This is the second in a series of several entries regarding Wintry Ware.
Pardon the enormous image sizes, but I confess to showing off not only the ensembles, but my recently winterized lands as well. Please do come and visit; Syzygy is mostly open to public exploration and enjoyment. We have skating and… Falln’s legendary twisted snowmen…
This was my first winter purchase over two years ago, and at the time I was quite taken with the elegant fur coat and gloves. I must interject immediately and say that the gloves of this ensemble match very well with numerous other ensembles, making it one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe — especially during the winter season. As quality gloves are a rarity in SL, I urge anyone to pick up this creation.
As an aside, Darwin Mizser has the Fur Coat ensemble in the sale area rather than the main area, for a mere L$200.

As an older ensemble, and one of AVid’s first, it’s quite a bit different from the fantastical gothic creations of the last year. Unfortunately, I find the brass coloured coat buttons nigh impossible to match given my personal proclivities towards silver accoutrements. Moreover, the coat does not extend completely to the waist, which means one’s shirt will be visible above the trousers. However, it’s still a must have. And while you’re at AVid, I recommend the crimson/red Viktor.
I opted to wear AVid’s Silver Shirt (from the Striped silk shirts + waistcoat collection) and Midnight’s trousers beneath the fur coat. The silk shirts (which I also feel are a must to add to any virtual closet), can also be found the in above mentioned AVid sale area.

Despite the age, I do believe the coat and gloves are a must for a gentleman’s wardrobe… until something better comes along in the same vein. I do enjoy the fact that the fur is not overly fanciful (yes, this is me saying this), nor is it completely worn. Elegant and stylish — just the coat for winter climes.

Of course my passion for high and wide collars is quite noticeable. The coat bottom’s flexi works well — just a little stiff, as one would expect from this fabric. But the prim coat collar is very attractively styled.
Going to hell? Yes, we are… in a Junk ship, no less.
