A north face duvet type.

I love it so much I well up thinking about it.

I cannot justify £220 for it though.

I am very sad.

Come on cervix- what are you, a man or a mouse?

That coat might last you a life time- and if you believe all that 50p a wear shit thats jolly good value

Of course we might all hate it in which case IGNORE

Get a coat from GAP (30% off week again) and a fleece to wear under it....move on.

I'm sure the S&B mob can find you something attractive for 75 quid, and unless you are actually planning to go to the Arctic you do not actually require North Face.

Mind you the bracing tone of that response has made me feel chilly.

Well now you're just being ridiculous

You can't afford boots

well, it's not exactly pretty, but it'll keep you warm, and when it snows, fuck pretty, I want to be warm. If you can get cost per wear of anything below £5, I say go for it.
