Alright, let’s talk about this here Chanel houndstooth coat, you know, the one with them little pointy shapes all over it. Looks like dog teeth, some folks say. I ain’t no fancy pants, but I know what looks good, and this thing… well, it looks warm, that’s for sure.
First off, what is this “houndstooth” thing anyway? Sounds like somethin’ you’d find on a dog, not on a coat! But I guess it’s just a fancy word for them little squares all mashed together. Anyways, it’s a pattern, see? Like them quilts my grandma used to make, but way more…well, Chanel-like, I reckon.
Now, this ain’t just any coat, mind you. It’s a Chanel. That name, it means somethin’. Means it’s gonna cost ya a pretty penny, that’s what it means. But it also means it’s gonna be made real good, I hear. Stitching and all that, it’s gotta be top-notch.
I saw one online, they said it was from some runway show back in 2012. Can you believe it? Folks wearin’ this kinda stuff on a stage! Well, I guess if you got the money, you can wear whatever you want, wherever you want.
- They say the fit is “true to size.” Now, what that means, I ain’t exactly sure. But I guess if you wear a large, you buy a large. Simple as that, I hope.
- And the trim! That’s somethin’ else. They say it’s got this trim that goes all around the edges, makin’ it stand out. Like a frame around a picture, I guess. Sometimes it’s a different color, sometimes it’s the same, but it’s always there, makin’ it look fancy.
- Pockets, too. Gotta have pockets, a woman needs somewhere to put her things, right? These coats, they got pockets with flaps, so your stuff don’t fall out. That’s smart, real smart.
You can find these coats all over the place, I hear. Online mostly, I guess. Folks sellin’ ‘em from all over the world. New ones, old ones, some even custom-made, if you can believe it. Prices? Don’t even ask. Enough to make your head spin, that’s for sure.
Some of them coats, they got sleeves that only go down to your elbow. Not sure how warm that’d be, but I guess it looks nice. And they got buttons down the front, usually. And a collar that stands up, keepin’ your neck warm. Sounds cozy, don’t it?
I saw one that was oversized and had a hood. Now, that’s practical! Keep you warm and dry, that’s what a coat should do. And it was made of tweed, with some fancy materials like acrylic and nylon mixed in. Sounded strong, like it would last a long time.
They say you can wear a houndstooth suit, too. Jacket and pants, both with them little dog teeth all over ‘em. Not sure I could pull that off, but some folks can, I guess. It’s a classic look, they say, been around for a long time. Good for autumn and winter, when it’s cold outside.
If you’re lookin’ to buy one of these Chanel houndstooth coats, you better have deep pockets, that’s all I gotta say. But if you got the money and you want somethin’ fancy and warm, well, I guess it’s a good choice. Me? I’ll stick with my old sweater, thank you very much. But it’s nice to dream, ain’t it? Dreamin’ don’t cost nothin’.
So, that’s the lowdown on these Chanel houndstooth coats, as best as I can figure it. Fancy, expensive, warm… and got them little dog teeth all over ‘em. If that’s what you’re lookin’ for, then go for it. Just don’t blame me if you go broke buyin’ it!
Remember, a coat’s gotta keep you warm first, and look good second, that’s what I always say! You don’t need no fancy name to tell you that. But hey, if you can have both, more power to ya!
