To those who are used to making clothing decisions, this may seem trivial, but I am now in danger of standing in front of the coat pegs trying to decide which one to choose. And just to emphasise that, this post is written <em>because<\/em> I spent 30s doing exactly that the other day.<\/p>\n<p>Should I choose the sensible coat (which seems to have mysteriously lost girth in the last few years), or do I choose the extreme weather coat? Weather sometimes makes the choice for me, but more often than not it doesn&#8217;t. Which one looks better?<\/p>\n<p>Now that is a daft question. I\u00a0<em>can<\/em> make myself look &#8220;smart&#8221; but that comes at the cost of looking like I work for one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kray_twins\">Kray twins<\/a> (or rather their spiritual descendants). Probably one with an affectionate nickname like &#8220;Murder Mike&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Although that could have something to do with the expression that automatically appears on my face whenever I put on a suit. The kind that causes small children to burst into tears when they see me with it.<\/p>\n<p>On a slightly more serious note, it is worth noting that con-men have also heard the phrase &#8220;Clothes maketh the man&#8221; and makes use of it.<\/p>\n<p>Or which one is more comfortable? Well in extreme weather, the extreme weather coat of course, but it also quickly becomes too warm. And it&#8217;s heavy.<\/p>\n<p>So now I&#8217;m stuck with two coats, and if I&#8217;m late into work this morning, it&#8217;ll be because of the coat choice.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4160\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/really.zonky.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/B84V1827t1-elderley-man-past-gravestones.jpeg?resize=682%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/really.zonky.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/B84V1827t1-elderley-man-past-gravestones.jpeg?resize=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/really.zonky.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/B84V1827t1-elderley-man-past-gravestones.jpeg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/really.zonky.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/B84V1827t1-elderley-man-past-gravestones.jpeg?resize=768%2C1153&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/really.zonky.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/B84V1827t1-elderley-man-past-gravestones.jpeg?w=1359&amp;ssl=1 1359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have made the dreadful mistake of having two winter coats.
