Can you help me with questions my daughter has about leather coats?

My daughter is a college student in New York City, and she wants a leather coat. She specifically asked me what brands are good ones. I only know enough about leather coats to say that you should never buy a cheap one. I explained I bought one for myself years ago at Eddie Bauer because it’s a retailer I trust. I am always satisfied with the quality of their products.

I do not know what length (half, three-quarters, or full length) she wants. I’m waiting on an answer to that question.

She’s been shopping at some of the higher-end consignment shops in Manhattan and has seen some things she thought looked OK.

I do not know if she wants it to be fully insulated or simply lined. I’ve asked for clarification

She’s mostly concerned with quality, and she’s a student, so price is a concern.

Any information is helpful.

Has it been a long autumn? Why does everyone seem to be in the market for a new coat today?
