FASHIONABLE CAR COATS!!!
It is time to bring back a classic! Whenever I think of wearing wool car coats I get this kind of picture in my mind of Audrey Hepburn or Ingrid Bergman (remember Stromboli?) elegantly perched by some convertible. I really love these and they do make quite a fashion statement because you don’t see them around as much anymore. So let’s bring them back!
I perused the web a bit to find some deals on fashionable wool car coats. You can choose what color you’d like by clicking through the links that is where you buy them too. Sizing isn’t too much of a problem considering they are coats, but if there are any problems amazon has a good return policy.
Here is the first one I found:
You save quite a bit of money by buying from there, I couldn’t believe they have a full wool coat for 99$.

Car coats are outwear which were originally designed for driving in open cars, which could get cold in the evening or at high rates of speed. A car coat often also has a stylish flair, so that a dashing motorist could step out of a vehicle looking fashionable. Many companies make car coats to wear in various contexts, not just cars; a car coat can be a stylish and useful addition to a wardrobe. Department stores usually carry an array of car coats, especially in the fall and winter.
The main distinguishing feature of a car coat is the A-line style, flat front, and mid thigh length. These features make a car coat practical for wearing in a car, because they allow a driver to move comfortably while staying warm. The A-line ensures that there is room around the hips to move, since it creates a slight flare in the car coat. The flat front reduces the probability of bunching, which can cause discomfort, and the mid-thigh length prevents the driver from becoming tangled in the coat.
An assortment of materials are used to make car coats. As a general rule, thick fabrics like tweed and dense wool are frequently employed, because they are warming, and leather is not uncommon. A car coat is also often lined with silk or another soft material. Both buttons and zippers are used to fasten a car coat, and they are sometimes hidden behind a flap of material for insulating warmth. This style is known as a flat front placket, as the term “placket” is used in fashion to refer to an opening in fabric, or a layer designed to make that opening more discreet. A flat front placket creates a smooth, even line without distracting buttons.
A car coat often also has large, deep pockets to hold an assortment of items, including keys. As a general rule, a car coat would be checked at the door of an establishment, along with other outerwear. Outside the car, a car coat strikes a happy medium between a full length trench and a regular coat. When the weather does not merit a full trench but still requires protection of the upper body, a car coat can be ideal. Styles for both men and women are available with an assortment of decorative accents. An accessorizing scarf or sash is a frequent accompaniment to a car coat for women.
