@Olivier5,
You mean you WEAR the coat with the big shoulders? Kidding. I wear mine sometimes. At this point, I don't care what people think. I might even start a new 'old lady' fad.
The thrift shops in the west Los Angeles area would have some great buys, by virtue of there being some wealth in some sections of the area. Thus I have a Lanvin jacket with big shoulders, a Georgio Armani blazer with not quite so big shoulders, a St. Laurent coat, yep, big shoulders, and a long black wool coat by no one famous, with big shoulders. I paid around $20.00 each for them. Still have 'em, sometimes wear them. The cold season here is short.. and the clerks at my grocery store would think I lost my mind with that St. Laurent coat.
On the other hand, the other day I was going to the store, wearing my well loved korean jacket, with fancy gold stitching on the front of it. That one would have cost me, say, seven dollars when I got it at a thrift. Some guy, fiftyish, started walking faster to intercept me to tell me what a wonderful jacket I have.. hey, that's stylin'.
