Winter in Philadelphia is bitter.  And, since I love to walk to work (it’s a 5 minute walk to the studio), and I must walk Joe our dog, venturing outside is a must.  So, I’m on the hunt for a long down coat.  It’s actually hard to find a full length down coat for some reason (Brooklyn Industries used to make one that was really ugly, but looked warm, but I haven’t found it anywhere on the web).  So, it seems as though Bluefly has a decent selection of down coats.

And, long leather gloves are another must-have.  These will keep out the draft in the wrist-cuff region, and they are cashmere lined which is a major plus.

And, a trapper hat.  There is a really odd website, furhatworld.com, which has an amazing range of trapper style hats.
