a blue one that goes past the waist and has a removable lining (which can be separately worn as a waist-length windbreaker) that i like the most and wear almost exclusively once it starts getting cool (its perfect in mild weather without the lining, and quite warm with it in)

a green one goes just barely past the waist, i usually only wear it when the blue one needs cleaning

a dark brown thick jacket that goes well past my waist. its not particularly nice, i got it from the salvation army for a few bucks and wear it when im going to work under the house on something, or will be working on something particularly dirty outside, or when it snows while i shovel the driveway since its a little thicker than the other 2

i have a wool coat with leather sleeves, but its a bit too large for me and i havent worn it in some time.

I have 1 lambskin jacket and ~4 long-sleeved shirts. It has to be <40 degrees before I wear the jacket...

I have 5 coats. However two of them are just old and not worn anymore. One is a leather coat which I usually wear most of the time since it's nice and thin and doesn't heat me up too much. There is no such thing as winter where I live so I don't get to wear coats much.

I also have 2 sueded leather jackets that I wear when I go out or the situation calls for being dressed up more.

I can't believe someone would comment on your wearing the same coat all the time... that's so rude.

I have... 2, basically.
1. Black wool coat
2. Columbia ski coat

I also have a lined leather coat, but that's not really warm enough for winter.

That's what I thought, but I figured I'd consult with the experts here first. Thanks :beer:

I guess 2, 1 snowboard style coat, and 1 leather. But the leather is not really warm enough to be a winter coat. More like a spring/fall coat.

But sometimes with a sweater underneath, I do wear it in the winter. :p

I have a Columbia coat that's truely a winter coat. If it's above 40 degrees, I'll wear my lined leather jacket.
