How many coats do you own?

[hipslikecinderella]

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 😮

Ermm...
Primaloft coat, warm, comfy, no hood (2007)
Thick lined waterproof coat (recent. It took a long time to find a good one)
Waterproof jacket/ fleece 3 in 1
Light cag in a bag (aged 10 from travelling)
Thin down jacket with hood. Good for sports in cold conditions or cool days not requiring a heavier coat.
Soft shell, no hood, better in damp weather than the down.
Breathable, shower resistant running jacket.
2 smart coats, both aged 10+... probably closer to 15, didn't Mexx go bust a decade ago??? Rarely used at present due to not working and lack of formal occasions.
3 lighter cord/ denim/ linen jackets for summer. The new one is 9 years old one was bought about 19-20 years ago when I went to uni. Another is my oldest garment in use and is about 25 as it was bought around the time I stopped growing as a teenager. Perfect for summery days when you want to keep a slightly sharp breeze off, it still looks fresh and is a classic cut.
I've still got a velvet formal coat from 1996. Largely redundant, but I'm very fond of it and it's a style that cycles in and out of fashion.

There is also the fleece coat from my 16th birthday which is my painting/ decorating coat, and my "car coat" which is my duffel coat from student days that began to look worn and permanently lives in the car for emergency use. Invaluable after breaking down in snow showers, lengthy motorway delays and breaking down on a day when it was mild enough to not need a coat for a few minutes outside at work, but too fresh for waiting for the AA in a layby!

They do all serve different purposes as I'm outside and walk a lot and do outdoor sports in all weathers as well as some more formal items. They don't tend to date easily or age too much so last much longer than items like jeans and tops that wear out or change cut more quickly.

3 - a raincoat, my everyday winter coat (short and suitable for cycling) and my 'good' winter coat (long, red wool and definitely not suitable for cycling)

Some of you have loads! Where do you keep them all??

11/12 off the top of my head

I stopped counting when I got to 35, I love coats, nearly as much as shoes.

How many do you have OP ?

About 30!

5

3

One winter coat
One rain mac
One light fleece jacket

8 but if you include hoodie "coats" 10

But all of them combined cost less than £100 as they are 2nd hand from charity shops or eBay and have been bought over the last 15-20 years.

(except one which was a Christmas present but I think it was around £40/£50)

6
Waterproof for walking
Running jacket

I’m not counting fleeces

1 camel leather

24 and counting sure there are more. I keep my wool ones on a rail inside garment bags, some are on the back of the door hanging and that's where I found a moth today. On a polyester coat though so weird.

About 20 here too. Don’t get me started on shoes...

I have quite a few if you include leather jackets, denim jackets, etc. But many have been charity shop purchases or ones I have had for a long time.

To the person who said they have been unable to afford a coat since 2004 - could you not try to pick up a second hand one? You could pick up a good one for less than £10.

Aargh, too many but I spend a lot of times outside so I think they are as important as dresses:
Black North face parka for freezing winters
Green M&S parka for slightly warmer days
Navy waterproof raincoat
Formal navy Mac
Turquoise woollen coat from Sainsbury's
Lazy jacks fuchsia anorak
Posh tangerine woollen coat for weddings, christenings
Black leather jacket

Faux leather collarless jacket in French navy
Faux leather cream jacket
North Face cream anorak
Black Musto sailing jacket
Black slim fit raincoat
Purple M&S puffa jacket

One for skiing / snowboarding.

One for everyday wear.

I could do with a new smart coat though.

10 but I i only like 7 of them

A denim jacket.
A black blazer.
A black wool mix coat.
A gilet.
