Can a man wear a womens pea coat?
Q. Hello, I am a 14 year old male, and I'm in the market for a nice pea coat. I've noticed on sites that the price between men and women's coats are wildly different, The men's is almost twice the price! I was wondering, how noticeable would it be if i got a womens pea coat and saved $70? Would people at school be able to notice that it is a feminine item? or would it simply go unnoticed?
Okay, thank you all for the answers, and i will definitely go for the men's.
Thanks! :)

A. Go with a men's peacoat. If you need to have it altered to fit you better, spend the money.
For one thing, the women's coat will button the opposite of the men's coat -- that'll be the first, most obvious giveaway, but there will probably be other elements in its tailoring that tip people off as well.
That having been said, a peacoat is a timeless, classy look.

what do you have stored away for emergencies?
Q. my brother and i got into a conversation on the topic of emergencies, like earthquakes, and if we have anything stored away. i eventually want to get a space just for that, to store things like batteries, flashlights, water and canned foods. what else should i store? what do you have stored away in your emergency closet?
pron? oh, you're a smart one, aren't you?

A. How long an emergency are you talking about preparing for? 2 days? 2 weeks? 2 months? 2 years?
It makes a difference. We have two years food storage in our pantry, for three adults, at a 5000 calorie a day diet. We can also purify our own drinking water, heat/cook with a wood stove, and we have our "living pantry" which includes a large garden, fruit/nut orchards, dairy goats, meat goats and sheep, chickens, etc.
I'm going to assume you want to get through a big crisis, in your local area (not nation-wide). You have to look at Hurricane Katrina for your example.
What is the primary need as a human being? The answer is air. You do not seem to be concerned about biological attack. As long as you don't live near volcanoes, air is probably a mute point.
Second most important need for humans? Water. You can store two months worth of water. You need 1 gallon per day, per person. This ONLY provides water for drinking and cooking. Not washing yourself, clothes, plates, etc. If you live in a hot climate, store more.
More importantly have ways to purify your own drinking water. We capture rainwater off our roof and purify it on a daily basis. Have several methods on hand. I HIGHLY recommend you purchase a Big Berkey. Have other methods as well. Do not purchase bottles of bleach, put them on the shelf, and forget about them, believing you will have the method to sterilize water forever. After about six months, bleach breaks down to little more than salt water. Old bleach will NOT provide you with safe clean water.
Humans third most important need is a tie. Shelter and heat (usually fire in an emergency situation). Both keep you in place and safe from moving around doing stupid things. It's also good for moral to have both shelter and fire. So a camping stove which runs on the white gas canisters is great for cooking (DO NOT USE INSIDE/carbon monoxide). A tent large enough for your entire family is also good. Remember if your house is damaged (like all the windows blown out), but still structurally safe, you can pitch the tent inside your house. Just clean up any glass, and pitch the tent. Everyone sleeping together will be safer and warmer.
Fire extinguishers, ultra important post disasters
Long burning candles
matches
LED head lamp flashlights. The batteries last a long time, and both your hands are free, since they are on your head. We use them all the time on our farm. They are cheap too, buy lots.
Food you can cook with little effort, which your family is use to. A crisis is NOT the time to spring dehydrated split pea soup on your family.
Any medications your family takes on a regular basis
Prescription eye glasses for anyone who wears glasses or contacts. I say glasses too, NOT more contacts. Glasses can be put on RIGHT NOW in an emergency.
Hand crank radio
Solar charger, for your cell phones
Good sturdy leather gloves for cleaning up dangerous debris.
Bicycles can get through most disasters if you have to leave your home. Plus you can lift them over things, unlike a larger motorcycle.
Copies of all documents to prove who you are, and what you owned (marriage, birth, insurance, social security, etc) You should also have a current list of phone numbers of all family/friends. If your cell phones dies you probably don't have those numbers memorized.
Rugged farm type jeans, boots, and coats.
Womens Kotex and pressure bandages (like ace bandages) so you can stop bleeding on a wound.
Wool blankets, wool retains 80% of its heat keeping abilities even soaking wet, and can be used to put someone out, if their clothes catch on fire. Modern synthetic blankets would melt to them, and make it much worse.
Tweezers, of many different sizes and shapes to pluck large objects like glass shards out, and really fine splinters.
I recommend Dr. Bronner's mint soap. It has natural antibacterial properties. You can wash yourself with it, brush your teeth with it, and wash your plates with it.
Have disposable plates and silverware on hand, so you don't need so much water.
Bottles of eyewash are very important.
Anti-diarrheal medication and pain relivers
Have children? Brand new coloring books, quiet games, and soft toys will go a long way toward their mental state.
Garbage bags. You can wear them as a poncho, and you will need a LOT of them, until garbage service picks back up.
Two really good can openers (in case one breaks, gets lost, ect)
If you want more ideas, send me an email, and I'll direct you to some very good food storage/emergency prep groups.

Definately get a black or dark grey. Dark colors are much easier to dress up or dress down for the occasion, also this style is very simple to go from day to night.
Oh and overstock.com is amazing. You cant find cheaper prices for new name brand clothing. Hope this helped!
