Now, a hat and scarf to match??? Plain red or plain blue????

This post should probably be in style and beauty!

I like it a lot and would buy it for one of my boys!

geordieminx · 18/10/2009 21:13

I like it but wouldnt put ds (2.5) in it - he gets confused for a girl more than enough as it is

Heated · 18/10/2009 21:15

I'm getting déjà vu. There was exactly the same thread about the same coat approx 12 months ago.

The general consensus was that it would be fine on a young boy, especially as the lining is blue.

nbee84 · 18/10/2009 21:16

I think it looks like a girls coat too.

LynetteScavo · 18/10/2009 21:16

I would get it in blue or brown for a boy.

ChilloHippi · 18/10/2009 21:17

girls coat

MrsJohnDeere · 18/10/2009 21:18

Girls coat imo.

LynetteScavo · 18/10/2009 21:18

Blimey, that site has some lovely clothes!

diddl · 18/10/2009 21:20

Girls coat!

thisisyesterday · 18/10/2009 21:22

aww, that is fab

why on earth is it a girls coat?
cos it's red??
cos it has stars?

because boys are onlyallowed brown/grey/sludge green????

thisisyesterday · 18/10/2009 21:24

i have banned myself from going into the toby tiger shop because i always want too much lol

nbee84 · 18/10/2009 21:28

I think it's the stars that make it look girly. I know there's no reason why a boy can't wear red or why a boy can't wear stars.

But I still think it looks like a girls coat.

francaghostohollywood · 18/10/2009 21:29

deffo perfect for a little boy. I'd team it with blue scarf and hat. Or even green.

sweetnitanitro · 18/10/2009 21:37

I don't think it's particularly girly, if I had a DS I would probably dress him in something similar. I agree with thisisyesterday, so many "boys" clothes are dull colours.

MilkNoPoisonPlease · 18/10/2009 21:42

That is frigging lovely!

does it come in adult sizes...

MilkNoPoisonPlease · 18/10/2009 21:43

oh, YANBU!

golgi · 18/10/2009 21:47

I'd put my boys in one although I'm a bit concerned that it doesn't look waterproof (an important consideration up North).

I like bright colours on small boys.

largeginandtonic · 18/10/2009 21:47

Perfect for a little boy!

PartOfTheHumphreysGroup · 18/10/2009 21:50

Buzzzzzzzz

diddl · 18/10/2009 21:54

For me it´s the stars that make it "girly".

TheDevilsKnickers0nMaHead · 19/10/2009 00:36

Lovely coat imo. I like the brown with stars too.

verylittlecarrot · 19/10/2009 00:43

No no no

It isn't a girl's coat. If it was, it would be a bilious shade of puce with lilac fur and feathers edged around its sequinnned sparkly buterflies and fairy princesses motifs.

Obviously.

(love the coat, for either gender)

hanaboo · 19/10/2009 00:51

hmmmm girls imo but its just the stars and also would be fine for boys under two... don't ask me why lol jmo

pigletmania · 19/10/2009 00:52

Looks unisex to me

bruffin · 19/10/2009 07:33

Horrible and wouldn't have put my DS in it, nor my DD dor that.
