Fashionshy: Trying On Outer Coats

It's been awfully cold these days so I've been wearing a rather unattractive blue parka. I felt the need to go try out some coats... Sadly, West Coast Leather hadn't gotten back to me on the leather blazer that I inquired about, so it was time to try out alternatives!

I stuck my nose into the Nordstrom's. Promptly confronted by a dizzying array of women's products and clothes, I made my way to the top floor where the information desk was hidden, asked where the men's department was, and was told it was back on the first floor... I just hadn't gone past the escalators to see the other half. D'oh!

Mainly, it turns out that outerwear for men is sized large to super-large, so there were very few small jackets that I could try on.
