Whom You Know Congratulates Phil Mickelson but we still say this is the Ultimate Green Jacket this Spring: Twill Trench By Talbot's!

Congratulations Phil Mickelson!  We think you should buy your wife one of these!

Our original coverage:

The sun may be shining in Manhattan today, but this warm weather is just a tease and as we believe in being super-prepared, we are thinking about those April showers around the corner.  We don't want to be caught in the cold or the rain, and you won't be either if you are sporting the stunning Twill Trench by Talbot's.  Peachy Deegan just loves the new looks at Talbot'sand the Twill Trench is sharp, beautiful, and worthy of a place in your coat closet, if you ever take it off!  (Peachy is wearing hers now, even in the sunshine.)  It is so versatile and would look amazing over either a cocktail dress or your Saturday jeans.

Whom You Know cannot get enough of the new look at Talbots: it is fresh, it is timeless, and it is quality.  This is not your grandmother's Talbot's!  We highly recommend the Twill Trench and we love it most in what we declare the color of the season: Viridian Green.  Green is stunning on us all, and that is not just Earthy Peachy or Take a Trip to Ireland talking- it is the voice of Fashion from Seventh Avenue in Manhattan.  The Twill Trench is also available in Gypsy Rose, Flare Red, Daffodil Yellow, Blue Stone, Clay, and Black. What would spring be without the perfect, classic trench? In vibrant hues that lend a cheery feel to the grayest of days. Back length: M36"; P34"; W38". Cotton/ polyester. Dry clean. Imported.  It is absolutely comfortable.   We love how the side pockets are vertical which is flattering to everyone.  The collar is stiff enough to stand up-we like that look- but it looks great down too if you like it that way.  The Twill is super-soft and the buttons are covered in the same fabric so they match perfectly.  The cut is amazing and doesn't make you look frumpy which is VERY DIFFICULT to find in the world of trenchcoats.  Talbot's cut is flattering and makes you look your best.  To help you out, we posted Talbot's sizing chart below; it is true to form for measurements.  We love the little gold chain in the back of the collar which is perfect for hanging it up.  The epaulettes on the shoulders and the buckles around the cuffs tie in the whole look adding polish to a piece that is just fabulous.  Best of all, when we wear this to our Peachy's Picks reviews we noticed the belt expands; it is generously notched as it fits us on the smallest when we are not reviewing food.  If Grampy thought Grammy spent a lot of money at Talbot's decades ago, he would shudder to see what she'd spend now!  The looks are the best of the spring in the fashion world and you should go see them for yourself.

Peachy Deegan cannot wait to wear this to the upcoming taping of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon which she is going to - we know Jimmy loves to wear green too.  Last time we saw him he was honored by the American Ireland Fund:
