I live in SF and frequently visit family in the midwest. I have wool coats but not a proper puffer coat. I’m thinking of getting one but am not sure if it’s worth it or how much to invest. Advice?

I think something like a Patagonia would be good for warmth and still packable/doesn't take up much space, and could also get some wear out of it occasionally in SF. And they have some sustainable and earth-friendly practices so that's a plus.

I catch buses from hotels to airports and frequently have airline crews on the bus - take note of their gear and coats. They have some awesome tips. One I heard recently was about a Canada Goose coat that caters for unpredictable weather for example with vents. I found this (may not be the same coat - but maybe it’ll spark some thoughts)

I live in Chicago & love my Michael Kors long black puffer coat. Sure not as warm as Canada goose but a 1/10th of the price and much more portable for any travel.

I have a UNIQLO puffer coat. The seamless one. Great price, love the hood, it’s warm enough for below-zero—just layer underneath. Super affordable and looks good

You can get an Eddie Bauer on sale for much less than Canadian Goose. Unless you visit the Midwest monthly in the winter that’s a lot of money to hang in your closet

Possibly a dumb question but I’m new to buying fine jewelry. When you see items that are listed as fine jewelry at say Nordstrom’s how is that different than the items at an actual jeweler? Is there a quality difference or something else? What about between a jewelry store like Mejuri and Tiffany’s? Are there tiers that I should be aware of (more concerned about levels of quality since I can Google prices but I know that’s not always a direct correlation lol) All insights would be appreciated!
