Coat under consideration looks great in tan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-camel-hair#post-2210046 Fri, 16 Jul 2021 00:18:20 +0000 Anonymous 2210046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the tan coat!

I wore it more than my parka last year. My parka is waterproof but sweaty. This coat breathes and still keeps me warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-camel-hair#post-2210026 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 21:35:41 +0000 nemosmom 2210026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm… which dressy clothes do you think you’ll pair with it most?</p> <p>I like the tan for you (over the black, but mainly because you have a black pea coat already). I see tan being more welcome than black in spring, but that may be my own bias… i like how the tan ‘bookends’ your hair. Oh! And you could layer your tan Uniqlo under it (unnoticeably), if it were incredibly crazy-cold…</p> <p>I do like the black for how it pairs with lilac... and how it hides dirt or slush better than light colors… hmm ok I am no help LOL!</p> <p>Whatever color you choose, I can vouch for the coat! It’s a great coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-camel-hair#post-2210023 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 21:25:47 +0000 Carla 2210023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! ‘WAY! &nbsp;Okay - no more yelling. &nbsp;I’m torn between camel colour and tan. &nbsp;This would be my ‘good’ winter coat - for over dresses, and special occasions. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>Finds are my winter coats atm (Merlot puffer, and black pea coat)</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-camel-hair#post-2210020 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 21:12:18 +0000 nemosmom 2210020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG NO WAY!&nbsp; I love LOVE LOVE this coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-camel-hair#post-2210013 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 20:59:23 +0000 Carla 2210013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ nemosmom - THAT’S THE ONE I’M LOOKING AT! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-camel-hair#post-2209995 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 19:52:56 +0000 Style Fan 2209995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sometimes see camel hair coats in consignment stores.&nbsp; They look beautiful.&nbsp; Unfortunately, they are always the wrong size for me.&nbsp; I have heard that they are very warm and wear well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-camel-hair#post-2209991 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 19:07:49 +0000 JAileen 2209991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve had two 100 percent camel hair coats. &nbsp;They were very light, very soft and very warm. &nbsp;I wore them to work every day, and they were wonderful. &nbsp;I still have one, but it doesn’t fit. &nbsp;:( &nbsp; The color would be great for you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-camel-hair#post-2209987 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 18:37:40 +0000 rebekahphoto 2209987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love a camel hair coat, super soft and light!

It feels and looks more luxurious . It’s been years since I had one - I’ve only owned one Max Mara bathrobe style coat and it’s long gone , sadly . As to warmth - better at trapping and holding air than wool too . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-camel-hair#post-2209978 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 17:52:20 +0000 nemosmom 2209978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Ditto kkards!&nbsp; Camel hair is hollow like cashmere, so very insulating.
