It is not weird; I would just like to clarify that. I love coats, they are my passion. I have loved them since I was young. I love their long sleeves and open-down front. I love the way they smell and their luscious colors. I love the way they close, the way buttons or a zipper, or a belt or a hook-and-loop fastener do it to give warmth and protection to the body.
There are a lot of coats. Coats can be a frock coat, which was a style worn during the 19th
century and was a knee-length man’s coat. It can be a morning coat, or also called cutaway, which is a dress coat and can be used as a formal wear. Then coats can also be a tailcoat, a coat which came from a late 18th century and is now preserved today as a white tie and tails.
Other types of coats are the lounge coat, smoking jacket, just corps and my personal favorite, the dinner jacket. I even organize semi-formal parties so I can just wear my favorite dinner-jacket. But lately coats have had their bad days because of their use of animal fur. The animal rights activists have exposed the killing of animals just to make these luxurious coats which I find to be a rightful reason to protest about. They should stop killing animals just to make a coat.
John Galliano should stop keeping the furs flying at the Christian Dior’s winter show. Gisele
Bundchen should stop spearheading advertising campaigns for American fur companies and Sophie Ellis Bextor should tear down those posters where she clutches a skinned fox. These models, these celebrities, and all these designers are all giving coats a bad name. It is such a shame.In loving coats, in collecting coats I also have found something that looks good with them too: coat racks. So while I collect the best coats around, I also collect the best coat racks to compliment the garment. Coat racks, like coats, come in different sizes and shapes too; they can be made of maple, oak or cherry. Or they can be made of satin nickel or brass. Coat racks come in a variety of designs. There are the white coat racks, which come in satin nickel hooks, solid brass hooks, and peg racks that are white and narrow. The classic shaker peg racks which are available in maple, cherry, and oak.
The solid brass coat hooks, which also are available in maple, cherry, and oak rails and the
coat hooks of satin nickel which are available in double, single, as well as coat and hat hook
style. Satin nickel coat hooks come in maple, cherry, and oak rails as well. Now if the classic
dinner-jacket is my favorite type of coat, it would look marvelous hanging from a favorite coat rack type too: the mirror coat rack that is oval.
The oval mirror coat rack is a specially designed oval mirror that measures 10 inches in height and 19.5 inches in width. It is again available in maple, cherry and oak and has 4 matching wood pegs. And of course, which I think is very obvious; on an oval mirror coat rack is where I hang my dinner-jacket collections. Two of my favorite things, I just love it.
