I hope you post your final decision with a picture! I made the same decision last year...this will be the winter to buy a Canada Goose coat. But can't bear to think about winter yet! I was planning on getting navy too, but now the purple is very tempting! For me it will be an investment piece to wear for several years...will I always love purple?

@ K - I think I'm leaning that way right now; it's right in between red and purple and would look lovely in Quebec City *cough cough trip planning*

@ Jan - The navy is a beautiful colour, but I don't think it can get it for myself, unfortunately. I do love it - it looks lovely with brown, black and grey boots, as well as with my brown purse. Bah, stupid boys.

Purple is one of those colours I don't think I'd get sick of. I definitely am spending so much time thinking about colour (and your time) because I know I'll have to wear it for at least five years.

If we do Mo Math, though - Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, March, and potentially April = 6 months * 30 days = 180 days a year; $4 CPW a year ... which isn't too bad. If I wear it for four years, that's only $1 per day in the winter to stop my petunias from freezing off!

I see so many here wearing these coats and they're fantastic looking. Love the purple.
