I'm leaning toward the Sandra Betzina because I think it won't need too much alteration and it is a style I'll get a lot of wear out of. I also like the second Vogue precisely because its such an impractical coat (in terms of fending off the cold around neck & shoulders). I don't really need a heavy wool coat down here in Texas. Every time I reach into the coat closet for the vacuum, I'm reminded of the cherry red felted wool jacket and the winter white cashmere blend car coat that I bought in London last Spring which I only managed to wear twice each this past Winter. But, I love coats and I just can't pass up the valuable learning experience Marji is so generously offering at TGCSA. So "hold on to your cahones," 'cause I'm in!

Yaaay! I'm looking forward to seeing your coat come along. The S. Betzina one was my first pick as well - again for the versatility. Good luck!
