I've been looking for a Long Coat, Male, Black, non-Leather, non-Wool, length going down to mid-shin. But every time I find a good one, good fabric, good weight, size, it ends up being a Women's Coat, and it's the badass appearance I'm going for.
Something like that, but that's more of a Duster. I'm looking for more of a columbine type look I guess.

Why do people have a problem with black women wanting to fix themselves up?

Cara M

People worry too much about black women dying their hair, fixing their hair, eyebrows, getting weave, and applying makeup, but you never hear people tell white women to stop coating all of that crap they put on their face because they're "naturally beautiful". It's like people want black women to look the same and not take care of their looks. If I want to look nice by straightening my hair, that's my business. I don't hate being black, I just like looking nice.

Answer
That's fine... If you think you "look better" by straightening your hair, it IS your business. But it's not objectively "nicer" to have straight hair. (Funny, people with straight hair get curly perms, and people with curly hair get straight perms.)

How do you darken a leather coat?

women coat image

Dani

Okay, I know you can buy dye, but how much would you use for a womans small longer coat? Or how do you get stains out without going to a dry cleaner? Mine, which is the only one around, charges
$75. Oh and where can I buy some dye?

Answer
If it is smooth leather, you will not really be able to get too much difference in color. Dye will not cover stains in leather either. You will really be wasting your time trying at home with leather products and no experience. It is up to you to decide if you want a pro to do it but if you try yourself, and ruin it you may think differently in the future.

How do you help a woman with her coat?

vivi

How is a man properly supposed to hold a woman's coat, to help her put it on? Does he hold it low, or high, when behind her?

Answer
Well, he doesn't say, 'here's your coat', and throw it at her. He stands behind her, hold the coat at the collar at collar height, and places the left arm of the coat ready for the woman to insert her left arm. Then he fucuses on the right arm to get it ready for her to place her right arm into it. He also has her scarf on his left arm, which he will reach for with his right arm and proffer, if she has a scarf. The reason for starting with the left arm is that more people are right-handed, and the man has to have the right arm available to guide the coat, so the scarf will be on the left, or less used, arm.

How can I tell if a Double Breasted Coat is for men or women.?

Where and how can I sell light coats and jackets I designed?

I have a large amount of nice women's light coats and jackets I designed with excellent quality fabrics. Where and how can I sell them?

Answer
Depending on your goals, the eBay and Craigslist route would be a viable way for a 'kitchen table' operation, which means you'd likely want to keep your day job. If your aspirations are greater, you want to get into the licensing or mass production game.

There are a number of start-ups that are going after the market of creative product people as sources, and putting them with various manufacturers in China, India, Vietnam, etc. (known as 'B2B' for "Business to Business"). One such firm is www.b2x.com, who, in addition to their internet business, are also trying to build their own mass market brand. Another source for building manufacturing contacts is Alibaba.com

Given the dynamic economic conditions, this landscape will be in a state of flux for a long while, so you need to keep developing suppliers and buyers. If your stuff is really good, you should try to find an agent at ICM or CAA to connect you with a new pop diva or some other up-and-comer who wants to build their own clothing line.

Regardless of your goals, start small by selling to friends (and friends of friends) and let word of mouth develop while you are doing research and networking for the larger market. It's an extremely competitive space, so try to find your 'hook' (a.k.a. "USP" for "Unique Selling Proposition"). Good luck!

I have a friend who I'll call "Bob" Bob recently went out, and to my surprise, bought a womans fur coat. He has been wearing it himself. Would you consider this transvestite? The coat resembles this one: http://www.purpleshoshana.com/results/details.asp?pc=1883
I realise that some people are anti-fur, but that is irrelevant to the question, so please do not bother telling me that fur is evil.
