"Trends F/W 07-08 Winter Coats 3 , All sorts of coats for winter"
Timeless, iconic and classic can all describe the pea coat, but I’d prefer to use reliable. I’ve had mine for the past 6 years and it still beats off the snow, rain and wind in the breezy city. But it looks razor-sharp too, working well with most anything such as a suit or sweater, jeans or slacks. It’s reliable because it keeps you warm, makes you look fine and lasts a lengthy time, perfect for the during the winter.
The original pea coat was first crafted for European sailors in the navy during the early 19th century. The US Navy began to issue them in the earlier 20th century and continue to do so. In 1980, they changed the color to black. The design hasn’t changed far over its history, maintaining the wide lapels, double breasted style, slash pockets and buttons etched in with a ship’s anchor. Made with worsted wool, it’s very durable, easily providing warmth and shelter from winds and rain. You can flip up the collar for added protection.
The weight of the Navy issued coats are heavier than newer designs, but think of it as a mini work out when walking around. Personally, I like the classic style, mine being from 1963, but I also had it tailored, narrowed at the waist. The traditional pea coat tends to be box like.
Since pea coats have a distinct look and have been around a long time, you can always find numerous different styles made by several high end designers. These tend to cost much more but will offer you something in a different color or high quality material or different look. They’re always made from wool and even blended with cashmere. Don’t go cheap with a pea coat, however, because it was designed to last and not really be tossed aside like a fickle fashion trend.
Some things to avoid are styles that are as well long, particularly if you’re medium height because it’ll make you look shorter. Go for something that is no longer than mid thigh. Also, choose darker colors, such as navy, dark or grey because they will go with most anything, at the office or for the weekend.
So you certainly don’t need to be a sailor to wear a pea coat anymore. They’ve become part of American style and tradition. Pea coats will never be a temporary trend found in a fashion rag, but a lengthy term investment for your winter wardrobe. There are always good options available and it’s a personal preference if you want the traditional, Navy look or something with a modern edge. It’s just going to get colder out there so we need to look fine and stay warm. And when you step out there, wear it proudly.

The coat is too small for me. They are squatting rough (living outdoors) and I see them daily. They are nice. These people, a huge family, NEVER pester me. This was a horrendously long and cold winter. Heaven knows how they get by. No way to cook? No toilet facilities? They aren’t even in one of these “gens de voyage” trailer camps, which get portable toilets, big trash bins, and drinking water, as well as help. This family is in a huge, three-story garage, in the process of being demolished. Lisa B. Falour copyright 2010 (LISA, INC. EURL) “Desire not the fruits of thy labors.” — The Bhagavad Gita
A Documentary from BBC 2008© Life in Cold Blood: The Cold Blooded Truth Host: Sir David Attenborough Aired Date: February 4, 2008 Episode: 1 The first episode discusses the keys to success of reptiles and amphibians, looking at thermoregulation, parental care and the time-scales on which reptiles operate. Attenborough begins in the Galápagos Islands, using thermal imaging to demonstrate how marine iguanas warm their bodies by basking in the sun before feeding. Meanwhile, the lizard inhabitants of a Minorcan island have a relationship with its indigenous dead horse arum plants. Attenborough visits Dassen Island to witness one of the world’s greatest concentrations of tortoises — around 5000 of them. Few reptiles are active at night, but crocodiles can rely on water that retains much of its daytime temperature. Conversely, amphibians’ moist skin would be damaged by the sun and so most are nocturnal. An exception is the waxy monkey leaf frog, which can deal with sunlight by covering its body in a wax secretion. A puff adder illustrates the relative inactivity of reptiles compared to mammals: one large meal can last up to a year. When it hatches at the onset of winter, the young painted turtle stays underground, near frozen until the spring when it can emerge. Attenborough wonders if the dinosaurs’ immense size allowed them to maintain warm blood. The largest living reptile is the leatherback turtle and indeed is able to do so because of insulating body fat. Under the Skin …

A Nik Kershaw cover. thanks to sweet-prince.com Lyrics: I got it bad you don’t know how bad I got it. Youve got it easy you don’t know when you’ve got it good. It’s getting harder just keeping life and soul together I’m sick of fighting even though I know I should. The cold is biting through each and every nerve and fiber My broken spirit is frozen to the core. I don’t want to be here. Wouldn’t it be good to be in your shoes even if it was for just one day And wouldn’t it be good if we could wish ourselves away. You must be joking you don’t know a thing about it. You’ve got no problems I’d stay right there if I were you. I got it harder you couldn’t dream how hard I got it Stay out of my shoes if you know what’s good for you. The heat is stifling burning me up from the inside. The cold is dripping from each and every pore. I don’t want to be here no more. I don’t want to be here no more. Wouldn’t it be good to be in your shoes even if it was for just one day And wouldn’t it be good if we could wish ourselves away. Wouldnt it be good to be on your side, the grass is always greener over there. Wouldnt it be good if we could live without a care.

Anthony Lucas of Eminence Speakers talks about the brand new Flux Density Modulation speaker models. There will be two models a Red Coat Series “Reignmaker” and a Patriot Series “Maverick”. Essentially these brand new speaker models will have a built in attenuator on the back of the magnet that will give you up to -9dB of attenuation. I played the Reignmaker model and it sounded amazing and felt great too. Not like an amp and an external attenuator box. Game changing for controlling an amplifiers volume if you ask me.
