I adore the classic Hudson's Bay coats (and blankets - and anything done up in the iconic multi-coloured stripes) so much, too. They're shot up so much in price over the years, haven't they? If I see one (online or off) that doesn't cost the moon, I will let you know immediately. <br /><br />For sure!!! The hunt is a huge part of the fun - be it for a certain item, a bargain, or (more often than not for me personally) both in one go.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-12494845836435141372013-08-08T08:46:30.957-07:002013-08-08T08:46:30.957-07:00I have a few vintage winter coats - all a bit on t...I have a few vintage winter coats - all a bit on the fancy side, nothing snow-bunny-esque - and all of my footwear is modern. I am however on a serious hunt for a classic Hudson's Bay peacoat in my size. What a task!! For the price of a vintage one I'm almost tempted to buy a new one at The Bay. The hunt is half the fun though isn't it?!<br /><br />Lisa.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496217916948996526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-24183355195565183522013-08-07T11:47:12.740-07:002013-08-07T11:47:12.740-07:00Hi sweet Sanne, I'm with you completely.

I have indeed, and may very well pursue that avenue if nothing else is forthcoming/suitable in what I can find. It's largely the cost involved with custom tailoring that's held me back from doing so this far (I keep hoping to find some great deals on vintage), but depending on what a given seamstress charged, her prices could be on par with the middle to higher end of online retail, so ultimately the cost could be similar if bargains prove elusive. Whether I go the seamstress or store bought route, I will be sure to post an update here on my blog to let everyone know how my hunt went.<br /><br />Thanks again & have a splendid weekend,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-48732451335623562722013-08-02T23:09:16.761-07:002013-08-02T23:09:16.761-07:00Thank you very, dear gal, those are definitely gre...Thank you very, dear gal, those are definitely great ideas. I'm always very mindful of my budget and adore finding ways to grow my vintage wardrobe without spending much or anything, too. I think that embodying that kind of creative, resourceful spirit is so in line with the fashions from the very era we adore and that doing so would make our foremothers pleased. Why spend (or spend a lot) if there are creative ways to acquire what you want in a win-win situation that works great for both parties?<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-62472577419266087242013-08-02T22:55:39.652-07:002013-08-02T22:55:39.652-07:00Hi Anastasia, thank you very much for your comment...Hi Anastasia, thank you very much for your comment. I don't think that's strange at all - winter is always in the back of one's mind here in Canada, no matter the time of the year, and keeping an eye out for cold weather garb year round - especially from the second half of summer onwards makes perfect, logical sense. <br /><br />Best of luck with your own hunt! <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-63261714647482644222013-08-02T22:27:40.764-07:002013-08-02T22:27:40.764-07:00Thank you very much, dearest Joanna.

Great idea, come the colder months, look for another post (or two, etc) on vintage ski wear.
