I love coats. I keep wanting to buy more coats. Imelda Marcos had a million pairs of shoes, I want to have a million coats.

This is the thread where we talk about lovely coats.

I saw an amazing corduroy anorak today. And only fifty quid. I want it.

i used to have so many amazing coats: a red pleather double-breasted car coat with large gold buttons, a tan suede one with a huge cream fake fur collar, a harlequin rabbit fur jacket, a black rabbit fur, wool, and leather jacket, a weird patchwork fake fur thing with brown suede trim, a maroon leather 70s trenchcoat, a green velvet opera coat, a perfectly distressed zip up denim thing..

all so lovely, and all in ridiculously small sizes. goddamn mid-20s weight gain.

If only someone had taken a picture of Pete being swallowed up by the coat avalanche last night.

i got white fake fur mittens from h&m a few weeks ago. it's still not cold enough to wear them, unfortunately.

Mmmmm coats. My 3/4 cuddly chocolate-brown brushed-microfibre is on duty today.

The coat avalanche was quite spectacular, and seeing Pete fight his way out from under a pile of vintage Eastex tweed was special.

My lambretta make overcoat. Next week (it's not cold enough yet) it'll see daylight.

I used to have the most beautiful old army coat that I bought in an Oxfam shop in Manchester. It was one of those coats that weighed half a ton dry and twice that when soaked with rain, making it highly impractical in Dublin in the winter, but I still loved it.

I also still have a black leather biker jacket I was given for my 21st birthday. I will never wear it again, but maybe someday my children will.

I love this thread because when it's the top thread in the list of topics and you click on it, the first words of the thread are the same as the thread title - so that part stays as is and all of the rest of the words around it change.

Also, I have a lot of coats.

I've had a picture of a longish black moleskin coat in my head for years and have yet to find an exact match. It sometimes slips my mind for months then someone mentions coats and I get annoyed about my failed quest.

It probably wouldn't suit me anyway.

We have so many coats that there's no room in the coat closet for guests' coats!

Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 12 November 2004 14:48 (twenty years ago)

I love & need a duffel coat. And I am happy that Sarah has a coat closet. it's so 'The Nanny'

Nellie (nellskies), Friday, 12 November 2004 14:58 (twenty years ago)

I remind you of Fran D??

Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 12 November 2004 14:59 (twenty years ago)

no. but they had a coat closet and it was cool. There aren't many coat closets in Australia.

Nellie (nellskies), Friday, 12 November 2004 15:04 (twenty years ago)

I don't have a full body coat as such. I do have a dark blue parka, however, that I adore (and in California is pretty much all I need).

welcome to the o.c. bitch.

Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 12 November 2004 15:51 (twenty years ago)

Hey, you're the one surrounded by Seed of Chucky

Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 12 November 2004 15:52 (twenty years ago)

I need a new big winter coat. but I do have a nice light jacket, it's sort of a blazer but not in the awful "rock" way, it's double breasted and sort of light blue denim, and it has an Obituary patch on it which was there when I bought it. it's odd cos people go "wow Obituary" and I say "no I don't like them".

Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 12 November 2004 15:53 (twenty years ago)

ned wins. ;)

Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 12 November 2004 16:00 (twenty years ago)

ha! i thought "WTF!?" when i saw that patch, ronan.
