Anybody looking for a coat/jacket?

last year

I recently bought a Lands End coat at Kohl's. It is super lightweight. Filled with a "hyper down". I like warmth but not bulk. It is the best, in case someone is looking. I bought this beautiful pink color but it comes in several colors.

Judy, it looks nice and such a fun color.👍🏻

Also not a jacket but I love this pullover from LL Bean that was a gift from my daughter.

I have something similar in black and it is surprisingly light and surprisingly warm.

Not a jacket, but I have three Lands End in the same style vests that I love, I have green, red, and white. Good for the holidays! Warm, light, just perfect. I wear them at home since I am the only person in this house who is always cold.

Yellow jackets..help!
Q

What size pot are you talking about? It could be that the yellow jackets have made a nest in the ground UNDER the pot and are using the pot as an entry point to their nest. I have had this happen once. You didn't say if it was on the ground or not. If it is on the ground, here is what I did. I waited till dark when the insects have gone to bed (haha). They are all on the nest. Move the pot. ( To keep from getting too close use a stick to push it over). If they have a nest under the pot, there will be a sizable entry point in the ground.The hole will likely be as big or bigger than a thumb. With the hen and chicks out of the way, you can pour any kind of pesticide in there (sevin, gasoline, etc).Do this in the dark with only a flashlite as necessary as they may start out of the nest as the light can alert them. All this is if the pot is on the ground. If not, I think you should remove the plant from the pot.do this in the dark. Maybe knock it over with a stick and let the plant lie there in the open. This should not hurt the plant if you don't leave it there out of the pot more than a day as this is a succulent. The yellow jackets should move on.

Coat closet & other places to store coats
Q

The transition seasons are hardest, aren't they? But I would say either store only TWO coats (a lightish one for whichever season you have, and a heavier one for that season) in that closet. At the very least, I would say that wool dress coats should go in the bedrooms; they're probably not used daily. And when you want them (dress-up days), you'll be willing to go get them, probably. (And if you're not, then maybe you don't really need to own them--I do not ever buy my kids, or me, dress coats.) And rain coats can go in the closets, because if you need them, you'll REALLY need them, and you'll be willing to go there to get them. And you probably don't use them *that* often. Or, start storing ALL coats in the bedrooms. At the very least, perhaps you can train yourself to travel all the way into your bedroom before you take your coat off; then it's just the 2 boys. (I bought a Lands End Squall, bcs it's light AND heavy.)

New drywall finish question. Skim coat=plaster coat=?
Q

We did veneer plaster for a couple of reasons. In our regional area, no one does it. We had to go to a specialty supplier and order it in. We found someone who trained in Maine to install it and the only reason it was a bit more expensive than drywall is because our original framing was uneven and we ordered 5/8" thick sheets. I had a pretty strong aversion to drywall after the adventures with mold. Veener plaster is freakin' gorgeous, perfectly smooth and we would do it again in a heartbeat. The feel of it perfectly matches the rest of the house - which is all 1920's plaster. Here, people call the supposedly water resistant drywall "blueboard", so I was surprised by what it looked like (gray, gray and more gray) and that it was made up of two slightly different layers and that it is much harder and denser than drywall. It works pretty well as a sound deadener too! @casey Wow, that is really nice!

Clean leather jacket
Q

If you can find a source, saddle soap is the cleaning product to use with leather. Most shoe stores sell it and any retailer who sells leather products should have it. Mine is in a tin similar to a paste shoe polish tin. Moisten a rag with water, mix it into the saddle soap paste and then apply to the leather. Once it dries, rub or buff it off to a nice luster. I seem to think that it comes in a liquid form, as well. The thing to consider with leather is to never use a product that will dry the leather. That's why I, personally, would not use Dawn...or any product with an alcohol base. But you can wipe the leather down with a damp cloth as long as you hand dry it once the moisture has been applied. Don't hang it out to dry...or leave it wet. I, too, would want to get rid of any odor [perhaps a pesticide was used in the store] so I understand your desire to clean it. If you don't want to put the time into using the saddle soap...ask a good dry cleaner in your area whether they are equipped to clean it. Some cleaners aren't...so use caution. Many moons ago I lost a very high end suede pant suit to the ineptitude of my local dry cleaner so I learned from experience not to be so trusting. Good luck....HTH. Anne

Looks nice, but the sleeves are too short.

Lightweight and warm - sounds wonderful. (and pretty color).

I also like that LLBean pullover.

Nice and cozy.

I have an ancient navy Liz Claiborne down coat with a detachable fur-edged hood. For years I thought this was fake fur since I am an animal activist and would never wear fur. But in tiny print somewhere I found it was not fake. This coat is rather long, so lightweight it's like a feather and I have worn it hiking in zero degrees, and wasn't cold. It has many pockets, zippers as well as toggles so I'll wear it till it falls apart.

Witty's comment about the sleeves reminded me of a purchase I made directly from Lands' End last year. A coat in one of their sale catalogs jumped out at me. It was a long coat made for extreme weather, and I could really see myself bundled up in it. With the considerable discount they offered, the price was around $100. I ordered it in bright red and chose size M as I own two Lands' End Squall Parkas in that size.

I was excited when the coat arrived, but not excited about the fit, which was snug. Not what I had in mind at all. I should have returned it, but I was so committed to . . . I don't know what. I hung onto it, thinking I might lose a little weight. So here we are the following year. I did lose weight (though not for the coat), and now it's no longer snug. It's just unflattering. And I noticed for the first time that the sleeves are way too long! I wish I hadn't removed the tags.

Judy Good, I'm glad you had a much better experience with your coat!

I have been looking for a coat to take on an early spring cruise to Japan knowing the air on the ocean would be cold. All I have found for women were snug at the waist including the one I purchased after looking at the reviews and picture because it did not look snug. Problem with snug at the waist is it is difficult to raise you arms above your head without stressing the arm pits. Gone are the days when there was extra fabric in that area so you could. Rant over.

Years ago I bought a Rain Forest down coat in burgundy, on sale at TJ. Now that we aren't going to Maui in winter, it's getting some use. It may see some action in the coming week, if our too warm winter gets in gear. I've been warm enough in an inexpensive Talbot's wool jacket most days, but it's a tight fit. The jacket is XS (my size); the coat is a Medium. I need to remember to try coats on over heavy tops, not just a blouse.
