If your Dh owned this coat, would you make it mysteriously ‘Disappear’

[Cantbearsedwiththosepeskyelves]

I hate it!

He has lots of lovely clothes, new coat this winter, but always pulls this horror out. A hillbilly, scruffy, donkey jacket.
I realise it’s up to him what he wants to wear and he’s a grown man and it would be wrong for it to mysteriously‘Disappear’

But…would you make this coat mysteriously disappear?

Wtf. You got rid of something your husband specifically said he wanted to keep because it belonged to his dad??

you just decided his sentiments didn’t count!

That was my main thought as well.

Aaah! Oh dear!

Maybe you could search from some 1970's/80's items to go with it then he could rock the whole ensemble😁

We have The Great Chelsea Boot Saga in this house. Said Chelsea Boots which no longer fit and were fecking awful mysteriously disappeared during a house move and I have never been allowed to forget it!

Some very concerning, casually trotted out controlling behaviour in this thread.

Obviously this happens quite regularly in a lot of posters lives, deciding what their partner can wear and hiding stuff they don't like.

That made me cringe too. 😂 Sounds ridiculous! 😆

I quite like it

Buy him the matching tweed cap, gold chain and signet ring for Christmas...

I would frequently try and make DH’s old clothes disappear. Not always because they were of dubious taste but because he stopped wearing them. He would explain that he was keeping them for DS. I would explain that DS was unlikely to want to wear his dad’s old cast offs.
Guess what, DS frequently raids his dad’s hoard of vintage Adidas and Nike ( DH played a lot of sport) and it has saved me a lot of money. DS recently went shopping after starting uni and shopped exclusively in a vintage clothes shop. He is the envy of many friends who frequently borrow his “cool” clothes. So I was wrong. I haven’t told DS that there are probably even more clothes in the loft but since I need to start clearing it out next year I may let him loose up there over Christmas.
I could see my DS loving your DH’s jacket.
It’s defo something he would wear. Maybe put it on Vinted to see if it attracts any buyers.

I agree with a pp, what a horrible thing to do. I would go nuclear if my husband threw away something that belonged to my dad, and would clearly have sentimental value. But he would never do this because he's not controlling and abusive.

YOU didn't feel sentimental about it because it wasn't yours.

Seriously, what a shitty thing to do!

Does your partner have a mullet? If so, it's his perfect coat and you should let him wear it with pride.

OMG you don't even need to ask.

Bin it.

Honestly? No it looks fine to me! Sorry OP. I thought it was going to be holey and filthy, but seems fine

'Allo 'allo

These coats are quite trendy this year actually

Bloody hell some people on this thread have had a sense of humour bypass! I would give to my dogs to sleep on then blame them for stealing it, lol. With luck they’d rip it ..

I wouldn't make any of my partner's clothes 'mysteriously disappear'. It's a horrible thing to do. I might gently suggest he replaced it with a nicer coat but if he liked it, so be it. If my partner threw out anything of mine just because he didn't like it, I would be absolutely livid.

That sounds hilarious.

Looks lovely, snuggly and warm to me!

Did he get it from a mush in Shepherds Bush?

It’s hideous! Burn it, burn it with fire - and dance around the flames while it turns to ashes, rejoicing in its demise. It’s the only correct response to such a horrifically ugly piece of clothing.

Alternatively, maybe try and hide it under a laundry pile or in a box somewhere - but do note, it’s probably sentient, and will crawl out and take its revenge, no doubt by giving you a lecture on wrongthink, and repeating all the inane virtue signalling posts on the rest of this thread, in its raspy, sheepskin, leathery voice . . .

A post like this on MN used to raise the roof. Then people with a sense of humour failure all joined and started using melodramatic words and be professionally offended.

OP the coat is rank. YANBU

I remember my father enquiring about an overcoat that my mother had thrown away ten years previously . . .

I don't like it.

Was it given by someone such as an older relative who has since died, or has some sentimental value?

Its warm and appears clean. I don't get the issue.

OP if you have a dog, he can be your ally.
So what you do is whenever the dog seems in playful mode, you can throw a ball back and forth a few times and when he gets excited throw that coat with the hope he might totally ruin it.
You haven't thorn away and it was technically the dog. So it wasn't the dog's fault if the coat is not left inside the wardrobe (this will only work if your DH leaves thing all over the place).
Best of luck!
