It's already getting cold where I live so I'm looking for some pretty but durable coats. What brands have the best quality? Doesn't have to be specifically lolita brands. Thanks for any help.

>> No.8612891

Ooooo I need this. Also anybody have any links for furry type coats ? Like white or pink?

>> No.8613473

I have this exact coat but in a different colourway and it seems great. It was really warm when I tried it on but I haven't worn it in the winter yet.

I also have the Bodyline l460 coat and it's a good quality BL item- thick, fully lined, nice lace&buttons plus pockets. Also haven't tried it on in the winter but it will probably be a few months until it's cold enough for it here.

I got this review coat last year and it's pretty nice, but it rarely gets cold enough to wear it here. Review has a lot of elegant coats, I don't know how the warmth is as there aren't really sub 0 temps to test it in.

I like Rose Melody coats the most as you can choose between berber fleece and quilted lining hiwch makes them warm enough for winter here (~ -20°C) when wearing few layers of fur tights and sweaters.

>> No.8614541

Does anyone know how MM does under really cold weather? I'm talking min -40 (doesn't matter if it's C or F at this point lol).

Oh sweet, maybe I should look into those I sincerely doubt without some fleece linings I'll be able to make it but the coat sounds really good with some layering.

It's very much a beige in real life, and yes, the capelets are detachable. They're lined, and tuck under the collar, then tie with the ribbon attachments. I've worn them with both at once, just the coat, or just the capelet on a warmer day.

Holler if there's anything else you want pics of, they're right beside me!

I have MM's alistine coat (50/50 angora-wool blend), and I really like it. Where I live, it gets to around -30 celcius with wind chill. The material is surprisingly warm for its weight - it is thinner than most wool coats, but since it's angora I don't think the extra thickness is needed anyways. It keeps me noticeably warmer than my other wool blend coats. I still layer a bit to stay totally warm, though.

I bought a VM coat last year and I'm utterly disappointed by its quality. MM is superior in every way.

I live in England, and they're pretty good - they keep the rain out, but if it's very cold, you might also want to wear a cardigan under them.

Anon would reccomend buying a bigger coat than you need, so you can layer of it gets really cold.

The fur cuffs can roll down, which lengthens the sleeves a bit, and means no cold wrists.

I really want the black as well, though I wouldn't mind settling for the blue one. Wine is very pretty but it would go with nothing on my wardrobe, unfortunately. I'm hoping you are right because I'm in dire need. Though if it does get restocked, it'll probably suffer a price markup..
