DH thinks its a girls coat??? I think it would look lovely on any little person!

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

This post should probably be in style and beauty!

YANBU. Also it is lovely.

I would say it's a boys' coat. Don't think that my 7yo would like it much, but the 5 and 3 yos would both be delighted with it. Most of the girls I know wear either nice pastels or hideous puce. Not red and not stars.

It looks like a girls coat, but you could pull it off on a little boy if he was not conventional looking. Sorry that makes no sense, I didn't want to say if he is cool but that is what I meant

I know some little boys who could pull it off but others that would look ridiculous

Is a lovely coat.
More of a girls coat though I think..

Know what you mean Sherby.

southeastastra · 19/10/2009 08:13

looks like dressing gown design, boy could get away with the brown, the red is just ugly imo

BouncingTurtle · 19/10/2009 08:25

I would put my DS in the red coat (he is 22mo).

I wouldn't pay £36 for it though!!!

Probably me just being tight, but I tend to buy most of DS's clothes from Asda & Tesco, or Empire if there is a sale on!

PuppyMonkey · 19/10/2009 08:33

Perfect for a little girl.

pigletmania · 19/10/2009 08:39

£36 for a childs coat that isent that special is a lot. Looks like it came from H&M,Matalan or Tesco to me. It is nice but not wonderful that i would pay that much for it.

GibbonWithAnAppleBobbingBibOn · 19/10/2009 08:43

Sorry, it's not my bag.

123andaway · 19/10/2009 08:46

Fine for a toddler boy. I think it's lovely. I wouldn't put an older boy in it though.

Firawla · 19/10/2009 08:48

i think its okay for a toddler boy, but would prefer blue. i dont think stars are just for girls, blue with stars would be nicer than they have just blue with white dots

DD has the Toby Tiger stars rain coat and matching wellies, which of course will look equally adorable on her younger brother...

Guad · 19/10/2009 08:54

I think it's sweet. Ds2 has a similar one from Adams but's green with blue stars. He's 2.5 now but we bought it last summer.

susiey · 19/10/2009 08:56

I would put it on my son and don't think its girly

I love red on my dd and my ds

teafortwo · 19/10/2009 08:56

... fab fab fun coat shown on a boy on the main 'jackets and gilets' page but also good for a girl too!

Buy it... buy it... buy it!!!!

zebramummy · 19/10/2009 09:35

well it depends on whether you have a pretty boy or not - i do, at age 4 he still gets mistaken for a girl at the park.

it is a nice enough coat but i would not buy it without shopping around first, as there are lots of other 'designer labels' doing absolutely gorgeous clothes including oilily, cakewalk etc.

diddl · 19/10/2009 09:55

Well, the price would put me off, tbh!

But I do like young children in bright coloured coats.

Will admit to a penchant for dufflecoats.

FlightAttendant · 19/10/2009 10:00

Lovely but too ££!

FlightAttendant · 19/10/2009 10:00

ds2 has got one from gap that is dark blue with tiny pink/green apples on.

Twintummy · 19/10/2009 10:34

Really wish I hadn't followed the link. Lovely clothes!

I'd put one of my boys in it.

Disenchanted3 · 19/10/2009 10:37

WHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYY

Did you show me that site?!

I want everything!

nulgirl · 19/10/2009 10:38

Saw a little boy in it today. He was wearing it with a green scarf. Now thinking about buying it for my ds as I love him in red.

Am sick of navy or sludge brown. Had a bad experience shoe shopping yesterday as I ended up with a pair of brown shoes with orange beetles on them. So not what I wanted.

ruthosaurus · 19/10/2009 10:46

I wish I hadn't looked, you bugger, now I have to buy it for DS. And my god-daughter. And my niece. And my godson. And possibly me, if I magically shrink a lot.

Arse.

pigletmania · 19/10/2009 11:22

just looked at the website, very expensive for what they are, you can get similar for cheaper elsewhere, i got my dd some lovely things in the Debenhams sale last week, and paid e.g. £8 for a pair a Jasper Conran cords with embrodery on (oops sp) not over £20 from Tobytiger, and a lovely John Rocha winter coat for £20 that looks much nicer than that coat with stars on it.

pranma · 19/10/2009 11:38

There is a blue spotty version too
