I just checked, and they are having a sale right now, and it includes down outerwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-time-to-look-for-downwarm-coats#post-1945852 Tue, 07 Aug 2018 14:36:23 +0000 Muffin 1945852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking for the Patagonia Tres to be re-released this year. It's a three in one (tres)- down liner and waterproof shell. No extra embellishments- utilitarian for certain but elegant in its simplicity and most importantly perfect for PNW winters! It should allow me to clean out a few extra coats. I called the local Patagonia and was told mid-August for coats to start coming in so you are right on your timing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-time-to-look-for-downwarm-coats#post-1945845 Tue, 07 Aug 2018 14:25:50 +0000 Janet 1945845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found good ones last year as late as December — I ended up buying my long black Michael Kors puffer shortly before we left for our European Christmas vacation last year, and I tried quite a few when shopping for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-time-to-look-for-downwarm-coats#post-1945835 Tue, 07 Aug 2018 14:04:06 +0000 gryffin 1945835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky - that's also a very good idea.&nbsp; I was looking for a left over from last year, I liked the soia &amp; kyo but I can't find a size or color that works.&nbsp; December may not be too cold, so the thanksgiving and preholiday sales would definitely be a thought if I can't find something earlier or what I want is too pricey!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-time-to-look-for-downwarm-coats#post-1945827 Tue, 07 Aug 2018 14:01:30 +0000 Becky 1945827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't give a definitive answer, but a few years back I snagged a nice puffer (which is still going strong) at 40% off during pre-Christmas sales in early December. At that time it seemed like there was a good selection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-time-to-look-for-downwarm-coats#post-1945798 Tue, 07 Aug 2018 13:14:04 +0000 gryffin 1945798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My wardrobe is in fantastic shape especially after NAS, I don't "need" much in the way of wardrobe refresh except a few more work dresses or tunics.&nbsp; I was able to snag the Pendleton Darby coat during the sale and I have a long maxi puffer for the worst of winter, but I think I would do well to look for a mid length (mid thigh to above knee) warm coat/puffer/faux fur lined something.... I always miss the best window of opportunity.&nbsp; There is nothing now available, in general, except Canada Goose/Montcler which is above my hoped price range and a bit too utilitarian in vibe plus most have real fur, and I prefer not to buy or wear real fur.&nbsp; Does anyone know exactly when coats will appear?&nbsp; Should I continue to scan through august, can I wait till September?&nbsp; I don't want to miss out.&nbsp; Also suggestions on brands for nice coats, super warm but more "elegant" (so appropriate in light of todays blog post!!) would be sincerely appreciated!! </p>
