Ankle-length Puffy...

rachylou

Anybody seen any? With a slim fit and waist? I’ve been looking and no luck. It’s been a couple of winters now where I’ve seen one... not a $1000!!!

I've been eyeing the longer length down coats at Uniqlo this winter. No surprises there. You've probably seen them already. Ho hum.

This Lands End one is long on the model. It's rated "warmest", and since they're in Wisconsin, that probably means something.

That land's end coat is so warm. I am short, but I feel like I'm in a sleeping bag (in a good way).

I'm no help, but you need a long puffer that looks FAB and feels like a sleeping bag!

Uniqlo stretch puffies per @approprio. Just tried them on. I love them but I got a north face one early last year and I just can’t see buying another less warm puffer.

I would have gotten the jw x uniqlo puffer tho!

I should look at Uniqlo, LL Bean and Lands End more closely, altho in the past they have tended to be a bit shapeless on me.

You will all also think I’m crazy, but when I say ankle length, I mean ankle length. Way past the knees. I had a couple of coats like that, very very close fitting and they were the best ever. But that was awhile ago, and no longer a thing in stores here...

Maybe you need one of those puffy skirts Una used to mention...an ankle length one. I have thought of having one made from an old puffer coat.

Actually, I’ve thought that too, Joy! Making a puffy skirt from an old Puffy.

All the puffy skirts I have seen are short. I have never seen a long one. I would love a long one. What about puffy pants? I have seen little kids wear them. Do they have them for adults? I want some.

The best and warmest puffy’s are the long shapeless sleeping bag puffys from LLBean or Landsend. Eddie Bauer is another good source. I purchased one from Canada Goose last year but it was pricey! The three catalog companies carry them at great prices and quality. I have always lived in cold snowy states.

I wish you luck! After all in the USA there are so many different climates that surely there is a brand that produces ankle-length puffers.

I have been looking hi and lo for an ankle-lenght puffer for the past 6/7 years! No way. Finally last year, miraculously, I spotted one in a shop window. Max Mara. Very expensive. I bought it immediately, no matter what! I agree that ankle-length coats/puffers are the best in freezing temperatures.

Check out Calvin Klein. I got mine at Macys a couple of year ago and it was a decent price. It's not super puffy and does have waist definition. I have also seen them at various Marshalls and TJ Maxx stores but of that's pretty hit and miss.

A slim puffy sounds like an oxymoron. Not that there is anything wrong with that !

Style Fan there is a Swedish company that makes puffy skirts in a variety of lengths: https://skhoop.ca/collections/fall-2017 (posting the Canadian link for you, but they have a US website too). They're longest down one is 34" long. They offer versions with synthetic insulation too.

Rachy, Staysfit named the three companies I thought of first for maxi parkas: Eddie Bauer, LL Bean, and Lands End. You might also check North Face -- they tend to run a bit slimmer than the other three, and they usually have a down maxi coat.

Maybe I should start a fund for a Canada Goose or Max Mara! Haven’t checked out North Face yet... haven’t had a North Face in a long time; I think of them as camping gear...

Ok, I will have to try Eddie Bauer, since it’s gotten many mentions... and now from you, Angie! I confess to always taking a pass on Eddie Bauer for image reasons. Like, I don’t understand why there was an Eddie Bauer edition of truck... There used to be an Eddie Bauer store in town, but it’s gone now. I wonder where EB is sold now... ?
