It's winter and it's cold - Time for a coat. This is easier said than done when you're a guy. I've been looking for a suitable coat for some time, with no joy, while the girls have plenty of choice when it comes to winter fashion, it seems that we boys are limited to a handful of options at ridiculous prices. During my search for a winter coat I have realised there are a fair few preconceptions when in comes to us guys, the first is that they think we are all shaped like an oil drum. 9 out of the 10 coats I have tried appear to have been tailored for beer kegs, it seems the word "cut" means absolutely nothing when it comes to winter coats for guys. The second thing I have found is that they assume us guys don't want choice when it comes to our winter coats - I must have seen 100 plus coats for girls, but just 10 for guys. The last and the most annoying thing I have discovered is that there is a "man tax" on winter coats, I kid you not! I have seen coats for girls ranging from as little as $20, the cheapest winter coat I saw for a guy was $199 - what do I say? Tough luck to us boys, we just have to suck it up. But don't worry, revenge is just around the corner - we'll wear the same T-shirt all summer while the girls will be spending hard earned cash on countless outfits ;-)
