Wool lined Coat
-
I own a great coat with a sheep wool lined collar (Pictures[^]). Sad thing is that this one is great for autumn (fall) (temparatures down to 6 C are no problem), but I think it will not be enough for the upcoming cold swiss winter. So, now here is the big question mark: Does anybody know where I can get a comfortable winter coat, preferably fully wool lined, for a reasonable price? - If the store isn't located in Switzerland, South Florida, Massachusetts shipping option to switzerland is a must. I also thought about buying a camel hair coat, but I think it will not be worth the expense. If you suggest a wool lined coat I prefer suppliers who can assure me that Griff never was near to the sheep nor the wool.

Yeah, I hear Miami is a real hotspot when it comes to buying sub-zero temperature coats. :cool:

That makes sense, but then you will always wonder who did the 'pre-treatment'. It's a slippery slope. :-\ Soren Madsen

You can have no fears on that score: all the sheep I know end up with a nice cremation. They go out surrounded by their friends and family. And roast potatoes and gravy.
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger. English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Marco, check out the wool coats at L L Bean[^]. They offer free shipping (within the US/Canada) and sell extremely good quality and long-lasting products at fair prices. I've been a regular customer of theirs for about 30 years. /ravi

LL Bean. That's a mighty fine shop. I went to their shop in Freeport, Maine in 1988 when it was just a small outlet. In 2007, we went there again and it's now the size of a street block or bigger. There is no better outdoors shop than Bean's though they do sell lots of other junk now.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Thanks Ravi, Exactly what I was looking for. Even though we experience a Lot of Snow and cold weather it is hard to find a decent Winter coat in a Swiss Store.

The Baxter State Parka[^] is very good value for money. It's a goose down coat, and is therefore very warm yet amazingly lightweight. L L Bean has a (rare) sale until the end of Mon 11/11. Cheers, /ravi

I figured it was something like that. There could be a store in South Florida with a coat that has been sitting in the back for a couple of years, but I doubt you will find a great selection to choose from. :) Soren Madsen

Actually, Florida is an amazing place to look for winter coats if you check out the second hand shops. A lot of people retire down their and get rid of their coats cause they don't need them any more. I had a friend that lived there and she would always send us winter clothes. It was awesome.

Ok, you got me. I did not consider that angle. When I moved to San Diego, I left all my warm winter clothes at my parents' house in Denmark. This is a great tip and I think you should post that as a reply to Marco's post so he get's the notification. Soren Madsen
