Default Shopping in Calgary

I will have one day to get myself an adequate coat, warm clothes before I
start work so don't have time to search around. So where do people suggest is the best area in Calgary to go for warm womens clothes, where there will be plenty of choice.

I would head for one of the big malls - Chinook, South Centre, Market Mall, Deerfoot mall or any of the others...

Which ever one is closest to you.

All of them have a fairly good range of shops so you should be able to get stuff that suits you and your budget and that you like.

Any mall that has an Eddie Bauer would work - big down event coming up too www.eddiebauer.com It's not all high end stuff either but the quality is fabulous and either better or on par with competitors such as North Face and Patagonia.

You could always get a cheaper coat to do you for the 1st year then wait for the sales at the end of the season too.
