What sort of style were you looking for & I'll have a look?

NEVER TOO EARLY! Though really they're quite pricey right now.

but *where are they* is my point ?!!

Well, they had some really nice ones in the window at Burberry.

I've bought my winter coat already. YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO PREPARED!

shouldn't they be cheaper right now?

God I need a new winter coat. And I'd have thought Horace was right. I guess though that filling shelves with winter stuff isn't going to shift a lot of units at this time of year.

It's always the exact opposite of what you'd think. Anyway, if you are buying a coat from LAST winter, it will be cheap as hell but not many will be left on the shelves--they are restocking with THIS fall/winter stock right now, which will be full priced.

thrift store coats are the way to go!

I have bought two winter coats. One in about 1975, one in 1999. I expect to buy another when I retire, roughly.
