If you've spent any number of years in the Bay Area, you know that it's a rare day when you don't need a jacket. But it's also not uncommon to get by with a rather light wrap on those magically warm days that can happen in the middle of January. On other days, you need a down parka. Bottom line is you have to be ready for anything in San Francisco—sartorially and otherwise. We may not be able to help out much with the otherwise, but this map of the best places to buy jackets and coats—listed from north to south—will help out with the outerwear needs in your life. And when you live in a place with such stubbornly fickle weather, that's a pretty good start.
