I love the loft patagonia one in brown if money os no object. However the other patagonia one is nice too. I like brown rather than black personally. I think the shaping of the patagonia one would be very flattering.

North Face

The Patagonia is similar to a Lands End one.

Hate the North Face one for some reason- go for the other one!

talk to me about Lands End... I came across them in my search and was not horrified by their prices but some alarm in my head said "Lands end = Bad thing"

Remember I am not from this country and be kind on my ignorance, please

North face one or the expensive one that you had on another post.

landsend isn't v. cool but then you are buy and duvet with arms so have a look.

the north face and pategonia ones will be v. light and warm compared to cheaper affairs.

Lands End is for people of a certain age or those who prefer not to follow fashion. But although most of their things are deadly dull they do surprisingly have the odd (very odd!) gem of a coat.

Lands End is an American company with a British arm.

I think the Patagonia loft one in brown is the best and is a good fitted shape.

The problem with short jackets is that your bum freezes! I speak from experience of this!Also they look funny over long tops/jumpers.

TheBalladofGayTony · 15/09/2009 17:06

but don't you get too warm in the big duvet things?

Hmm, out of all of them I like the detachable dead animal one best (detached)

Far prefer this one though

LetThemEatCake · 15/09/2009 17:11

don't want a short one, want long - to cover post-natal arse.

One of the NF ones I linked to has no puff - acceptable??

Ah, OK.
Then go for the dead animal one.

oh do it!

I ordered a lands end one last year, and it was so warm, it just made me less afraid of winter. I wasn't all grouchy standing out side the school or walking into town. winter couldn't touch me in that coat.

why did i not do that years ago!?!?
