green_dreamsOh god it comes in my size.
And I need a new winter coat.
That is *totally* not a suitable winter coat.
And I know it.
(Yes, I have been posting small rambles of late. It's been a high-stress kind of time; I think I'm just blowing off steam. Will doubtless taper off again in the next week.)

Date: 2007-12-05 01:19 pm (UTC)I'll be honest, I didn't notice the spelling, but it *was* about 2:00 a.m. OTOH, I confess the colour "mulberry" immediately brought to mind the movie Mulberry Street (http://www.mulberrystreetmovie.com/), which I really do want to catch...

Best wishes on making your own coat, by the way. I hope it turns out well.

Date: 2007-12-05 01:31 pm (UTC)...still, that's not a *bad* thing...
I must stop looking at the Newport News site. Right now.

Date: 2007-12-05 01:35 pm (UTC)...the pretty is scrambling my brain. Oh well. I will wait... perhaps there will be a sudden sale after Christmas, or something. Black versions are currently going on eBay for about $25-$20 plus variable amounts of shipping.
Damn, that's a gorgeous coat.
Date: 2007-12-05 02:26 pm (UTC)It IS gorgeous, though.

Date: 2007-12-05 09:18 pm (UTC)A few points to consider: I have, shall we say, a well-padded torso; windy and/or -20 happens (too) often in Ottawa; my winter jacket was my winter jacket in Vancouver, so is more of a glorified sweater.
A second vote for a gloriously long scarf to wrap and drape around the neck. What about some sort of winter-wear vest to wear underneath the coat to make up for the unbuttoned-ness?
