My lovely son is autistic - hates being wet (we live in a very wet spot!)

He got hassle at college in part due to his mountain warehouse men’s hip length practical jacket 😳

im not made of money - is there a smart black waterproof jacket that I can get him? Will happily spend up to £100.

hes in a men’s size now

thanks

ps. Kids can be arseholes can’t they. Sorry swearing but I’m really mad. At least he told me and we can sort the jacket issue!

My DP has a North Face rain jacket - really good quality and North Face is a really good brand - quite well known and wouldn’t be ‘looked down upon’ - you can usually get them in the sale for £75. JD even have one at the moment for £50 but only in a men’s small and medium.

And sorry to hear your son is getting hassle. You’re right, some kids are shits!

I was going to say north face too

Go for Northface. Where we live at least that would be hard to pick on as every school / college kid wears it

North face it is

I’m annoyed at myself - what an idiot - I should have bought him a better jacket in the first place 😒

to be fair he loves the mountain warehouse one - it’s done it’s job well!!!!

Rohan are also fantastic

Have a look at what other lads his age are wearing.
DS18 pretty much never wears a coat, he does occasionally wear a North Face puffer style jacket.

Depends what cool means to him but Rains do nice waterproofs for men
