    Default Winter coat recommendation needed

    I need a recommendation for a new winter coat:

    • Parka length – that is, not waist length
    • Doesn’t need to be waterproof, but must be windproof
    • Casual, not dressy – to be worn with jean and khakis
    • Don’t want to look like I’m at Camp IV
    • Think insulated field jackets or pea coats
    • I live in Atlanta, not Juneau


    Thanks in advance.

    Second Uniqlo reference in a week. $199 down parkas, $5 undershorts.....where did this company come from?

    A shop just opened by me. It was packed with shoppers. Is the stuff any good?

    Is this your first winter jacket from them? If not, any comments on reliability or general quality?

    One of the lighter-weight offerings from Bemidji Woolen Mills should do the trick: https://www.bemidjiwoolenmills.com/d...geurs_jac_coat

    A lifetime garment, made in Minnesota, for <$200. Plus, they offer a Medium Tall.

    Just to blast the budget... I <3 this:


    It's got a windstopper liner, and it's harris tweed (which *might* make a it a bit toasty... but is probably ok). You could nearly buy the rest of the thread at this point or this however... But I think it's awesome.

    If one coat is your goal, then the recommendations above are great. I have a goose down lined parka that is the warmest coat I own. Then, the second choice is a wool car length coat that hits just above the knees.
