I've been wearing their down vest around the apartment while waiting for the heat to go on. One bonus of the Patagonia coats: Since they're filled with 600-fill or even 800-fill down and no feathers as far as I can tell from the descriptions, I think they'd be lighter and warmer for the weight than "fashion" coats from Bloomie's and Macy's and the like.</p> <p>And I just mentioned this in another post, but Bluefly is advertising 10% off its sale prices today, and it has a good selection of down coats, though not in your desired color... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hunting-the-ever-elusive-perfect-cream-puffer-coat#post-102290 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 22:26:06 +0000 Anonymous 102290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this last night on the TV....the models showed it much better than the picture but it has an adorable collar and is nice fitting around the waist.

Put American Eagle on your list. I normally don't shop there BUT I got my brown hooded parka there last year (<a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/iceland/?action=view&#038;current=icelanddec2008104.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....008104.jpg</a>), which is super warm and well made (though DH accidentally broke the zipper while we were in Iceland... and I still need to get that fixed). Because it's more of a junior cut, you get a waist and it's designed to be a lot more slimming than the usual parka. But if you want to wear a lot of layers, you'll probably want to size way up. Worth a look!</p> <p>Check this one out:<br /> <a href="http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat1410002&#038;productId=0386_1381" rel="nofollow">http://www.ae.com/web/browse/p.....=0386_1381</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hunting-the-ever-elusive-perfect-cream-puffer-coat#post-102188 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:15:44 +0000 Laura 102188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Rose &amp; Joan and Shiny, thank you for adding some options. I am a little hesitant ordering from the UK in case of return and the shipping costs. It cost me way too much $$ to order and return a pair of Topshop brogues that didn't fit But the coat is beautiful! Shiny, that first coat is exactly what I'm looking for, except that I don't do fur. The other two are too short, and the last has that fur problem again. Now you see my dilemma! But thanks for trying. </p> <p>KristenKP and I are hitting the mall on Friday eve in search of the perfect puffer. Based on Shiny's finds, I think we need to add Bloomie's to our list. Yes, temps have risen into the high 60s again, but we Chicagoans know what's coming our way, and it won't be long before we are reaching for our puffers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hunting-the-ever-elusive-perfect-cream-puffer-coat#post-102181 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:23:47 +0000 shiny 102181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about this one?</p> <p><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=437207&#038;CategoryID=5585&#038;PageID=5585*2*24*-1*-1*39" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....4*-1*-1*39</a></p> <p>Yes it has horizontal seaming but I have this suspicion it might work anyway, since the pattern accentuates the waist. </p> <p>I like this one too:<br /> <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=442650&#038;CategoryID=5585&#038;PageID=5585*2*24*-1*-1*43" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....4*-1*-1*43</a></p> <p>If it wasn't for the darn conspicuous logo, I would buy a North Face in a second - these coats are NOT bulky at all, and quite flattering.

It fits perfectly with a cropped jacket and a few other layers underneath. The sleeve length is long enough and the length is on the knee. The funnel neck is perfect for my giraffe neck so that’s the one I’m going to get very soon! It’s VERY warm.

Also, check Bloomies and Nordies. I've found their style selections to be the best so far. Puffer season is almost upon us and there are loads of fabulous options in black :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hunting-the-ever-elusive-perfect-cream-puffer-coat#post-101062 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:18:32 +0000 Sarah 101062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really wanted one last year too, and ended up with this one:<br /> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JA8_7TSUcfs/SVlAikxCJHI/AAAAAAAACVY/3CXnDtC0ay4/s1600-h/Christmas+066.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JA8_.....as+066.jpg</a><br /> There is actually faux fur trim on the hood. It's from Target so it's not a real fancy one, but it did the trick for under $30. If I lived in a colder (snowy) climate I'd probably want a better one, or an additional one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hunting-the-ever-elusive-perfect-cream-puffer-coat#post-101060 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:49:53 +0000 shana 101060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found one last year! It was towards the end of the season so I didn't get that much use from it but I got it at Kenneth Cole. It's cream, around knee length, and has vertical/diagonal seaming. The only downside is that the fur trim- it is unfortunately not fake, yuck, I know and is also dyed cream and not brown like I would have preferred. I have a black puffer than is mid-thigh length that is several years old from J Crew as well but it's not as flattering (in terms of seaming) and getting kind of old - it's probably time to retire that one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hunting-the-ever-elusive-perfect-cream-puffer-coat#post-101055 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:51:14 +0000 Laura 101055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, if Tanya and Angie have given up, then this really might be a quixotic quest ... </p> <p>Anna, thank you so much for the suggestion - I really need it to be longer, though, given our cold winters and the fact that I like to wear dresses.</p> <p>Would you ladies mind revealing where you found your perfect black puffer coats? I might also be waving the white (or cream) flag on this one and going for black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hunting-the-ever-elusive-perfect-cream-puffer-coat#post-100994 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 02:26:54 +0000 Tanya 100994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Laura, I have hunted for over a year for a very similar one, the only difference was that I wanted a knee-length one, and found nothing :(</p> <p>So I also gave up, and decided to get a black one later in the season. If the perfect cream one miraculously shows up at some point, I will certainly get it, but in the meantime I am done looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hunting-the-ever-elusive-perfect-cream-puffer-coat#post-100986 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:44:12 +0000 Angie 100986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sooooooooo elusive!
