I did not realize how cold it was going to be today. I suppose my first sign should have been the frost covering my front lawn. But I really discovered the frigidity when I got in line to vote before the sun had fully risen this morning. I know they say we’re in global warming and everything, but there was nothing warm about that queue. Everyone in line was talking about how cold it was, with the lady behind me even saying that she knew it was time to get out her winter coat but could not get herself to do it just yet. Tell yourself it’s not cold and it won’t be cold. Or something.
Anyway, I’m not sure how Amazon coordinated with the weather, since they announced this deal at 3 a.m., but somehow on the coldest day of the year they announced a one-day-only deal on winter jackets. That’s what you call great timing. Perhaps that’s why Amazon is the most successful online retailer. So, today only, nearly 300 coats – men’s, women’s, boys’ and girls’ – are “up to 70 percent off.” As usual, when Amazon says something is “up to 70 percent off,” that actually means several items are discounted even more than that. You surely want to check out all 292 options, but I’ve highlighted some of the bargains that caught my eye:
GUESS Men’s Puffer Jacket on sale for $42.99
Tommy Hilfiger Men’s Barnes Single Breasted Walker Coat on sale for $109.99
Calvin Klein Men’s Double-Breasted Pea Coat on sale for $74.99
Kenneth Cole New York Men’s Down Jacket with Hood on sale for $59.99
Ben Sherman Men’s Packable Down Filled Shirt Jacket on sale for $57.99
Members Only Men’s Original Leather Iconic Racer Jacket on sale for $74.99
Kenneth Cole New York Men’s Wool Car Coat on sale for $63.99
Hart Schaffner Marx Men’s Spencer Cashmere-Blend Top Coat on sale for $149.99
Kenneth Cole New York Men’s Wool Car Coat on sale for $63.99
GUESS Men’s Duffle Coat with Hood on sale for $89.99
Tommy Hilfiger Men’s Smooth Lamb Touch Faux Leather Classic Laydown Collar James Dean on sale $53.99
GUESS Men’s Softshell Hooded Jacket on sale for $42.99
Kenneth Cole New York Men’s Wool-Blend Walker Coat on sale for $61.99
Cole Haan Men’s Modern Twill Car Coat on sale for $274.99
After combing through this deal several times over, I still am stunned that Amazon managed to pick the best day of the year to do this promotion. They’ve already expanded into the movie business; perhaps soon they’ll be aiming to put the Weather Channel out of business.
