Many San Diegans never bother to buy heavy coats. With warm days year-round, it seems like an unnecessary expense. But when those few gusty, drizzly days do come around, it feels tempting to head to the mall and snag a stylish and (often) expensive piece of wool.
Whether you live in a climate like mine or a more consistently frigid one, heavy coats do not have to be a threat to your pocket book. The Italian-made coat pictured below was purchased for less than $20 US at a local AmVets Thrift Store. Not only do you find guilt-free bargains at stores like AmVets and The Salvation Army, you help support their humanitarian programs.

two classy thumbs up.
I envy you for living in a warm place!! It's always cold in England, meaning a good coat does go far.
I love the style and colour of your coat.
Nice coat!
I like the pants colour.
but I;m always think about how to clean these kind of winter coats,
coz always we need to dry clean, and it's not that cheap...I wonder if there is a way to wash by ourselves....?
You, my friend, have found an incredible item! I rarely have this much luck shopping for vintage clothes (jewelry is another story - that I can do).
Hope all is well! And I wish you a very merry holiday season and a happy 2011!

Love the new coat definition - "a stylish and (often) expensive piece of wool". This should be in dictionaries :)
But wow, 20 USD? Only possible in the US!
i agree, no one in LA owns a heavy jacket either but we could all use one for those days that get below 60 degrees haha

Thanks to a twitter recommendation, I've only just discovered your blog. I've been missing out. You've found a new reader in me.
The slight cuff of the pants make this

That jacket is great. I feel like San Diego's weather is just fickle enough that I need a large jacket.
