Lands' End had some nice ones too, and I think they're on sale now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canada-goose-vs-burberry-forsake-fashion-for-warmth#post-494928 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 21:11:16 +0000 MNsara 494928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live where it's plenty cold (in MN) and really disliked puffers for the longest time. Because of what I was seeing others post on YLF, I finally spent some energy trying on various puffers, and not just the practical black and brown ones ;-)</p> <p>I found one (in cobalt blue!) that worked for me at a Land's End Inlet. It is SO warm and some days ARE puffer-worthy.</p> <p>So, if you need a warm coat, start looking around while there is still selection. Post pics of the contenders and get help finding one that is functional AND flattering.</p> <p>P.S. You live where you deserve more than one winter coat. So, after you have winter survival in order, you have my permission to start stalking the perfect Burberry winter coat too. . . !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canada-goose-vs-burberry-forsake-fashion-for-warmth#post-494821 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 12:19:04 +0000 Vildy 494821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the thing about bulky layers under a fitted wool coat: it looks like *you* are<br /> bulky. Plus it feels very restricting. I think that when the coat itself - the puffer - is<br /> known to be bulky, it just looks like a person wearing a bulky coat. Plus to me they<br /> feel very non-restricting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canada-goose-vs-burberry-forsake-fashion-for-warmth#post-494773 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 04:16:17 +0000 lyn* 494773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the wool trench will not help you if you have wet-cold (i.e.: coming off a lake); I'd vote for the Puffer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canada-goose-vs-burberry-forsake-fashion-for-warmth#post-494766 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 03:35:35 +0000 Suz 494766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of our members, Krishnidoux, has a Canada Goose puffer. They are extremely well made and warm. </p> <p>But any good quality puffer should keep you warmer than a Burberry trench. In more weather conditions. </p> <p> Soia and Kyo make nice looking puffers. Angie has one, and you can see Greenglove's prospective one here: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soia-and-kyo-ellen-tracy-coat-decisions" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-decisions</a> </p> <p>I don't know the fill they use or the quality of the outer shell, but the company is based in Montreal so you would think they would know cold conditions. </p> <p>I bought a Lole puffer coat (also a Montreal based firem) and I really like it so far: <a href="http://www.lolewomen.com/ca/en/luw0067.html#images" rel="nofollow">http://www.lolewomen.com/ca/en/luw0067.html#images</a></p> <p>It looks much better on than in the picture. </p> <p>A wool/cashmere coat will be warm, for sure, especially layered with a wool blazer. Or with additional layers, e.g. silk cami, merino sweater, wool blazer, then coat. But in Chicago I think you would really need a windproof layer as well, whatever else you were wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canada-goose-vs-burberry-forsake-fashion-for-warmth#post-494759 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 02:41:20 +0000 Anonymous 494759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you really *need* a puffer. You have to be able to keep warm! I doubt you could find any trench that could rival down for warmth, unless it's lined with faux fur....hmmm. That's a thought. How do you feel about a full-length faux fur coat? Too *evening* for work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canada-goose-vs-burberry-forsake-fashion-for-warmth#post-494752 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 01:24:25 +0000 gradfashionista 494752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ lyn: chicago, near the lake....so cold! sadly, i have no one to chauffeur me around, otherwise i might ditch the boots as well.</p> <p>@ vildy: so true. i was secretly hoping that an 80/20 wool/cashmere blend would rival a puffer/parker, but i guess this isn't the case...unless you layer with a woolen blazer underneath? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canada-goose-vs-burberry-forsake-fashion-for-warmth#post-494742 Sun, 25 Dec 2011 23:24:33 +0000 lyn* 494742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BTW; I also hated puffers for the longest time - but if you shop around, there are ones that are less "puff" than others :)</p> <p>Alternative - get someone to drop you off near the front doors I may be employing this strategy in the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canada-goose-vs-burberry-forsake-fashion-for-warmth#post-494741 Sun, 25 Dec 2011 23:18:08 +0000 Vildy 494741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yah, you can't be fashionable with a pinched look on your face because<br /> you're freezing and all your muscles are clenched. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canada-goose-vs-burberry-forsake-fashion-for-warmth#post-494737 Sun, 25 Dec 2011 23:10:41 +0000 lyn* 494737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How cold is a cold climate? </p> <p>I have a puffer - and it keeps me snuggly toasty warm at -53 windchill I doubt Burberry can do that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canada-goose-vs-burberry-forsake-fashion-for-warmth#post-494734 Sun, 25 Dec 2011 22:17:57 +0000 gradfashionista 494734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anybody here live in a cold climate AND have a strong aversion to puffers? For those who bought Canada Goose, is the warmth worth the sacrifice in looking fashionable in a winter Burberry Trench? The Canada Goose coat I have in mind is plain black, down-filled polyester with a trench belt vs a Burberry wool/cashmere trench. Happy holidays! </p>
