Splurge vs. Steal - The Camel Coat

This winter's IT outerwear item is the camel coat.  It will be a coat you'll go to each year.  One that should be in your arsenal of toasty coverups.  I have found two great examples on opposite sides of the price spectrum.  Both are not your classic topper and fit in today's modern lifestyle.

Mackage is a Canadian company which makes superb coats for men and women.  You can be sure that any coat from them will make you stand out in the boring sea of classic styles.  The Leigh coat has amazing knit sleeves and collar with a buttery soft leather belt.  It's $650.00 on the Mackage website.

The Gregg Coat by BB Dakota is very avant garde.  You can be sure you won't see anybody else walking down the street in this number.  It's a wrap which is also reined in with a leather belt as the above coat.  It has a loose fit which makes it great for layering.  You can find this beauty on needsupply.com for only $120.00
