* It's cold and gray and rainy. Maybe some day I'll be able to stop wearing my winter coat. I have no in between layers--it's either down jacket or a light raincoat that barely keeps out the wind. Trying to shop for one is kind of a nightmare because it seems like brick and mortar stores around here don't carry coats and if they do, they're for

Try Lands End for a coat/jacket. They have a wide range of weights (which you can shop by), the misses and plus sizes slightly overlap so there's not really an inbetween and they have cute styles in both size ranges.

And that's obviously not a try one in person thing, but they show measurements on the site and have generally very helpful customer reviews. They're return policy is also very easy.

If they have them in a Sears near you you can try in store.

I need a spring/fall coat too. I only have a fleece but that's too casual and not good for Spring anyway. I used to have a cute short trench style, but I outgrew it.

I find what is tough is that there are so few jackets that are both warm + waterproof, but not winter jackets and not super light raincoats. I end up layering a lot with fleece and/or a jean jacket and/or a waterproof shell.

I'm just too damn picky.  Some day I will fond something. I do like Lands End and I will check it out. Our local Sears is tiny now that Whole Foods took over more than half of it so I'm not sure if they will have anything.
