What we know for certain is that colder temperatures and mass amounts of snow are surely on their way. It is now the time for ultimate levels of coziness and warmth when it comes to your clothing. And the most important item in your closet over the winter? Your jacket of course. If you are in search for a new winter coat then you are most definitely in the right place.
