Read an article in the paper today (off–line on newsprint) that trench
coats are making a comeback for women.
Man, I remember when this one hit a few years back and *everyone* seemed
to be wearing them. Hope it's not true as we don't need a city full of
Columbos again...
probably don't make a short person look taller, if you know what I mean. (I
tried to ebay a navy one with red stitching last fall and got zero bids on
it.)
I would strongly recommend that anyone––or at least any woman––who is
looking for a great deal on trench coats should head to the nearest
Salvation Army store. I always see tons of London Fog and Misty Harbor
trenchcoats there in a huge range of colors, usually in great condition and
priced between $5 and $10. Like dress coats, trench/raincoats seem to
languish in closets, remaining in great condition until they are donated.

much less in. However, A pal gave me the WNTW book for Xmas. Trinny and
Susannah advise women of my build (along Susannah's mould) to avoid
trenchcoats. I was in the market for a new coat, so I went out looking for a
non–trench. Sadly, I found the most gorgeous brick red–deep berry (I swear
it changes shades) trench. Had to lemming. I do look as wide as two Mack
trucks with it buttoned and belted, so I mostly run around with it open.
Kind of defeats the purpose. But it's a coat that gives one that "princess"
feeling. Very fun.

raincoat above is a good alternative if you want to avoid that.
I like the colors too....too bad it's sold out.

I bought a trench years ago, as they're classic and sort of
executive–looking, but found that they do, indeed, make me look four
feet wide. Won't buy one again, regardless of the color! But I do need
a raincoat. Any suggestions re a good cut for a short, stocky woman's
raincoat?

in stock yet because it is a new item for the spring. It was just
added to the Gap website a few days ago and I haven't seen these in
the stores yet. There may also be more colors in the stores not
available online – they did this with the macs last year. I have
their bright blue mac from last spring and the pale lavender sateen
one from the fall. I always look forward to rainy weather because
wearing them makes me feel cheery!
