Winnipeg is a city of 700,000 people so not exactly a small town - but man, there is nothing out there in that magic price point between $400 and $600. &nbsp;Lots at $1000, and lots at $200 - but nothing interesting in the middle. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-non-black-winter-coats#post-1390173 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 00:30:26 +0000 catgirl 1390173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, that's my idea too... Not sure the toggle coat will scratch the itch for something refined, nor is it UWP/RATE.&nbsp; Hmmm.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-non-black-winter-coats#post-1390171 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 00:30:17 +0000 Jjsloane 1390171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm digging on these because you are a statement type of woman<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://usa.tommy.com/shop/en/thb2cus/women/JACKETS-OUTERWEAR-WOMEN/7649664">http://usa.tommy.com/shop/en/t.....EN/7649664</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://usa.tommy.com/shop/en/thb2cus/women/JACKETS-OUTERWEAR-WOMEN/7647951">http://usa.tommy.com/shop/en/t.....EN/7647951</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://usa.tommy.com/shop/en/thb2cus/women/JACKETS-OUTERWEAR-WOMEN/7648074">http://usa.tommy.com/shop/en/t.....EN/7648074</a><br />Is there enough sun for this in AK?<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://usa.tommy.com/shop/en/thb2cus/women/JACKETS-OUTERWEAR-WOMEN/7655931">http://usa.tommy.com/shop/en/t.....EN/7655931</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-non-black-winter-coats#post-1390168 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 00:29:06 +0000 Diana 1390168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a forest green toggle coat, it's ck not bean but looks very similar and has the quilted lining, which is really nice for warmth. If I didn't already have that one I'd be really tempted by the teal bean toggle coat. Anyway I think the toggle coat would be a great bet. </p> <p>I'm currently looking for a replacement for my cobalt coat. I want a BRIGHT color and something more refined than the green toggle coat.

I am very smitten with it: it is wool (80%) and is plaid inside. I am very sensitive and haven't found it itchy at all.&nbsp;It has hundreds of&nbsp;excellent reviews. It looks great on.&nbsp;<br />I am sold on the toggle coat concept but haven't taken the tags off because it is unlined!? It seems crazy to have an unlined coat here. However it is thicker and higher wool content than many of the others I tried on.<br />I did not try an LL Bean since they are not avl here.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-non-black-winter-coats#post-1389890 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 19:03:41 +0000 Kristin SF 1389890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Considering your location, I think you can't go wrong with LL Bean. And I love their warmth rating of -25 degrees. That's a pretty warm coat! The plum color is rich and gorgeous.
