Can I just say how much I luuurrrve my Boden coat?

[Clary]

Prob pointless as I bet it's out of stock but I do love it. Have been wearing it now for about a month (I bought it in August I think ) instead of normal winter coat and it is so nice.

Cosy but not heavy or hot, waterproof (I think) plus hood if really pouring.

Whenever I wear it someone admires it (this is v unusual for me). In fact today someone liked it so much that she asked me where I got it, ("Boden, what's that then?" clearly not a MN-er) and tried it on too (we were at an event, not passing strangers in the street I hasten to add).

It's this one in the mad purple flower colour (ah yes I see that one now is out of stock! when in Aug it was the only one available) oh it is top.

I also have seen almost no-one wearing it which is always a bonus with a (ahem) noticeable garment like this.

it looks very ...er...practical for this wet weather.

Very very nice, I always get soooo bored or seeing women in Barbours, Barbour copies or mountaineering macs when it rains.....I have a long red raincoat that I designed to wear when I was pregnant...now it looks like a tent.

I saw a woman in Waitrose with a similar coat on Saturday except hers was circles and she had (Boden) flowery style wellies- she looked like an over-sized child.

PP How rude!

snort @ purple

[purplepeony]

sorry- but I just thought she looked ridiculous- it just screamed "Boden" in the worst possible way. It didn't help that she was large-ish too- size 14-16 I'd say.

I wanted to point her in the direction of Cbeebies.

god i haet the purple BUT I LOVE THE URBAN MAC

i am so with you , the cut of my black one is great and its so good for all this rain we have had

I dont like the colour or the pattern, its like something my 6 yr neice would wear

There are some mummy's at school with that coat and they all look (to me, but I'm very objective) like they're trying to dress like their kids.

OP I think you probably look gorgeous, since when did large bold floral prints become children only?? It would be a yes yes yes, in this house.

Ahh dandruff I knew you had it.

See I don't wear black but I wanted a plain one really. Just didn't dare go for the orange. A nice rich raspberry maybe or a bright bluey-purple? (Mr B please note).

Glad you all think I look so young

My kids btw wear plain coats as a rule
