Top 12 best banks to bank with | No fees, high yield savings, checking accounts, ATM refunds
Below is the list of 2014's top banks that provide some of the best high-interest-paying online accounts.
These accounts include high annual percentage yielding savings and checking accounts.
The list is followed by a comparison table, and below that we have provided links to the respective detailed overview pages of the selected "best banks of 2014".
We started out with a more comprehensive list of financial banking providers (large commercial banks, credit unions, regional banks, state banking institutions and other diversified banking firms).
How Much Do You Need to Retire - at any age, or at 55, 62 or 65?
After applying various ranking and comparison criteria (No fees: $0 monthly fees, $0 minimum balance, high yield savings or high yield checking accounts, ATM fee refunds, etc.), we were able to narrow the selection down to the 12 banks listed below.
Most of the banks on our list are able to provide such high yielding savings and checking accounts, and pay higher APYs because of their unique banking business model.
They don't operate many bank branches, don't hire nearly as many employees, rely heavily on automated online tools, and pass along some of those savings as additional interest to their depositors.

Make sure to also check out: Barclays Online Banking and Savings Review.
Barclays currently offers a 0.90% APY on its online savings account, which is a higher interest rate than what is offered by some of the banks on our list.
However, Barclays has not been included on our list, due to the consistently higher than average number of customer complaints.

** USAA is a popular bank serving our military and veterans. It did not make it to our top list of best banks offering high APYs, however, because it offers a lower APY compared to the banks on our list. Still, USAA provides exceptional value: No monthly service fees, nationwide ATM fee refunds, free funds transfers to any bank in the United States and tiered APY rates.
** Please note that any of the rates, promotions, fees, information, and ranking/review factors presented on this article may change at any time. Please review the respective bank's websites for the most updated information.

Key Variables Used in our Selection of the Best Banks Providing High Yielding Accounts
The below ranking selection factors were used in our analysis of the best banks to bank with.
1. Type of Account
High yield checking or savings? A high yield checking account comes with greater flexibility than a high yield savings account.
Banking regulations place limits on savings accounts. You are only allowed to make six free transfers / withdraws each statement cycle
2. High Yield APY (High yield paying checking / savings accounts)
The APY (Annual Percentage Yield) is the annual interest rate that the bank pays you.
Having as high a yield as possible is a high priority for most individuals.
3. ATM Fees Refund
Some of the best banks on our list will refund ATM fees, up to a particular amount.
This allows you to use any bank's ATM and get refunded the ATM fee that you are charged for using that other bank's ATM machine.
4. Monthly Fees
Only banks with $0 monthly fees have been included on our list of top banks.
5. Minimum Balance
Minimum balance that a bank requires you to keep in your account each month. Only banks with a $0 minimum have been included on our list.
6. Account Opening Deposit (Minimum $$$ to Open Account)
Initial deposit required by some banks when you open an account
7. Requirements
Most of the banks listed here require you to meet a few requirements in order to qualify for the high interest paying account. In addition, one or more of the top banks on our list only provide services to residents in a particular state or to individuals that are part of a group or affiliation
FDIC Insured
All the banks on our list are FDIC insured.
In the unlikely event that any of these banks would fail, the FDIC would step in and give you up to $250,000 per bank and per beneficiary for checking, savings and CD accounts.
The FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) is backed by the full faith of the US government, and the $250,000 is the maximum amount allowed by law at FDIC insured banks.
In addition to savings, checking and CD accounts, money market accounts and other types of demand deposits are also insured.
With a combination of accounts, it is possible for you and your family to increase the $250,000 maximum.
Here is an example of how a couple could raise the ceiling on the FDIC maximum:

Stacy Adams, owner of Chakra Spa, heads a team that specializes in chakra balancing and leads private yoga classes. Clients can relax as licensed massage therapists knead away tension and soothe backs with stones that aim to rebalance chakras. In private, low-lit chambers, therapists continue signature massages by ringing Tibetan crystal singing bowls, whose tones are said to remove energy obstructions and recalibrate the ears of struggling music producers. A tarot-card reading under a multicolored lotus painting concludes the signature package. Additionally, the spa exclusively uses Aveda creams and oils for all services. Accented with red orange and teal, the crisp, white lobby is adorned with candles, statues of famous varsity debaters, and flames nestled inside recesses in the wall.
A private hypnotherapy practice located in Atwater Village (Los Angeles). Providing hypnosis, guided imagery and kinesthetic visualism as tools to achieve personal goals.
If the mind can transform a rainy day's bowl of runny soup into a robust flagon of fresh winter borscht, there are few things it cannot achieve. Today's side deal honors your powerful noggin with a two-hour, one-on-one hypnotherapy session ($225 value) from the bad-habit busters at Mind Matters Restorative Hypnotherapy, plus a custom CD of your session ($20 value) for $110. Break down the toxic tension-building components of your mind while Lisa Hubler or Dale Jaffe spend up to an hour to identifying the negative factors influencing your unwanted feelings and behaviors. Then undergo real-life hypnotherapy for the rest of the session that will cleanse your psyche and leave you ready to take on the world free of such vices as smoking, poor eating habits, restless sleeping patterns, and a love of paint chips.
At Wheel of Wellbeing, experienced therapists and integrative medicine professionals team up to help patients balance their mind, body, and spirit. In order to strive toward that goal, their services range from hypnotherapy with certified hypnotherapist Meredith Locher to psychotherapy with Drs. Daniel Sadigh and Stan Friedman. Other popular treatments include acupuncture, massage therapy, and nutrition counseling. To get started, new patients can take Wheel of Wellbeing's free online life-balance test and post the graded copy to their fridges.
To Janet Montgomery, widely disparate problems such as smoking addiction, stress, and insomnia all have a common root cause—subconscious disharmony. With a range of hypnosis techniques, including guided imagery and neuro-linguistic programming, Janet supplants negative associations buried deep in the brain with positive messages that help her clients overcome bad habits or compulsive behaviors.
A member of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology, the founder of Core Natural Health Center, Arturo Mesquite, PhD, and his staff of clinical nutritionists and Chinese-medicine practitioners focus on improving clients' energy and emotional well-being through nutrition-counseling services and treatments. Dr. Arturo analyzes a number of bodily factors, including typical food intake, medical history, and the ability to walk a high wire while solving differential equations, to draft a personalized diet that works to improve health from within; meanwhile, a self-discovery program encourages the elimination of mental stresses and inhibitions.

PlayStation Plus subscribers get DC Universe beta
Coming soon for you PlayStation Plus subscribers is a free download of the beta for Sony Online Entertainment's newest MMO, DC Universe Online. It'll pop up on the PlayStation Plus section in the PlayStation Store. You'll be able to get all up in DC's universe as a hero or villan very soon. The PS Blog says that the exact timing hasn't been worked out yet, but they'll announce it there when they know more.
Speaking of the PS Blog, they have listed a bunch of other PlayStation Plus upcoming perks. The free games are nice. I'm more about the discounts on games I'm interested in. They say that the NEOGEO Station launch will see many discounted games for PS Plus subscribers. Maybe I should get up on this.

Jonathan Moffett's credits read like the dream resume of any musical child of the '70s and '80s.
In his 35-year career, the New Orleans drummer has backed The Jacksons (including Michael, Janet and Jermaine's solo tours), George Michael, Elton John and Madonna on her "Virgin," "Who's That Girl," and "Blonde Ambition" tours.
"Nobody tops Michael," Moffett said this week by phone from Raleigh, where "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour" had its opening night. "Production-wise and in terms of staging, props and magnitude, Michael always exceeded expectations."
Moffett – along with several other musicians who were gearing up to tour with Jackson's "This Is It" tour before his 2009 death – is part of the Cirque du Soliel tribute to the King of Pop, which returns to Time Warner Cable Arena Tuesday and Wednesday.
The show features Cirque-style acrobatics and Jackson-style dancing to a soundtrack that includes some of Jackson's biggest hits as well as lesser-known selections.
Moffett began working with the Jacksons in 1979, when he moved to L.A. at the behest of Jermaine. He quickly got noticed by other artists, who would see him on stage behind the elaborate sculptural drum rigs he designed and request him for their tours.
Despite his impressive resume, "Immortal" has been a new experience for Moffett.
"With Elton John and Madonna we had dancers, but we didn't have acrobats and contortionists," Moffett said. "It's interesting to see those aspects. No one was doing amazing feats."
"There's so much happening on stage you have to see the show three or four times before you'd see everything," he added.
Some might think revisiting Jackson's legacy would be difficult for Moffett, considering he worked with the pop star for 30 years. But the drummer didn't hesitate to accept the position with Cirque.
"Michael is so much in my heart and spirit," he said. "I was with him the night before he passed almost until 1 in the morning. He was a major part of my life. I feel like he's here with me ... (or) like he could come along any minute. ...
"But on a professional level, I know he'd want me to do the same thing I was doing before playing with him."

[UPDATE: Here's a FaceBook posting from June 20th, from a less-than-reliable-source, one that earlier stated that this job already would have been done by now, that I don't think you could find even if you searched for it, that's designed mostly to take credit for a "job well done" (as opposed to informing the affected public (most of whom don't even live in District Five)), that doesn't even mention the terms SFMTA or DPW, that I suppose is a kind of official notice.]
Earlier, I read this sign as Kezar Drive Closed From June 23rd to July 30th, so I was baffled as to why there was nothing posted online on this topic.
So now, after taking a photo and looking at it, I see that the closure is for just 11 scheduled days and only at night.

I'm still baffled as to why no SFGov entity has posted anything about this online, oh well.

[UPDATE: Busted by the SFPD November 29th, 2011: 22-year-old suspect Eduardo Shaparo Esquivel of South San Francisco.]
The SFPD is looking for help on this one:
"SFPD Seek Public's Assistance in Attempted Homicide Investigation
Posted Date: 11/25/2011
On November 24, 2011 at 2:45 AM, an attempted homicide occurred on the corner of 9th Ave/Geary. Prior to the incident the victim and suspect got into a physical altercation inside of a restaurant on the corner of 11th Ave/Geary in San Francisco. Both victim and suspect were eventually separated and left the restaurant. The victim then walked to a gas station located on 9th Ave/Geary. The suspect described as a mixed race or Latin male, 18-24 years old, with short black hair and a manicured beard was then seen getting into the pictured vehicle listed below and drove off.
The suspect then drove his vehicle, described as a black Mazda CX type SUV with possible front end damage, and twelve spoke sports rims into the gas station on 9th/Geary and intentionally struck the victim. The suspect fled the scene. Witnesses to the fight took photos of the suspect at the time of the fight. The victim received life threatening injuries due to being struck by the suspect vehicle.
San Francisco Police Criminal Investigations Unit is requesting the public's assistance in identifying the suspect in this attempted homicide. Witnesses or persons with information are asked to call the anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444 or "Text-a-Tip" at TIP411 from their cell phones. Please include "SFPD' in the beginning of the text message."
So here's your suspect:
And the Mazda vehicle looks like this:
Here's another stab at it:
And here's the 411 on the infamous J in the B at 11th Avenue:
"This IS the legendary Jack-n-the-Box of SF! That's right.. open 24 hours baby.. and with PARKING. Now if the SFPD were smart, they'd put a squad car here at midnight..because only after you've finished drinking your 5th pint does a couple of Jumbo Jack with extra mayo and with the burger drowned in ketchup actually sound tasty.
I remember when I used to come here late at night. It's like a rainbow coalition meeting. You have your clubbers, pub crawlers, homeless and 3rd shifters getting their Jack on. Since the inside is small we were all elbow to elbow forced into a temporary bonding moment that even would make Martin Luther King smile as he watched his dream come true.
But that dream was crushed as they have started to lock their doors after 10pm. That's right folks.. you are now limited to ordering through a walk-thru. If you haven't seen the walk-thru it's a contraption that relies on "The Cube" where you put your money through."
On It Goes in the Avenues…

I own (well, my brother does) the complete Viva La Bam series on DVD, and I can't really say its all that interesting. Sure its funny, and a bunch of guys are all making their lives a living hell while driving Bam's parents insane in the process.
Over all Viva La Bam is a so so series. Bam's Unholy Union on the other hand is a rip roaring good time.
As for Jackass, I've been in the hospital so much for breaking things and getting hurt (Since I was 18 months old, I've broken both my arms, my right leg twice, my nose at least 18 times, ribs, collar bone, crushed my eye socket and cracked my cheekbone) that I actually physically can't watch the show with out getting sick.

December 18, 2014
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- A federal judge has blocked Florida's controversial new law requiring that welfare applicants pass a drug test to receive benefits.
Judge Mary Scriven issued the temporary injunction Monday. The American Civil Liberties Union had filed a lawsuit against the state last month calling the law unconstitutional. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a 35-year-old Navy veteran and single father who is finishing his college degree.
Nearly 1,600 applicants have refused to take the test since it began in mid-July. They aren't required to explain why.
Applicants must pay $25 to $35 for the test and are reimbursed by the state if they pass.
The ACLU said Florida was the first to enact the law since Michigan tried more than a decade ago.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Mexican Space Agency to Have Its Base in Caribbean State
CANCUN, Mexico a** The headquarters of the Mexican Space Agency will be
built in the Caribbean state of Quintana Roo thanks to an investment of
$120 million made public on Tuesday by Gov. Felix Gonzalez Canto.
The Space Center will be built in Chetumal, the state capital, on the
border with Belize and Guatemala. At the site will be a launch pad, a
runway, an underwater training unit and the space museum.
The site was selected because of the similarities it has to the
environment at NASAa**s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, according to a
communique issued by the Quintana Roo government.
The state government held a meeting on the subject with Mexican astronaut
Jose Hernandez Moreno, who last year participated in a NASA space mission
on board the space shuttle Discovery.
State officials feel that the construction of the space center will
attract companies in the aerospace industry with resulting benefits for
the local economy and the creation of jobs.
The creation of the space agency was proposed by President Felipe Calderon
and approved by lawmakers, but the decision has not yet been published in
the official gazette. EFE

Yes, they're dastardly, flamboyant flim-flam artists.
Who understand just how free you are, when you get to make an honest living by being such flashy, panache-y culls. I love this.
That would be quite a show to see in person. I don't always agree with these two, but their shows and commentary will always make you stop and think. Thanks.
Thank you. That was thought provoking.
I have an Uncle who was stuck on an island in Japan for 2 weeks, bullets flying overhead, non-stop. He was 17 at the time and one of few in his unit to return alive. From time-to-time he has been haunted during his sleep by the memory of the dying crying out for their mothers. He came back, married my Aunt, raised 4 men and to this day believes that one of the things he fought for was free speech, including the "right" to burn the American flag. His point of view has always enlarged my own with regard to what can be understood to be the full expression of "freedom". Thank you Anchoress for linking to this. I intend to send it to my son, a Marine serving in the 5th fleet.
It appears that someone else has the same user name as me.
One of the most moving experiences I have had was retiring old and beat up flags, which is also done by burning.

I saw them in Las Vegas in January – well worth seeing. Very entertaining.
Some 20 yrs. ago I spent over a year stationed in Turkey. I ended my service there and came back to the States to out process. When I landed at DFW, I nearly kissed the ground. They were right about being overseas making you appreciate home.
We are so blessed to live in the United States because of our Founders foresight and the sacrifices of so many throughout our history. We are also spoiled because of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. We can say and do pretty much anything we want. We can burn the Flag, we can go to church with out fear of arrest, I can drive where ever I want without have government or a male family member's permission. Even with the economic problems and political confusion of the day, there is no other country I would live in or system of government I would live under.

Delicious low fat vegan version of this ever popular Greek dish. Delicious served with a crisp green salad and a few black Olives! The tomato sauce makes enough for two dishes, I usually freeze the other half. The Nutritional information is calculated for the whole amount of tomato sauce - not sure what it would be using the amount for this recipe - but it's less.

Precision Series™ Power Amplifiers
1,200 watts per channel at 2 ohms
Neutrik Speakon® output connectors allow use of heavy-gauge speaker wire for low-loss connections
Extremely low dynamic distortion ensures excellent sound quality
Three rack spaces
• 560 watts per channel at 8 ohms, 900 watts per channel at 4 ohms, 1,200 watts per channel at 2 ohms
• Neutrik Speakon® output connectors allow use of heavy-gauge speaker wire for low-loss connections
• Extremely low (<0.01%) dynamic distortion ensures excellent sound quality
• Three-year parts-and-labor warranty
The Electro-Voice P2000 Precision SeriesTM amplifier is a very-high-quality power amplifier designed to elicit maximum performance from any speaker system. Its ultralow distortion and powerful amplifiers ensure that program material will be amplified very accurately. Each channel of the P2000 delivers more than 500 watts continuous average power into 8 ohms, 800 watts into 4 ohms and 1,000 watts into 2 ohms over the full audio frequency range. In the bridge mode, the amplifier can deliver more than 1,600 watts into 8 ohms and 2,000 watts into 4 ohms at less than 1% THD. The power supply, with its large toroidal transformer,
gives the amplifier impressive headroom and current output.
The P2000 contains 32 high-power output devices
with 8,000 watts of dissipation capability.
These devices are protected from overheating
by four, three-speed, temperature-sensitive
fans. The fans are quiet enough to permit use of
the P2000 in noise-sensitive applications such
as recording studios and houses of worship.
The output devices are mounted to a massive, extruded-aluminum heat sink that is engineered to minimize thermal gradients and allow the amplifier to operate safely into low-impedance loads. The output devices have a maximum junction temperature of 200 °C (392 °F), so high operational temperatures present no problems. The output devices are mounted directly to the heat sink without mica insulators to ensure better dissipation of heat. Many electronic circuit innovations exist in the P2000. Among the most novel of these circuits is the Mirrored Frontend Power Supply BridgeTM. This design ensures complete symmetry for each bridged amplifier and both signal polarities, and eliminates asymmetrical rise and fall times. The Dual Differential Discrete TopologyTM is part of the front end of the amplifier and uses discrete electrical components instead of integrated circuits to help the P2000 achieve its phenomenally low distortion. The P2000 has sophisticated protection circuits that guard it and the load from problems. Protection circuits guard against overload, overtemperature, shorted outputs, radio-frequency interference and dc faults. The output devices are protected against damage from reverse feeding of electrical energy (back EMF) and are switched on via relays to avoid transients which could damage speakers.
The P2000 has built-in limiters to protect speakers
from the deleterious effects of amplifier
clipping. The limiter's action is governed by
very sophisticated input/output comparators
which have acoustically optimized time constants
to preserve the integrity of the source.
The limiter's time constants are switchable fast/
slow, so the limiter may be matched to the application for which the amplifier is being used.
The P2000 has built-in switchable high- and
low-cut filters. These filters attenuate infrasonic
and ultrahigh-frequency signals, preventing
them from being amplified; this allows more
effective use of the amplifier's power and adds
a measure of load protection. These filters are
switchable on/off for use in applications utilizing
frontend units (like crossovers or equalizers) which have these filters built-in. A multifunction display keeps the user informed of the operating status of the amplifier. Separate LED displays for each channel show power on, input signal, output signal, limiter on and protection active.
The P2000 has electronically balanced XLRtype input and output connectors that allow easy, problem-free connections and signal routing. The P2000 has an input routing switch that allows selection of either normal dualchannel operation, or parallel mono operation, which routes an input to both channels but still allows for independent level control. The P2000 also has a constant-gain option which allows the voltage gain to be fixed. This permits different amplifiers to be used in fixed installations without rebalancing, and ensures headroom is not wasted.
The P2000's professional Neutrik Speakon® output connectors provide a sturdy, reliable connection and allow use of heavy wire for lossfree signal transmission. There are separate output connectors for channels A and B, and for the bridge mode. The bridge-mode connector is sealed with a plastic cover to prevent connection errors.
To prevent ground loops from occurring, the P2000 is equipped with a ground-lift switch. When the amplifier is operated in a rack with units of different ground potential, the switch may be adjusted to eliminate hum. Calibrated, detented potentiometers on the front panel regulate the gain of the P2000. The panel nomenclature shows the amount of attenuation accurately. The P2000 also has a constant-gain option which, with input level controls full clockwise, provides a 26-dB voltage gain that is identical to that of all Electro-Voice Precision SeriesTM amplifiers in the constant-gain option, regardless of power rating. This makes it possible to exchange amplifiers of different power ratings without upsetting delivered sound pressure levels or spectral balances.
The Electro-Voice P2000 is the choice for serious, professional amplification applications which require optimum sound quality, speaker protection, and the ighest level of construction quality and long-term reliability.

I'm working tonight, so it will be some sort of chili in the crockpot. Not sure if I will do a green chile pork thing, which I should do to get some stuff used up, or just regular beef & bean chili. If I go pork, I think it will be meatloaf tomorrow, since the meat is thawed & I've had requests lately.

yeah - I was a bit worried as they were so cheap - until tonight I wasn't sure they would even turn on. But the unit i built into my panel runs the ssr and gets a good read from the probe - hopefully Saturday I will give the system its premier run through. .
they are stupid expensive though - I got a cn76020 model and a micromega controller - really pricey new - around 200. not sure why i got mine so cheap but I am happy so far.

The Sartorialist is in my town (Dallas, TX) today for his book signing. Ironically, I'm in his (New York, NY). I was disappointed I wouldn't be meeting Scott Schuman personally; however, my good friend Sara, who authors Pair Diem, amicably agreed to take my book along with hers to the signing. Thank you!
As a self-taught photographer, Scott has turned his expertise at The Sartorialist into a respected photography career. I picked up the beautifully produced, luxury limited-edition hardback aptly titled The Sartorialist. The size of the book was curious, lacking the sweeping visual impact most books featuring photography establish; however, Scott explains his influence in creating a lack of preciousness. These are some of my favorites.
"I hope that, as you look at the images in this book, rather than giving a look a 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down', you will focus on the elements that could inspire you...it's all about self expression. I rarely shoot a look where I love all the elements."

Pretty funny that most of the photos you picked are in my inspiration file already…

Memphis88—I haven't read many interviews with Scott other than his own book. At the moment, I haven't completely decided whether or not I will leave negative comments up. I am leaning towards not moderating whatsoever in order to keep the conversations open and honest.

Richard—I would have liked to have met you too along with Scott. Shooting some fun stuff up in NYC at the moment for the blog. I'll share later!

I'm bummed you couldn't have made it to the Dallas signing, I would have loved to meet you!

The pics that you chose to post are some of my all time favorites. Most of them I printed out the first time I saw them. Thanks for the highlights.

I have most of those pictures saved in a folder on my desktop that I keep sartorially inspiring pictures in. I wish all of his pictures were like this stuff. I've lost a lot of respect for the guy after reading interviews with him and when I discovered that he deletes any and all negative comments from his blog.

Dude all the way at the bottom right is my hero. What a badass.

Their suits are popping up everywhere these days. GQ sought out Ronen's advice on suit fit in their July issue earlier this year. He's the reason I chopped my chinos off at a 4" inseam. Ever since Parke & Ronen introduced their line of men's swimwear four years ago, they've staunchly stood by the fit and cut of their suits.

"Trying to launch a complete collection off the ground was one of my big mistakes. It's very expensive."
—Ronen Jehezkel
Their success in focusing on men's swimwear—and doing it very well, paved the way for recent forays into menswear. With Wall Street yuppies serving as their muse, the "dirty preppy" is a collection inspired by the financial shakedown fallout of unemployed investment bankers performing manuel labor in order to maintain their standards of living. Since they're broke, they're working in their preppy office clothes. The inspiration produces a more fitted silhouette in preppy fabrics like gingham, seersucker and broadcloth by employing cotton with a touch of spandex (97/3) and an enzyme wash. The result is some smart updates to southern classics. And they're in short supply too since their collections are limited runs.
This fall, they're off to the races as they mature their "dirty preppy" line in borrowing from the first jewel in the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred horse racing—the Kentucky Derby.

I love the way his shorts fit! (MB's fit very well too). http://affairwithmb.wordpress.com/

Michael—Look at wool duffle/toggle coats by Gloverall. Find it on eBay (used) or at Sierra Trading Company online (new). Gloverall is the best in the business, out of England. Buy it right the first time and you'll only have to buy it once.
Also, naval inspired peacoats (with the 6 buttons arranged in a two vertical rows) in wool or cotton. You'll probably want wool if you're in the Northeast during winter.

I must admit, I stumbled upon this blog accidentally and I am quite hooked. Your passion and knowledge is unparalled, and it is always nice to see things in my closet mentioned! I am just curious, but do you have any advice on a new coat style for the upcoming fall/winter?

Informative post…I'd like to say I'm pretty sartorially inclined and knowledgable, but I had never heard of this designer.

Julie—Stay tuned for the next two weeks. I'll be writing about some of my favorite women's options.

Fred…I absolutely love your blog! You can tell it is a sincere passion and the detail and thought you put into it is going to play very well into your success someday! Keep the great info coming…I always love to see the options for preppy women's clothing!
