Plus Size Travel Jacket - How can I look stylish and keep warm?

You need to know that April in San Francisco is COLD! The little jacket in your picture wouldn't even slow down the wind - you need something warm. On my first trip to San Francisco I thought all those little old ladies wearing fur coats, hats and gloves were just SO cute, so dressed up in the middle of a weekday, etc. An hour or so later I understood that cute/classy wasn't the issue - they were warm and I was shaking with cold. That trip was in April many years ago, but on every trip since I've been glad I wore warm clothing. Layers are a good idea, even in the summer.

I'm Mr. Coffeemate and it should be noted that we're from Minnesota so our notions of cold might be different than yours.

The seaming gives it shape. I recommend a warm, wooly wrap for layering in the evening. http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Leisureland-Brown-Wool-Yarn-Crocheted-Shawl/8448685/product.html?refccid=FZMIVYIWZGQZI4KGAVMPQPCVYI&searchidx=10.

Just looks like a lightweight raincoat to me... what do you wear at home during that kind of weather?

While brick-and-mortar Kohl's are terrible for plus size outerwear, the website's a little better and I've had some luck there. http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1436706/dana-buchman-trench-coat-womens-plus.jsp meets many of your criteria, but might be trenchier than you're looking for. Zappos might be worth a look, too. What's nice is they sometimes include the model's stats, so you know what to expect. http://www.zappos.com/roper-plus-size-pewter-fleece-barn-jacket-black http://www.zappos.com/roper-plus-size-bl-w-pewter-fleece-zip-up-jacket-black-2?zlfid=191&ref=pd_sims_v_1

But the print is too much - maybe I'm just shopping too early for a spring coat? Knowing Land's End, they usually come out with the same stuff in solids.
