I&#39;ve been searching online and in stores now for a good quality, fashionable wool winter coat. I admit I have a few nice coats already, but I like to have possibilities. The problem is, I wear a 16 in women&#39;s clothing. The nice coats come up to size 12 or 14. After that the coats s tart to come in 1X, 2X etc, which is too big for me and they tend to look like sacks with buttons. I never understand why designers do this. It&#39;s almost like they&#39;re saying big women don&#39;t need coats, I guess the chub will keep us warm <_< :lol: . Anybody have any good suggestions?

Burlington should be a success for you.

www.newport-news.com is a great site. I&#39;ve gotten leather, berber fleece and wool coats from here, usually off-season for real cheap, but it&#39;s another option.

Not so reasonably priced is the coats from Lee Lee&#39;s Valise (http://leeleesvalise.com/) (great boutique in Brooklyn, NY & online!).

I actually purchased my coat from Chadwick&#39;s (http://www.chadwicks.com/), and its comfy, warm and fashionable (imho)
