Golly Geox

Picture it: a winter wonderland. You pile on itchy woolen layers and an enormous coat and march outside the lodge. As you breathe in the fresh crisp air, for a moment you’re thrilled at being so cozy and warm. Then the sweating begins. Whether for walking down the street or ski weekends, Geox, known for their breathable sneakers and insanely comfortable dress shoes, presents a solution to the sweating blues with their new line of breathable coats. Their men’s Military Jacket not only dons special vents across each shoulder that stabilize body temperature, but the nylon and down number also happens to be affordable by winter coat standards and great looking (especially the styling hood). Their first L.A. store opening in Topanga Mall on October 11 will carry the jackets and full collection, followed by a Century City spot opening December 14th and a Beverly Hills outpost in March 2007. $185, NY: 575 Madison Ave. (212) 319-3310, L.A.: 6600 Topanga Canyon Blvd. (800) 992-GEOX, geox.com
