I once flew to NY in December on a whim when I was at college and had a big freelance payment burning at my fingertips. I travelled in a teeshirt and jeans and didn't take a bag, it was the thing to do to go with nothing, buy up Canal Street and that horrible Pier 22 or whatever its called then return home fuly laden.
It was the coldest winter on record for ages and there was a snow blizzard. I thought I would die. The taxi dropped me at Saks and I bought the warmest coat I could see. It was a black shiny RL Polo Sport puffer jacket with attached gloves and hood. It blew my budget pretty much, but that coat kept me alive for the week I was there. It was utterly weatherproof and I was toasty in subzero storms. I still have it now and its still in perfect condition despite being 17 years old now.
Moral of the story: Don't be thrifty when buying a coat.
