Winter coat

When I was in Gibsons back in November, I inherited my mom's old winter coat. This is a coat that she has kept for a very long time but doesn't wear anymore. I thought that perhaps I could take it back to Edmonton with me, tailor it a bit and be able to wear it for the winter. It's really thick and heavy, as well as quite long over the legs, so I thought it might be great for keeping the wind off my lower half. I was worried that it would cost me a good chunk of cash to modify it, but was pleasantly surprised when it only cost me 65$ to completely tailor it AND get a new zipper (the old one was pretty sucky and always stuck). I picked it up on Friday and was very happy with the results. The tailor did an amazing job - you can't even tell that she took any fabric out (yes, I'm sure she did actually take out some fabric - it fits better now). I took some pictures: That's right, I'm a supermodel.
I wore it to Garrett's when it was around -10 and I was WAY warmer! The biggest difference was keeping the wind off my legs - it made a huge difference to how warm I felt! Way to go jacket!
