J.Crew Coats: Which One Is For You?

"Thanks!" to Marta who suggested a great topic for a post, which is about which coat you currently really love and/or planning to get from J.Crew. There are lots of beautiful new choices in J.Crew's outerwear page (click here to view). Also, the discussion can include conversations like sizing (are coats true to size? or do they need to be sized up or down?), to Thinsulate or not to Thinsulate, and the like.

Although I will most likely not purchase a winter coat this season, I am in love with the Italian houndstooth Greta jacket (Item 96180; $375.00). I think the pattern and style of the swing coat makes it stand out for this Fall season. However, if I could buy one coat for the winter, hands down, it would be the Stadium-cloth Shipley coat (Item 99248, $350.00) in white. Not only does it have a beautiful shape for a coat, but the fabric (the stadium cloth) is fantastic at keeping me warm during the bitter cold New England winters.

What J.Crew coat do you currently love and/or planning to get? Why did you choose that coat? If you tried it on (or already own it), please share with us what you think about sizing and the like? Would you recommend the option to Thinsulate?
