Boden - does anyone buy Jonnie B clothes for themselves?

[hazelnutlatte]

And if so, how is the sizing? Is the quality the same as the rest of Boden?
I've noticed that the Jonnie b range is quite a bit cheaper than the women's range but some of the clothes are pretty similar so I thought I might try and see if I can fit into clothes designed for teenagers - can anyone tell me what size I want if I'm usually a size 10? And would anyone notice or care that I was wearing childrens clothes at the age of 34?

I buy for my DC - would not fit me. I have noticed though that the reviews are often from adults who have bought for themselves rather than for their children. The reviews might give you an idea of sizing. I did buy some sandals from there once as they go up to 6. I thought they were a little narrower than normal but may just have been the particular sandals. A friend ordered size 5 boots and said she thought they were narrower around the calves than adult range.
Childrens clothes are exempt from VAT whereas adult clothes are not. I do not know if they treat the Johnnie B range as childrens clothes. If they are I guess HMRC might challenge it if lots of normal sized adults are buying from there.

I'm a large size 12 and buy some of the Johnnie B topsin a size 16+. I've found the quality excellent.. Only children's clothes that fit an 'average' 14 year old are vat free.

I do occasionally. I'm a 10 and find the 15-16 size to be plenty big enough.

Same as flowery, I've bought the johnnie b boat neck breton in size 15-16. I'm a 10 and it's spot on.

Cheers - as soon as they send me a 20% off code I'm buying a coat, pj's and maybe some skinny jeans

[daimbardiva]

I buy from johnnie b. I am 5'11" and size 14 and the 16+ size fits well. I get a smug thrill from being able to buy from a teenage range. The jeans are v low slung though.

[GobblersKnob]

I do, their jeans are much nicer than regular Boden, I also have a few tops, jackets and a coat. I am a 10-12 and fit either a 15-16 or a 16+ depending on the cut (am quite large of nork). 1 also have lots of pj bottoms which are often criminally cheap in the sale and a better cut than the women's ones.
