Including leather jackets, denim jackets, mac, winter, summer coats etc.

(Not counting suit jackets tho)

Starting to think I need to thin out, especially since I just saw a moth in one 😮

2. One thin waterproof and one warmer waterproof with a fleece.
Wow, you're obviously not cold blooded like me!

Even in bed, had hot lunch, dressing gown over my clothes-I'd wear my winter coat if it wouldn't ruin it...

Also wear hat, scarf , gloves and when v cold, biker under my shearling-but I am 42kg(was ballerina a long time ago)

Could not manage on what you have!xx

Rain jacket, winter coat, then about 7 old coats and jackets that no longer fit me but I hope will one day

fishykettles · 06/12/2020 15:16

I can only wear one coat at a time though! a warm winter fleece with a waterproof coat as a 2 in 1 does the job.

Four:

1 waterproof shell
1 light jacket
1 spring/autumn coat
1 winter coat

@fishykettles wow really impressed. I would really struggle not having at least a cardigan for when it is a little colder then I like, a light water proof coat, a spring/autumn coat that is warmer then a cardigan but not a boiling as a duffle coat, a lighter summer coat for the evenings in summer, a slightly warmer wool coat for the slightly warmer winter days and then a duffle coat for the days that are freezing

I have one quite lightweight but still warm coat.

One thicker Parka, and one suede biker style jacket to wear with dresses in the summer.

LakieLady · 06/12/2020 18:14

At least ten (wool mix winter coat, rarely worn except for funerals, warm raincoat, lightweight raincoat, 3/4 length duffel coat, biker jacket, 3/4 length Berghaus waterproof with detachable fleece lining, short white denim jacket, longer blue denim jacket, couple of lightweight waterproofs).

I wouldn't be altogether surprised if there were more, were I to go upstairs and rummage through the wardrobe.

I think I may have hoarding tendencies.

SockQueen · 06/12/2020 18:24

1 nice winter coat
2 fairly smart waterproofs
1 ski jacket (only wear in the UK if it snows).

Had no idea some had so many!

LakieLady · 06/12/2020 18:33

@Treefloof

Too many but not enough? One Canada goose hoody One Canada goose trench Both rarely worn now I am menopausal but too expensive to give away. 6 or so fleeces with and without hoods One wool coat also not worn currently. A Letterman from Harvard>>> too big but I dont care. One denim jacket. 3 anyone can wear big coats with hoods and waterproof and big pockets and lined etc, mostly used for dog walking/fishing kinda stuff.

Think that's all.

I'm very jealous, I have a real hankering for a Canada Goose full length coat, but I only have a Sea Salt budget.

The coat I like costs more than most of the cars I've owned.

Very, very many. The oldest being a mint cord wallis jacket from decades ago. Maybe 40 to 50, but accumulated over many years via eBay bargains. I hardly wear most of them, but like to stroke them when passing Grin

Member984815 · 06/12/2020 20:16

About 9

@Member984815

About 9
I used to only have 5 and thought that was enough..

Now I have 15 and Still want more...

I wish I could stop finding biker jackets-I have enough!xx

miimblemomble · 09/12/2020 05:07

Lol just 1 ! A multipurpose warm and waterproof one for winter. It’s smart-ish .

In my defence I live in France and for most of the year I don’t need a coat. I have a lot of big cardigans / mi-saison outer layers.
