Hey everyone, here is the follow up on my puffer search. I found a puffer coat that ticks practically all my boxes! I snagged it during The Bay's one day sale on outerwear so the price is comfortable for me.

It's from Laundry by Shelli Segal, knee-length, belted, a very deep brown that looks black except for the sheen, double-zippered, down/feather filled, double zippered, machine washable and has a removable hood. I like the fur trim and I like the pockets.

But now I'm having doubts. My DH, who is usually very enabling, gently asked if I really needed another winter coat. Sure, we live in Eastern Canada where winter lasts six months or so. But 1) I'm a SAHM who doesn't go out all that often and 2) my current winter jacket keeps me warm enough so I don't really need the premium of a down coat and 3) if we move back to the West one day, I won't need anything so warm.

So I'm putting out for some opinions. Do you think the puffer looks good? Is it justifiable to have multiple winter coats if one doesn't go out that much anymore?

Pictures #1-3 are the of the Laundry coat. #4 is the parka it would replace which is 14 years old. #5 is my main winter jacket and #6 is a wool trench that doesn't fit my postpartum bust. I'm thinking of culling #4 & #6.

Opinions would be awesome in helping me make up my mind whether to keep or return!
