Back in 2017, we published an exhaustive guide tobuying a coatthat covered everything from the history of winter coats to a close inspection of the down fill inside a Canada Goose jacket. Nearly a decade later, we’ve come back to that idea — but in a bigger way. For the next five days, you’ll find answers to coat-related questions of all kinds, such as what differentiates an Aritzia Super Puff from a Lululemon Wunder Puff and which parkas snow-removal specialists wear. You’ll find new and updated guides toplus-size outerwear,cheap and warm coats under $300, and evendog jackets. To round out our recommendations, we polled dozens of New Yorkers about their coats of choice, and we asked people who live in the coldest parts of the U.S. (such as Alaska, North Dakota, and New Hampshire) what they wear to stay warm. We went on a lot of Strategist hunts, too — for a coatSamantha Parkington(as in, theAmerican Girl doll) might have worn and for a mostly wool, not too expensive overcoat — and we tried on (and reviewed) Quince puffers along with a heated coat from the same company that makesReba McEntire’sandLou Diamond Phillips’sfavorite vests.Plus, we’ll find the coat Strategist readers have always wanted (and haven’t found) for our “Ask the Strategist” column.

Do you feel that chill in the air? Welcome to Coat Week on the Strategist.
