Same here. I decided I was sick of being cold in winter, so checked the Land's End site and found a long down coat that was rated to forty degrees below zero. Zipped and buttoned and with the hood up and fully snapped, it has indeed kept me warm with a wind chill at that level and an actual temp of around 20 below (it's never hit 40 below here, thankfully); with varyingly less fastening, it's comfortable to around 35 above. I got it in 2006 and it still looks essentially new. Mind you, I've never done anything like chopping wood in it; for that I might investigate something work-durable like Carhartt.

[Edit: I think my partner has had his Carhartt winter jacket for over 20 years. It's battered and frayed, but he's done railway-museum volunteer work in it most of that time, everything from hauling/replacing railroad ties to fixing boilers to building signal systems.]

Me too, and they often have great sales. I bought an enormously large down coat from them in 2010 for cold school walks and it’s still a good choice for cold days. Eddie Bauer has good coats with a feminine cut. Black Friday is around the corner.

Love Land’s End. Great quality still!!

Our family only gets Lands End coats, all warmth levels. You can often get great deals too.
