Winter Coat


I've been searching for a great winter coat for the past few months, but I am getting tired of large buttons, bows, and Prada knockoffs. I do like tailored funnel collars, the wide collars, and the classic wool coats with fur (sorry, PETA), but I would like to find a more tailored, almost unisex style.

One of my favorite stores, All Saints, has two great coats: a funnel-neck double-breasted and a double-breasted with graduated hem. Their designs always have great draping and unique style lines, but I some of the designs are overly complicated. I also love Helmut Lang's winter collection, like this coat. I also love anything Jil Sander, but her Uniqlo collection is affordable, which I also love. Style + simplicity = bliss.

What I've been hoping to find is this, the design floating around in my head:





1. Hidden snaps
2. Wide shawl collar
3. Dolman sleeves
4. Bands to tighten sleeves
5. Set-in waistband
6. Three decorative toggles


Sadly, I am too busy. Any volunteers?
