Hopeful Shopping: Medium Weight Coats for Warmer Times

BB Dakota Miner Jacket - $65

BB Dakota Riberton Jacket - $60

Rag & Bone Euston Coat - $735

Plastic Island Nomad Reversible Jacket - $99

Rag & Bone Northfield Poncho - $556.50

Evil Twin Military Parka - $144.20

All of these are sale prices, from my Shopbop wishlist.  I like them all, but each had something or another that prevents me from committing to the buy:

BB Dakota Miner

Pros: Color, toggles, leather piping, length, structure

Cons: Reminds me too much of my MissSixty navy jacket

BB Dakota Riberton

Pros: Color, buttons, perfect midweight look

Cons: Also reminds me too much of something else, my superold but eternallove BR trench

Rag & Bone Euston

Pros: Color, buttons, leather piping, contrast of the collar, length

Cons: Seriously?  $735, on sale?

Plastic Island Nomad

Pros: Color(s), reversible-ness for a 2-in-1 item where I actually like both sides

Cons: Price kinda high for something that I feel looks slightly cheap on both sides =(

Rag & Bone Northfield

Pros: Poncho/cape (!!), colors, the draping, the mild checkered pattern, the superheroish back

Cons: Again, $556.50?!

Evil Twin Military

Pros: Color, studding, lightweightness, casualchic feel, I've been looking for/wanting something like this for a while

Cons: Everyone else seems to hate this style (including you, T, I know), and this one seems a tad too long

T, 1/17/11:

BB Dakota Miner:  cute, looks like a&f, lurve toggles, can't really go wrong.   My concern with purchasing jackets online, though, is how thick they actually are in person.  Is this going to be warm enough?

BB Dakota Riberton:  don't really like this for some reason . . . maybe it's the weird way the double breastedness hangs when it's unbuttoned.

Rag & Bone Euston:  always a fan of R&B, but I never really liked green. Double breasted looks better here, kind of cute, but the green still bugs.

Plastic Island Nomad:  NO!!!  DO NOT GET THIS!!!  Why would you want to look like a skinned sheep, and then a grown sheep?!

Rag & Bone Northfield:  supra re: lurve for R&B, but this looks messy and disjointed . . . really now, green + plaid + weird different colored middle?  It reminds me of care bears, where their head/arms/legs are one color, and their bellies are white . . . cute on stuffed animals, not on people.

Evil Twin Military:  this is a green I can do, because of the military style.  Nothing special, I feel, but not bad.
