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

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?

I wouldn’t now, but in the very early days of our relationship I gave one of DH’s suits to the local charity shop. However, they placed it in the centre of their window display and DH passed it on the way home from the tube.

Id take it over a chavvy black north face puffer but hey.

No. I wouldn’t try to control what my partner wore unless it was dirty, inappropriate or worn out.

Explain to me how that is funny.

Its not your coat. Leave him be.

😂

My husband has a coat that I don't like; he still wears it, and we laugh about how much I hate it. It's only a coat.

It's quite cute actually. Probably needs a clean. But on a slim guy or woman who's quite tall I think it might look alright.

I like it 😊

👏👏👏

When Barbour coats were in fashion, my husband had a long one that he wore all the time. It was fine when it was new but eventually as it got a bit tatty, it looked like a flasher mac or a shop lifters special as it had massive big pockets inside it, that you could put a weeks shop in. He got pulled several times for looking dodgy and I used to laugh my head off.

But there was no way he was parting with that coat.

I get on well with his ex-wife and the subject arose in front of her and she and I exchanged that look, it transpired he had, had the exact same coat before and she had gone through the same issue with him!

I just found him a coat he really loved and after he lived in the new coat, I put the Barbour in a suit carrier in the wardrobe to keep it "safe". Such a thoughtful wife! He still hasn't asked where it is.

😂What can I say, DH's tshirts are so terrible even the charity shop wouldn't take them.
OP's coat is YSL, in comparison!

I'd probably wear it.

Surely it’s in his interests in the long term if it disappears? Less likely to get the Ick every time you leave the house?!

He could wear it when doing work in the garden in the winter, or cleaning the car.

Rather worrying that 43% of voters seem to think it would be reasonable to get rid of their partner's things.

Can you imagine the response if a poster posted that a man selected which of her clothes he didn't like and got rid of them ?

I quite like it 😳. I'll get my coat!

Absolutely this.
Sheepskin is really warm.
Bought a couple of shearling fleeces from Etsy and my Whippet loves hers- I kept one for myself to lie on {sofa} as so warm for a painful back.

Put it in a 90 degree wash with a 1400 spin, that'll sort it.

Oh I have a similar (though obviously much smarter 😉) one!

@Shodan i like to pretend I’m Perry as I walk down the street! Takes years off me!

Pet bed..? Dad used to have a WW2 Flying jacket - His Burmese cat used to love to snuggle in it.

A coat for Barbie's Ken!

I really like it, but even if I didn’t, of course I wouldn’t throw it away.

What would you think if your partner threw away an item of clothing that you absolutely loved, because they decided it wasn’t very nice?

Me too , I like it .
@Cantbearsedwiththosepeskyelves if your DH decides he doesn't want it ( you can not make him throw it away) please send it in this direction. 🧥

I get what you mean as it does look nasty. Many, many years ago a friend was getting rid of a black and white cowskin coat and DH said he’d take it. I had no idea why he wanted it but soon found he had removed the sleeves and wanted to wear it as a vest!! It was early days in our marriage so I felt I couldn’t say anything, especially since he was so proud of it but I really wanted to hide it away forever.
