Did some retail therapy today at our local Goodwill and found a sweet Woolrich "Saddle" Leather Collar-lined barn coat that fit like a glove! The canvas coat is heavy and in very good shape....already broken in and so comfy. I've never owned a "barn" coat before-wanted one for a long time and I only paid $5.99 for it!
Now all I have to do is find myself a barn-

Melody, you sound like me... a coat without a barn!! LOL!!!! What a terrific score you made at the Thrift store. Woolwich makes quality clothing and this coat will last a long time.

Melody...great find! I would have the same trouble as you...great barn coat and no barn.
And Barnes are impossible to find at Thrift Stores!! LOL Unless it is a picture of one.

ONE day...I am going back to the country and have myself a little red barn--and chickens----and a big garden...and lots of flowers...and an orchard----sorry I kind off drifted off the topic there!
