It's very sturdy but a bit stiff and old-school. But you can't beat the price! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer/page/2#post-643343 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:37:27 +0000 MNsara 643343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like trying another size is a smart idea, but when you reorder, you could also try this vest:</p> <p><a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/womens-diamond-quilted-down-vest~227377_59.html?bcc=y&#038;action=order_more&#038;sku_0=" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/wom.....038;sku_0=</a>::ZTU&amp;CM_MERCH=search-_-down+vest&amp;origin=search</p> <p>It's only 34.99, can come in Petite, comes in a dozen colors (mineral yellow?, velvet orange?) and should be sturdy Land's End quality. (See their comment about sizing it.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer/page/2#post-643303 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 14:54:51 +0000 rae 643303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw your post, Rita. Maybe I should try the size down, maybe in the correct team color, before I make the final decision? I had sized up from my normal size in coats and maybe that's what DH doesn't like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer/page/2#post-643241 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 14:05:32 +0000 rae 643241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Una and Jonesy! Unfortunately the colors I like are out in my size and, well, it's about triple the original puffer in price... I'll keep an eye out on the Ebay, though. </p> <p>I'm also wondering if a vest would be able to do double duty in an actual winter wetting (Missouri/Ohio)? It might be silly to get a piece that is *just* for games and nothing else. I wonder if there are puffers with zip off sleeves... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer/page/2#post-643238 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 14:02:35 +0000 modgrl 643238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe you're returning this coat. When you're wearing jeans, boots and 4 layers of sweaters, it is going to fit you just fine. I got this coat this winter and it is just great for really cold days. I wouldn't pass it up for this price. When you have to go to a cold climate, you will be searching for a coat and you won't find one this nice for 5x this price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer/page/2#post-643214 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 13:15:22 +0000 Jonesy 643214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the vest idea and that particular vest that Una linked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer/page/2#post-643075 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 05:16:21 +0000 catgirl 643075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love the cutaway front. But the cap sleeves are a little weird. Here's my choice for you, in platinum. It's not down, but that means it will insulate better in wet conditions.</p> <p><a href="http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/patagonia-womens-nano-puff-vest?p=84245-0-751" rel="nofollow">http://www.patagonia.com/us/pr.....4245-0-751</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer/page/2#post-643074 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 05:10:12 +0000 rae 643074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this puffy vest too silly looking?<br /> <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/RLX-Ralph-Lauren-AC-Down-Puffer-Vest-Contemporary/prod126370067/" rel="nofollow">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/.....126370067/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer/page/2#post-642996 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 03:25:14 +0000 MNsara 642996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, no need to worry, Rae! I didn't think that, I just figured you're not terribly familiar with down gear and wanted to be thorough. What about putting together a small tote with just your cold weather game items. They should all be small, fabric, could get jammed into any other bag, if needed. </p> <p>Sorry, but the mom in me always wants to solve someone's problems . . . . . . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer/page/2#post-642976 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 03:09:47 +0000 catgirl 642976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, you can wear the vest zipped open and it will not be too hot. Plus it's very skater-girl cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer/page/2#post-642975 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 03:09:09 +0000 rae 642975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Sara, sorry if it sounded like I didn't like that idea. I meant that the vest was the only thing that made sense... still a single piece like the full coat would be, and not the mess of scarves and gloves and hats that I usually try to layer in. I don't know if my arms would be warm enough, but maybe I can thrift a vest and try it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer/page/2#post-642970 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 03:06:28 +0000 MNsara 642970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But wouldn't you have lugged the coat? A true down vest should be able to stuff into a sack about the size of a sandwich bag. . . just sayin' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer/page/2#post-642960 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 02:57:34 +0000 rae 642960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah. I hear you on the vest, but it is a pain to lug around all kinds of stuff at this stadium. A good 20 minute walk uphill to the park, then up more stairs to the seats, so no scarves, gloves, legwarmers... Too much to carry and potentially drop when pulled out at security check points where they search your bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer/page/2#post-642956 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 02:53:56 +0000 catgirl 642956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And don't forget the uber-stylish down skirt, in mini, midi and maxi lengths! I love mine and it's perfect for when you have to stand around freezing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642953 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 02:49:43 +0000 MNsara 642953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>too late to this one, but I think you made the best decision! I second the idea of a down vest though. We northerners know that when you keep your torso warm, it's easier to keep your extremities warm. Add a pair of hand warmers inside your gloves, a cozy scarf, to your repetoire, and you should notice the warmth </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642946 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 02:45:28 +0000 rae 642946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess it's probably going back - thank you for the honest opinions. </p> <p>Although it's a killer deal, DH doesn't like it, and I'm feeling like people will be laughing at me at the baseball stadium when I pull this out of my bag to wear when the sun goes down (NOT offended at all with any of the comments here, BTW!). Probably better just to bring a blanket. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642935 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 02:34:36 +0000 catgirl 642935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's my thought. It's basically a down blanket. You are not going to be wearing it on a regular basis or to to work or anything like that, at least I don't think so? So do you really need to spend more $ on an expensive or ultra-fashionable puffer? I guess to me, it's gear and as long as it looks good enough and functions the way it should, it's a good place to save $. </p> <p>Another thought - what about a down vest? They are surprisingly warm since women mostly lose heat in the torso area. </p> <p>I'm just grinning at the whole idea of a puffer in CA in June. Sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642817 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 00:57:38 +0000 rae 642817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, switched out pics for styled ones. Hubs votes to return and says it doesn't fit perfectly enough to earn the space it would take up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642796 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 00:07:44 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 642796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, I thought about that, but to me, the "engulfing" is in the torso and arms. Just my impression, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642793 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 23:55:00 +0000 MsMary 642793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think part of the reason you look "engulfed" is that you are pretty bare under the coat. I think it will look a lot more proportional with jeans and boots instead of bare legs and bare feet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642760 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 22:13:55 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 642760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love puffers for cold winter days...but I still think you look a tad...engulfed...good color for you, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642722 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:33:50 +0000 jayne 642722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love the puffer and the color! </p> <p>and I want to know what AG is refraining from...now he, what COULD it be? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642721 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:25:02 +0000 CocoLion 642721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is something you need for night games! (Go Giants BTW) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642682 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 18:50:33 +0000 catgirl 642682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't stop giggling at this thread. All weather-related snickering aside, this is a lovely puffer on you, Rae. Keep!</p> <p>I will refrain from... well, I'm refraining. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642301 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 00:10:30 +0000 rae 642301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon and MPJ... I know, I'm a wuss. I was at an outdoor concert last night, in two thermals, a tank, a jacket, jeans, boots, and snuggly hat, and I still shivered. </p> <p>Ballgames are the secondary purpose, though. Primary is for visiting family who actually have frozen winters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642295 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 00:07:42 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 642295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, you can get great deals now...it was more that you're planning on _wearing_ it now? (To ballgames?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642294 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 00:06:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 642294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks good Rae. It's crazy for me to think that someone in South California would even NEED a puffer coat (says the gal from the Canadian Prairie)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642289 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 00:00:30 +0000 rae 642289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MPJ, that was my worry. It doesn't seem to fit me exactly the same as it fits Mary, but at the same time, I know she wears a size smaller than me. And I've seen the size down on her, and the XS's waist hit to high. </p> <p>(As for seasonally inappropriate, that's when the deals happen, I guess). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642287 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 23:51:31 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 642287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, first, I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that you're buying a down puffer...in JUNE. Personally, I'd layer in a more seasonally conventional way. I do love the puffer on MaryK, but it seems to be swallowing you up a bit. Just my .02! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-lands-end-puffer#post-642262 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 23:05:12 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 642262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think puffers should look just a touch loose and this one looks just right to me. That color is great on you too. </p> <p>I bought a lands end puffer this winter and so did my mom and we were both quite happy with them. </p>
