LYC: I can't find a winter jacket for $80 or less. Everything at the price point is either ugly or not warm enough.

Posted by Krusty (aka krustylu) Dec 30 '11, 13:58

I searched online and I went to Burlington and then to Century 21 today but still nothing. I don't think anything at my price range is going to be good enough.

I'm not even being picky about it being name brand like North Face. I just don't want a shiny bubble jacket which seems to be the most available at my range. I want something with a hood that is water/wind resistant and warm enough to make it through a NE winter.

I even checked the local Goodwill, Salvation Army and thrift stores with no luck. Shopping is usually fun but this is getting frustrating.

Wow, I'm shocked Burlington didn't have anything good. Just picked up two coats there last month. I'll second the thrift store suggestion. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 30, 14:27 1
- I was too. I saw one online that looked nice but when I went and tried it on it was really thin. - Krusty Dec 30, 14:33
Goodwill or WalMart -- nm - budice Dec 30, 14:12 2
- Army Surplus too -- nm - budice Dec 30, 14:12 1

buy a fleece hoody wear it under a nice regular jacket.. costco has some winter coats with fleece lining for 50-60 - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 30, 14:08 2
- That's what I do now and it doesn't work for me anymore. - Krusty Dec 30, 14:17 1
  - ski jackets are basically nylon canvas shell with a fleece lining, a couple tacts you can sew yourself. - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 30, 14:29
Old Navy? -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 30, 14:06 1
- Tried them, nothing really good for the winter weather. My gf got a nice coat from them on Wed. for like $40. - Krusty Dec 30, 14:09
Huh, I found my coat at Salvation Army 10 years ago for 4 bucks - amoxy Dec 30, 14:02 2
- If I had a car I'd try a Salvation Army away from the city. - Krusty Dec 30, 14:06 1
  - yeah, I could see there being big competition shopping for vintage clothes where you live -- nm - crash davis Dec 30, 14:07
nobody has any worthwhile sales listed in the paper? -- nm - peglegpete Dec 30, 14:00
weird. articles were saying that stores were marking them down the most at Xmas because temps have been so mild this year -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 30, 13:59 11
- I read all about big sales and I can't find anything at my price range. I've needed a jacket for two years and figured I'd get a good deal. - Krusty Dec 30, 14:04 10
  - what about Daffy's? they have some great sale racks. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 14:20 9
    - Or Loehmann's. the discount places. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 14:20 8
      - Two stores I haven't checked. Thanks. Daffy's has men's stuff right? -- nm - Krusty Dec 30, 14:22 7
        
        Daffy's yes. Loehmanns I'm not sure. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 14:27 6
        
        Oh, and Century 21. I know they have men's. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 14:28 5
        
        Century 21 is the worst store on earth. I don't know why I ever think to go there. - Krusty Dec 30, 14:34 3
        
        yeah, it's awful, but that's the price you pay for buying cheap. :) - loosilu Dec 30, 14:40 2
        
        And not as cheap as I thought. I've bought stuff there for really cheap but their jackets weren't. The had few racks that were 1/3 off but it was - Krusty Dec 30, 14:44 1
        
        *They had a few* -- nm - Krusty Dec 30, 14:44
        
        Ooops, forgot you tried that. But I will also add TJ Maxx and Marshall's. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 14:29
