I have one and I'm not sure how I survived before it. They seem to be very popular right now, yes, but I wouldn't worry about "in." They're not glittery and covered with spikes - I think the design is fairly classic for most models.

It's not so much in or not when it comes to warmth... But I was just with an exceptionally lovely creature who was sporting a Canada goose parka... And I saw about 15 of those jackets at LGA... Your wife will be fine...

If I go outside. I haven't left my windows cracked in a very long time.

I hear that water is still falling out of the sky up around SanFran though.

Walking around Manhattan they are on every third person. It's almost laughable how many I see on a given day. If you're in a city, you're late to the party.

That being said, if you want a phenomenally warm coat with a bit more style for roughly the same price, look at Parajumpers. I think they look miles better and they're much more stylish - plus you don't see them very often. I bought one for my wife a couple of years ago and she still adores it.

For being active, I prefer a base layer, mid layer, and either a hard shell or soft shell...all Arcteryx.

If I'm doing stylish, then a Hugo wool overcoat over either a Ted Baker or Brooks jacket.
