NEW: Warm winter coats from Spiewak

Spiewak's 2nd delivery of women's coats are on the racks and going fast. We are not surprised by this as these full winter coats will keep you warm, look great and they don't break the bank!

Come try them on for yourself.

Spiewak Welmore Down Coat in Smoke $180.00

A feather down filled coat that is very lightweight but warm.

The quilted tailoring creates an hourglass shape and won't leave you looking like a marsh mellow like some of those other down coats do. Double zipper front with snap closure to secure wind from penetrating through.

The over sized collar can be turned up and gathered in to create a warm funnel neck.

The interior drawstring located at the small of the back can also be drawn in to create even more of a tailored fit through the waist!
