Jaeger in administration

[pseudonymity]

Very sad to read about this.

[flyingchick1]

Really sad too to hear this, one of the few remaining places that you could get decent quality workwear from. Going to miss their online outlet.,,,

[happypoobum]

oh no! I am about to return two jackets - I hope I get my money back as they were expensive...............

[GiantHulkHands]

Gutted! Love the jaeger outlet.

[WhisperingLoudly]

Really disappointing- great workwear

[herethereandeverywhere]

Damn it! Just discovered their quality...

[herecomesthsun]

Shame, but not surprising, given the amount of stuff they couldn't sell, going by said outlet.

[BerylStreep]

What a shame. I did think they were quite overpriced though, and only ever bought in the sale / outlet.

[Mumsnut]

I had a gift card knocking around and have just rushed to spend it. Superwide trousers - bit edgy for me but everything else was either extremely work centred or wacky. Nothing in between.

[mamado]

Ooh maybe I should buy that coat I've had my eye on! What is the sizing like? If the measurements looks like a perfect fit will that be adequate?

[Mumsnut]

Sizing is huge ime. I am a 16/18 and my last Jaeger coat was a 10!!

[mamado]

Wow! Thank you, I certainly won't order up!!

[Garnethair]

Such a shame.

[RubbishMantra]

I wondered, because the tiny local Jaeger shop suddenly became an "outlet for Jaeger".

[DailyMailFuckRightOff]

Gutted. I've had some lovely things from there.

[NinonDeLenclos]

I got all my mum's clothes there, major bummer.

[Lisa85000]

I think their stuff is a bit middle of the road. Expensive but not well cut enough to make it really worth the cash.

[Onecutefox]

I used to like Jaeger but they clothes have become a bit frumpy and expensive. Last time I was in there it was like 2015-2016 and their clothes looked for women over 50-60 only and quite formal.

[Onecutefox]

"their" clothes

[Bejazzled]

Real shame. Their recent 'laboratory' and Donna Ida collaboration pieces were lovely, harking back to the Jaeger Boutique days 🙁



Hopefully someone will buy them.

[Want2bSupermum]

They have two issues. Primarily their sizing. I'm big and a size 10 or a M. In coast I am a 16 and in Hobbs I am an 18. Their sizing excludes anyone who is size 12 and below.

Also, I thought they never went after the woman's workwear market. Their suits are great and women need suits more and more as younger generations rise up into management positions.

[simmonsbythesea]

I thought their sizing was generous. Outside of maybe financial and legal, (and even then not always) no-one wears suits in management or at any other level anymore. Tailored clothing maybe for business casual, but not suits and you can buy that at H&M nowadays.

Quite simply they never designed for new younger customers so as their core market got older and bought less, the bottom fell out. Jaeger Boutique was a good effort but they never continued it. A real shame as the quality for high street was great.

[caterpuller]

I've bought a few great things in their sales recently (new store opened near me last year) - but found much of it frumpy and middle-aged. The Donna Ida range was fab (leopard jumper, priscilla jeans with stars on) but even that was reduced frequently….not sure where they've gone wrong, such a shame.

[caterpuller]

bejazzled I think we have the same jeans

[iloveshortbread]

I am sad to see this happen too. Really good quality clothing - but overpriced. And yes, getting frumpier and the sizing is peculiar. But got married in a Jaeger suit.
