Coats, the hardest single item of clothing to buy? If your answer is anything other than 'Yes' then you are definitely wrong. Incidentally, if your answer is something wack like 'No' then take it to your own thread you scurrilous vagabond.

We are both literally and metaphorically in the bleak mid-winter at this point, so have you sourced a fine winter coat to shield your beautiful elfin features and delicate porcelain skin?

Now, I'm not talking about work coats...black, wool/cashmere blend, single/double breasted....that's easy. I'm not talking about jackets either so do not regale me with tales of Harringtons and zip-through anoraks....I am interested solely in sturdy winter coats that you can wear with your jeans and wear wherever you like. Warmth and durability are key.

Fire away.
