I really love this j.crew coat bit it's so pricy and I'm afraid by the time it makes in on sale winter will be over. I love the green because it's something that will go with both black and brown.
These are way less pricy and I like light blue a lot also but I just don't know if I should hold out for the j.crew one.
they're both Kenneth Cole Reaction and I know nothing about the quality. What should I do?

If it goes on sale by the time winter is over, you'll still have it to wear for many winters to come! But if you need a coat before the green is at a price you like, get the blue one. It looks nice.

Definately, it doesn't even get cold enough for a coat here until late November, sometimes December! I'll keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't see out. Thanks!
I think you should definitely wait. The color of the jcrew coat is stunning. I'm not really feeling the blue colors, they just seem a bit matronly IMO.

I am waiting for the green J.Crew one to go on sale also. I am still kicking myself for not getting one last year. I do remember them having tons of selection on sale though. So I think we will be ok.
If I remember correctly, they have an outerwear sale in the fall (maybe October? Up north it always seems to be when we already are looking at winter coats) where everything is 20% off for a week or two.

I love the cream color too! I'm thinking if they sell out of the green, I'll hopefully have cream to fall back on.
