US Olympic Team Opening Ceremonies Coat

[LonePirate]

The long cream colored coat by Ralph Lauren worn by the US Olympic Team during the opening ceremonies caught my eye the moment I saw it. A perfect combination of look and function for me. I searched for it online and it has a $1,998 price tag to it and it was completely sold out. Definitely out of my budget even if it was in stock but it is one fine looking coat.

1. I dunno. I'm sort of tired of the Ralph Lauren

looks. I wish they’d open it up to other American designers. I really liked the Austrian and Czech outfits, as well as some of the others. China’s was the least interesting.

Don’t get me wrong. The white coats are nice, just not my favorite.

2. Czech outfits were fabulous. China looked like Walmart designed their outfits.

3. So true!

4. Did you notice China made the women and men wear a different color jacket?

I didn't see any other country which did that kind of gender specific dressing.

7. Yes, two different shiny blues.

Neither then men’s nor the women’s was cute.

8. Yes worst costumes in the parade.

5. The cream coats were interesting, but all I could think is how dirty they would get--especially

along the hems. I assume they were wool--beautiful, but they were really long and like I said, dirt-attracting.

6. They look really comfortable too

We didn’t watch the opening last night so we can watch as a family.

9. I love the coat but would love it even more in navy blue.

10. Agree. Won't take long until it'll need to be dry cleaned.

It is an attractive coat though.
