I know BD has a following but I don't have any of their pieces.  When I am at home lounging, it's with a robe so that I can tuck my cat in for some cuddles.    I think if you want to try their stuff, this would be a good price/time, because you can always test it out and return it if you don't like it.  

If I just want to be cozy and I am going out or it's not pajama time, I like the fleece lined and sherpa lined hoodies from LLB. I have their credit card, so I always have free shipping/returns, and their quality is very good.  I like that I don't have to worry about it being too voluminous and tripping over anything.  

I bought these new colors this year-

I wear them as outerwear if it's not too cold out, or inside the house instead of a sweater.

On our school spirit days, I would wear one over one of our school tees, because I float around the building and each room is a different temperature.  I prefer them to sweaters, and I like that I can keep my neck warm.

I don't know if you saw this thread, but if you still need fashion gifts at a reasonable price, I am very happy with my purchases.

@lolakimono  I know JCP's inventory better than JCP employees.  I'm sure about that, lol.  Timing is everything and you just missed them practically giving those coats away.   

My sister's employer does a coat drive and you may recall around Labor Day me saying that she and I went to a huge mall named Great Lakes crossing where we walked for nearly 8 hours.  We stopped into a Burlington there and I said, let me look for coats, I got a feeling I will find something here for your coat drive. 

I said, you always buy for girls.  What about little boys?  Boy did I find 2 great winter coats for boys.  One for a wee boy and one for a larger boy.  These were really well made and the type of coat I would put my own son in, if I had a son.  Again I think it was timing.  We were able to get 2 coats for a song. 

The thought of a child not having a coat for winter practically gives me chest pains.  Bless you for making sure two kids will be warrm this season.

@jackthebear I wanted to wait for a deep discount too, but I walk outside for exercise and the other puffer coat I have is a maxi. Super warm but not the most practical for walking. The coat I got looks like it has a heavy duty zipper and that's what sold me. Can't stand that they put such cheap zippers on many coats.

Plus I can return it to the local TJ Maxx if I have to. Their in store selection of winter coats is abysmal

that makes sense if you need it now,

@Blingqueen023, if you like them, that is all that really matters.

UGH - feel better my friend Ms LLT @LTT1

might be just me, but I think the BF fabric and sweater LOOK cheap,  even if it's not, like cheap/inexpensive chenille 

years ago I looked at them at Nordstroms and it was really slippery IUKWIM  like it would not stay on the body

They were both on "sale" of course, and another 25% off if you spent $100.  It was almost $250 for both coats, the scarf, the gloves, and the hat/gloves set.  I put the gift receipt in the bag in case the sizing doesn't work out.  I feel badly for the 9 year old because I think it's hard to find flattering, age appropriate coats in that size.  I didn't know if she was just tall, "developed" or a bit pudgy, so I tried to find one that would fit regardless.

I can't find a picture, but I was able to get these really large zip close (holiday) tote bags at Five Below for $2 a piece.  It was worth it, because JCP didn't have boxes and coats are a PIA to wrap.
