Now that it's September, and fall is right around the corner.... soon it will be winter. I lived in Florida for 6 1/2 years, and just moved back to Connecticut at the end of July. It's September, and it's already (for me) pretty nippy outside.

I know I will need a warm winter jacket this year. I know in the past I believe I bought mine at Kohls or Sears. I don't remember, as last time I had a winter jacket it was 2007-2008. I did bring it down w/ me though for those few cold winter days that Tampa had. However, when we moved back - the style was something I no longer cared for plus I knew it just wouldn't keep me warm enough.

What are some warm winter jackets that you recommend? I was looking at northface website earlier, and those jackets are pretty expensive. Are they worth that much extra money? Of course there is LL Bean too, but currently not liking a lot personally on their website.

Thanks for any suggestions!!

I recommend Carhartt's for your husband. Don't know much about women's jackets, TBH.

I love down coats from Land's End. I have two, plus a down vest.

I would probably buy a new one every year... but am going to try to exercise restraint

Go to a store in your area to buy a jacket.
They know best what the people in that area want - and NEED - in a winter coat, and they stock accordingly.

Down winter coats are supposed to keep you warm but also look stylish. What about Macy's? They often have sales plus the coupons.

Yeah, a winter coat is not something that you want to cheap out on if you live someplace that gets cold and snowy.
