Looking for two coats this year -
a short pea coat for casual days (it does not get that cold in SF Bay Area so length is not needed plus I have long wool coats already) and a grey trench (also shorter length - no longer than mid thigh).

Took hubby and did an inital mall hunt (Macy's, JCP, lots of smaller stores) but not sure who really has a good selection of coats this year. Old Navy has semi-ok pea coats but none of the colors thrilled me and quality was underwhelming.
My next stop is Nordstrom when I get a chance.

HAve you had any luck on a coat search?
