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 😮

managedmis · 26/04/2019 20:10

2??!!?

pinkcardi · 26/04/2019 20:10

17 that are mine exclusively, and,

3 general household shared coats that I use

PhilTheSahd · 26/04/2019 20:11

2 I think, a lightweight waterproof one for when it's really wet, and a warm jacket that isn't so waterproof for when it's cold, if it's really cold or cold and wet then I wear both. But then they look good with everything and limited amount of clothes is one area that I strongly fit into the male steriotype!

huggybear · 26/04/2019 20:11

I have one rain coat, one wax heavy duty and one quilted and a gilet. No jackets. I can't fathom the need for so many 😂

Giggorata · 26/04/2019 20:12

Well over 25... and I’m bidding on one on eBay at the moment..no blush, shameless.

Harleyisme · 26/04/2019 20:12

One winter coat
One summer jacket

Sigh81 · 26/04/2019 20:13

Oh dear. I love coats. So...

Beige tweed cape
Green Ted Baker wrap coat
Vintage cobalt 50s princess coat
Vintage black 50s princess coat
Vintage teal 50s princess coat
Black All Saints city/masculine coat
J Crew beige trench
Didriksons parka (green)
Green joules tweed jacket
Brown Zara tweed jacket
White brocade cape, vintage 19 40s
Khaki BHS parka
Zara leopard print city coat
Mid green short jacket

That's pretty terrible but nowhere near as bad as I thought. I do actually wear them all every year! And coats are by far my biggest extravagance.

molemonkey · 26/04/2019 20:13

I have a 'thing's for coats/jackets in the same way people have them for bags and shoes!
I'd take a guess at around 25

troppibambini · 26/04/2019 20:13

I love coats and shoes.
I have far too many over 30 including blazers.

Akire · 26/04/2019 20:13

2 winter coat and rain coat

2018SoFarSoGreat · 26/04/2019 20:14

so, so many.

DH has more though - he is constantly on the hunt for the 'perfect jacket'

randomsabreuse · 26/04/2019 20:15

Smart wool coat black- near enough floor length.
Lighter smart coat - autumn/spring
Cream mid length wool - 2nd hand probably needs replacing as too big now have lost weight.
Waxed jacket

So 4 smart coats

1 neon pink running/cycling jacket

1 cheap ski jacket for general winter.
1 Aldi jacket which fits baby wearing panel

Various waterproofs.

Long waterproof with knackered zip.

Proper ski jacket.

None of these count... obviously ... because they are purely functional items.

I really want a down coat for winter.

Anyway DH has more coats than me although none are properly smart.

Summersunsareglowing · 26/04/2019 20:15

About 30. I definitely need to have a sort out.

Homemadearmy · 26/04/2019 20:17

2, a rain coat and winter jacket

Lungelady · 26/04/2019 20:18

About 25

LaCastafiore · 26/04/2019 20:19

No idea, just for winter need at least half a dozen wool coats, couple of ski jackets, 3-in-1 waterproofs,
then mid-season coats and jackets, summer jackets.

I buy as I need them, so quite a few.

SellFridges · 26/04/2019 20:19

Erm. I never think I have many. But...

North Face parka
North Face jacket
Dark pink car coat
Light pink car coat
Blue smart coat
Navy parka
Running jacket
Blue Joules raincoat
Green Joules jacket
Denim jacket
Gilet

Is that a lot? I have four blazers too.

Zoflorabore · 26/04/2019 20:23

Around 30-35 I think and I still haven't found
"The one"

17CherryTreeLane · 26/04/2019 20:24

16, but it's not nearly enough. You can never have too many coats!

Beeziekn33ze · 26/04/2019 20:25

7, the oldest 30 years old, the newest about 10 years old. Two from charity shops, the others from sales so none full price.

CherryPavlova · 26/04/2019 20:33

A few activity specific - sailing, waterproof for hiking etc.
A few different weight ancient dog walking coats.
A few everyday Boden type coats
A couple of evening coats.
