It gets really cold in Michigan, and I don't do well with cold. When I pick Will up from school we have to wait in the cold on the playground so a few years ago I bought a
Northface Metropolis coat and it still continues to be my favorite warm coat. I really didn't want to give into the Northface trend, and I didn't want to be running around town with the same coat as everyone else, but the coat is very warm. This year I was in the market for another down coat and I tried a few different brands but came back to the Northface Metropolis again, this time I got it in Graphite Grey. I found the best price at Zappos
HERE. I highly recommend this jacket and it isn't bulky and won't make you look like a puffy marshmallow.
