The Primrose Cafe

Now here's a question that's been bothering me recently, what with
the cold weather and all.
Does anyone know why it is that women almost invariably sit down
before removing their coat?
It seems to me to make the act of taking it off much more difficult
and yet 90% of you do it this way - men never do, but they on the
other hand are far more reluctant to give up their coat to be looked
after.

Any theories gratefully received
