Blue Collar/Labor = North Face would be good.

What's killing me is that I seen dudes wearing goose down vests already at this club...I live in Fla....
Where can I buy? Link plz
I have a few different coats actually
A wool duffle coat w/ toggle buttons
A plaid Triple 5 Soul coat I caught on clearance awhile back
A North Face Snorkel
A J. Crew Down Coat w/ suede details (also on clearance)
It's cool to have one big coat, but North Faces on the train are uncomfortable when it's crowded.
I suggest layering shit...maybe a wool cardigan under another overcoat that is medium heft or something.

mothafuck fashion when it gets cold outside only thing that matters is does it keep you warm. If a (quilted) potato sack did the job, that's what the fuck I'm wearing!!
yeah time to put the schott in the cleaners

What was the final price tag?
I have a burberry duffle that I bring out every now and again. That shit is dope but you gotta layer it up real nice.
Snorkel's don't really work for me anymore; they look funny over my clothes IMO.
I have like 4 cashmere wool peacoats in different colors &/or length. Them shits will block the wind & keep you warm with minimal under it. I need to get a Northface or Columbia for the stormy weather though. Snow clings to cashmere too easily & I hate when they get wet.
Moncler
Get the matching hat or the A7 Parka
This is an ugly ass coat. Wow.
I saw a cat rocking a full length Louis Vuitton fur coat with a big ass LV on the sleeves, with a long ass Louis Vuitton fur scarf.
A middle aged man too.
I'd bet good money dude is a poster on here.
Looked like somebody killed a German Sheperd
Yeah man them shits ugly as hell man.
This shit is nice though. Nice.
Nice features, but according to the web site it's $758. I was sold on this until I saw that price!
anything northface..speaking of northface gotta hit there store soon to cop some gloves
Thanks for all the suggestions fellas. I ended up getting lucky and buying a Canada Goose for $265. Went on AMazon, saw the price, contacted the seller (she was not selling it on Amazon) and sent her a Postal MO.
The Canada Goose does NOT have the zipper under the arms--that's for the real bulky ones--but it has kept me warm here the past 2 days. And when I have the hood on it's extra warm, with just a t-shirt underneath.
Here, maybe this will be legit:

or just try Amazon b/c of the shiiping rates
And for boots, I bought these at Marshall's. Hey, they were $30.

Suckers are ugly, but I can't wait to try them on snow and ice.
