sj, you can get a fleece coat with a nylon or quilted nylon liner. The fleece is snuggly warm, and the liner stops the wind. Still not waterproof, but fleece dries in a flash and is still warm when damp. Plus, fleece is ultra lightweight compared to wool or other natural fibers. (Loves fleece). And as Hec says, you can usually find something styled like traditional wool.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

sj, search for vegan winter coats--the first few links on google seem to have some other helpful links!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
meara, I've done that a few times. This site would be awesome if I could afford any of the coats.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
sj, zulily.com won't quite let me do a direct link to one item, but if you go to their site and search for "felt trench coat," there's exactly one left.
eta: They also have some Kenneth Cole and Betsey Johnson winter coats and long jackets that are cute and vegan.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
ita !, what price range, length and amount of floof are you looking for in pink petticoats. There's a local store with a darling extra-floofy, knee-length one in cupcake pink. It was being displayed from the ceiling so I thought I'd judge interest before I let the woman get it down for me. She has a store I definitely want to poke through.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
My final email exchange with Closet World, I expressed my disappointment that a custom closet installer couldn't do a custom sized door. She mentioned that "only one place in Southern California does custom closet doors, and they are in Torrence", but didn't give any name or anything. Just so happens, that is the location of the place I sent an internet request to. They responded this morning. We set up a time Friday afternoon. And then they emailed me a catalog. Here's hoping they can do it, and it's affordable.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Knee length and cupcake pink would be perfect, Cass (burgundy is the other consideration)! I am learning about prices though--I've never bought any other than white--the ones Jilli pointed out were $50+.

Sock Dreams has petticoats, including one described as mid-length (the description says it's knee length), but I don't know how they are on softness: [link]
