Buying Season

Even though everyone's ready to start thinking about spring, January is actually the perfect time to buy a new coat. Face it, we've still got months of cold upon us and while brightly-colored,  airy summer items are hitting the sales floor, winter merchandise is being marked to move. So if you were thinking about finally getting that dressy topcoat or waxed weekend jacket, now's the time to pull the trigger. We'll be stopping by Club Monaco to pick up this down puffer. Cut in either nylon or wool, the slim fit and preppy white trim make it look like something Thom Browne designed for his Moncler Gamme Bleu collection. But at a fraction of the cost, of course.
