I got mine from my mom that she got in the 1970s and forgot was in her closet, the funny part is its a petite so its intended to go closer to my feet but instead stops a bit above my boots. She's my size just a petite so whenever she throws me her cool vintage clothes I have to account that it might have shorter sleeves or be really leggy, but for a trench coat it worked out well. I think I posted a pic of it in the women's fashion thread sometime.

I wandered into a store around Lakeview in Chicago several years ago, and stumbled on a kinda-trench coat that I've worn ever since. It's the best coat ever, plenty of room to layer a hoodie underneath, and I regularly get compliments on it which just mystifies me

but it pretty much is the best coat ever, the tag tells me it's by C Luce or something?

I mean I also had an Amaretto and Coke but I nearly passed out from the sugar.

And I drink cider, beers are typically poo poo to me unless a belgian wheat (which I enjoy just as much as cider) and I only drink it if nothing better is around.

Seriously I don't understand why people like IPAs

Amaretto is terrible. If you own it, it better be for show, and there better be a sugar-encrusted ring around the top from years of neglect.

I've been wearing a vintage leather aviator coat that makes me feel like Amelia Earhart, it's pretty sweet. I have a mildly sci-fi looking wool Michael Kors number I wear in the winter, I have to remember to take it to the dry cleaners before it gets too cold, though.

Trench coats look weird on me because I'm tall but with a short torso and belts always hit me in odd places

What? So what the hell was Johnny Appleseed up to then? Just pranking natives and future settlers by planting horrible fruit all over the place?

Johnny Appleseed was a drunk. In the past, inedible apples were a great source of tasty cider. After Johnny Appleseed died, the Temperance movement demonized him and apples in general for this reason.

So a big part of why he was celebrated is because he helped communities produce their own cheap, homemade booze.

I agree with this, I don't know why I let my friend decide this drink for me, I went back to gin and tonic afterwards since I hate overly sweet drinks.

The belts end up usually as a waist belt so it makes my tits look huge and my waist tiny despite being in a trench coat, which is always cool with me

I remember people talking about how the Sierra Nevada Celebration edition was loving amazing then I realized it was an IPA and immediately stayed away. I mean hell IPAs were invented entirely off of letting beer ferment for too long while being shipped to India.

I have too many coats, but my favorites are an Ellen Tracey sand-colored long coat with black and gray trim, one thin but long black Kors, one thicker woolen black Kors, and the one made out of a moose my grandfather shot :black101:.

Don't donate to Salvation Army please, they refuse to house gay homeless people and have even had statements going so far that we should kill all gay people.

Also Goodwill exploits handicapped workers by paying them below minimum wage while the execs make hundreds of thousands.

I recently bought a beautiful black wool coat that comes down to my ankles from a thrift shop. I wasn't going to buy it, because I certainly don't need any more coats, but my friend insisted and I'm glad she did. It's like being wrapped on a particularly elegant cocoon

oh yeah dont wear a wool coat every day if you live in fog town because the fabric can warp if you dont hang it properly when its wet and then it wont fit as beautifully!

Yeah, I was going to go with Salvation because I think Goodwill is pretty disgusting. I had heard that the CEO of Salvation Army at least isn't getting a half million dollar salary.

But I guess they suck too. I'll see if there is some local shop that accepts donations. Thanks for the tip.

Actually, if you're in Indy and you know of anywhere I don't even know where to begin to look so...
