I quite like it. I would stupidly be put off anything described as jazzy, but I probably wouldn't want to wait 5 weeks for it as I would want it ASAP if I really did want it

How about this

That cow print one is just like a waterproof coat my dd had when she was little with a matching umbrella!
Sometimes with Boden you don't have to wait as long as it says you will.

dexter!

I got this one from Boden. It is lovely. I got it when it was 20% off day though.

I think that model looks amazing in the coat but I do think its more about the model rather than the coat. Try to imagine the coat on someone without the cheekbones and I think it has a whiff of Bet Lynch about it unfortunately.

Sorry forgot to say am not keen on animal prints tbh, although am sure it would look ok on (if you look like the model in the pic).

My friend has that brown Boden coat and it looks lovely on her - I am dead jealous!

Agree with preggers.

I'd be worried people would look at each other and then silently moo to each other when I turned my back.

But then I'm dealing with the paranoia day by day

Ooooh I like Egg's coat. Have never bought from Boden before but am very seriously tempted by that.

But the animal ones are a bit....scary.
