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 😮

Potterhead1985, sports jackets? Who are you? Jeremy Clarkson?

multivac · 26/04/2019 23:33

Um... more than I think, I expect

Black pea coat (gifted)
Indigo denim jacket
Fake suede/fur thing in maroon (charity shop)
Swedish army coat (essential for football season)
waterproof/fleece combo
Warm fluffy lined hoody thing
Burberry mac (inherited)
Trenchcoat style mac thingy (inherited, would be good with nothing underneath)

That's about it. I don't have the coat in this picture. But I so wish I did.

Bluesrunthegame · 27/04/2019 00:35

Too many and none are right for more than one occasion.

I just can't get coats right.

Butchyrestingface · 27/04/2019 00:37
  1. The bag collection is nearer 30. The shoe collection is off the charts.
englishdictionary · 27/04/2019 00:40

None. I never wear a coat.

Three that actually fit.

steff13 · 27/04/2019 01:46

I have 7, but they are each for a specific circumstance, i.e., a black cashmere coat for dressy occasions, a waterproof down coat for the snow, etc.

HerRoyalNotness · 27/04/2019 01:47

About 20-30. And I live somewhere I only get to wear a coat about 4 days a year Sad

DelphiniumBlue · 27/04/2019 01:57

What about wool biker style? Is that a jacket or a cardigan( and therefore not included?) What about hoodies? Or poncho / wraps? Coatigans? I have all these but 2 actual coa ts, and about 4 or 5 jackets. Also a few old fleeces, and a couple of waterproofs.

6 gilets

Cheapest were about 20 quid from Uniqlo, up to a few grand for the priciest.

DW has a shitload.

mrbob · 27/04/2019 03:50
  1. A winter one which rarely gets brought out and a rain jacket. But I live in Australia so maybe doesn’t count. I only put proper shoes on (except for work) for 3 months of the year
Xeroxarama · 27/04/2019 04:09

19 counting summer jackets. All in wear though some very occasionally but I’d miss them. I can’t do capsule!

MonsterKidz · 27/04/2019 04:09

9

Although 2 I haven’t worn for a few years and I think it’s time to pass them on.

I used to have a lot more but have been trying to thin things out and limit what I buy in recent times.

hipslikecinderella · 27/04/2019 04:34

(Small) charity shop bag prepped for tomorrow! Only three are leaving me for now!
