The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday September 18, 2002 - B3 Barrington's has coat of your dreams H a lto n S e a rch .c^tn Continued from page B1 The Drizzle label features 100 per cent waterproof velvet rain wear that will have you wishing for a downpour! Classic "must have" colours to add to your wardrobe this season include black, brown, grey mixes, camel, navy, winter white and loden green. For that extra flair, try a coat from the Linda Richards of New York collection in Wedgewood blue and celery; a jacket in Bordeau from Raffinatti, or an espresso brown coat from Jobis. If you like living on fashion's edge, try window pane checks from Merlet or Drizzle's buffalo plaids. The overall look for coats this season is slimmer and trim mer. In keeping with this trend, the seven-eighths length coat is very important as evident in the Hilary Radley collection, as well as in Barrington's Private Label Designs. Barrington's is excited to introduce soft and supple goat suedes from New York designer Andrew Marc. "He's a designer who's into the edgy street look in a walk ing coat. And for a short, cropped fun look, be sure to look at his techno-nylon jackets," says Barrington. As far as designer's go, Montreal fur designer Zuki is anoth er one to watch. A world-renowned leader in the industry, he is often featured in Vogue and looked to for high fashion fun. His lightweight styles are unlined and can be reversed from fur to leather. The seventies retro look makes a comeback and will play a major role this season with long-haired shearlings. For a unique take on shearling, Dominic Bellissimo's diesel or dis tressed nappa finish is a great choice. With its shaded appear ance, part way between suede and leather, it actually gets bet ter with age! As for colour, these styles shine in stone, cognac, antique brown, olive and a delicious denim blue from Ramasport. City length shearling is a practical and graceful length that ends just above the calf. Smaller shoulders and sleeves mean a slightly closer fit to the body. Or, choose from duffle coats, hooded jackets and bam jackets, most of which are reversible. Since Barrington's is best known for its fur collections, it will not disappoint with its selection this season. Grooved, sculpted, carved, sheared and knit - never have the choices in fur been so varied. "The perceptions of wearing fur have changed. Not only is it for glamorous evenings, but can be worn for everyday fun and practicality. ^Coats and jackets have become increasingly lightweight and easy to wear," says Barrington. "Most styles are even reversible - you can go from sheared mink or beaver to nappa leather or silk poplin." Besides an amazing selection in almost every style, fabric and colour, Barrington's prides itself on its history and superi or customer service. "What sets us apart is our own hands-on customer service approach. My wife and I work in the business with a handful of staff who make sure quality is our number one priority," says Barrington. With a huge selection, even featuring petite and special orders, it's no wonder Barrington's has been a favoured choice for keeping out winter's chill for over 185 years.
