I have found the perfect raincoat

[rootypig]

Ok it's spring but I don't care. I am wearing it to eat ice cream in the park.

The Stutterheim Stockholm

[rootypig]

Well noone on MN cares, apparently, but it has been on several outings now and is much admired!

[HaymitchAbarnathy]

It's very nice and if I had 200 quid spare for a raincoat is definitely consider it!

[mothermirth]

rootypig I love it.

Please share which size you bought, and what size you are.

[Marylou2]

Not sure if the link is working for me. It links to an alarming looking bearded man. Is that the one?

[rootypig]

mother I got XXS in orange, it is beautiful, bright but not neon. I am 5'4" and size 10.

Ha Marylou scroll down!

[Marylou2]

Oooh much better! Very nice! .

[fairylightsintheloft]

lovely but £200 is a LOT

[FrugalFashionista]

Rooty I love your coat. I'd buy one in camo print in a heartbeat if I didn't already have a couple of great ones...

[rootypig]

I know it's a lot

But I'm a single parent to toddler so spend a lot of time in the rain. And have been out in the evening I think twice in the last year sad. And this is the only coat i've bought this winter. And it should last a lifetime.

[FrugalFashionista]

Rooty a good raincoat is really worth it if you live in a rainy place. I often wonder why we own any sandals or summer dresses - a good raincoat needs no further justification. I have several and they get worn a lot more than most of my other clothes...

[bishboschone]

Is it a mens coat? Doesn't that make it a bit boxy?

[rootypig]

It's unisex with a straight cut, the XXS fits me perfectly across the shoulder seams, which I think is key bish. It doesn't look boxy on me got no breasts, is also perfect length, just below bum.

Thanks frugal, I do think I'll wear the nuts out of it
And not inwardly groaning at every rainy day and being old and wet has to be worth it, right?

[rootypig]

*cold. Though also old.

[bishboschone]

I bought a Didrikson recently as I was fed up of being wet so I get why you bought it ..

[mothermirth]

Thank you rooty. Trying to keep my hands off my wallet now I love it, but I already have one I like so I shouldn't even though I live in one of the rainiest parts of the UK …or should I?

[rootypig]

you should if you can afford it! it is the cheeriest object I have seen in years, and the reactions to it are amazing!

[SauceForTheGander]

I love them. Have seen before and nearly ordered but worried about sizing

I'm going for Isle Jacobthingy instead

[rootypig]

The have UK stockists Sauce, def Birmingham and London if you're in/ near either. Or if you're near Oxford you can try mine on

[SauceForTheGander]

Oh Rooty I wish I was. I'd bring the biscuits and coffee and admire your raincoat

[rootypig]

[SauceForTheGander]

what do you think

I'd prefer dark navy or military green

[GiniCooper]

I want a cape now after looking at that link OP.

Nananananananananana BATMAN!
Of course, I wouldn't actually say it aloud, just in my head and swoosh around a lot.

[rootypig]

Lovely! Showerproof though - is this sufficient for Britain's eternal monsoon? Or is this just a description they have to adhere to if it's not military grade?

I cannot see the colour options you mention div

[rootypig]

Oooh good more admirers for my coat
