Duffle coats needed sizes 4yrs & 7yrs. I've got to get them to my PILs by Sat. Online shopping only. Any ideas? Thx

John Lewis?

I was in a panic about school shirts, and finally found them on their site on Sunday. They're being delivered today - albeit that you have to pay £6.95 for the privilege of next day delivery.

Yeah, prob a bit much for school but dd would love it!

I was looking at Gloverall but the price stuns me...

Nothing at John Lewis, Littlewoods, M&S, Next.. where else can I look?

Cheap as poss but long-wearing. I'm not buying 3 coats each kid like last year! duffle coats last forever (ds could eventually wear dd's). Not a latest fashion statement but school's school.

what about this - not actually a duffle coat but a good long lasting one and a little more up to date

these are duffle coats and not too pricey

Got thru to cozybear. Excellent price but wondering about quality. Damn! Hate having to rush...

RE the cost of the Gloverall duffles, they are very expensive, and that is a sed load of cash to shell out in one go, so I can see that it may not be a player.

However, they do last. And last and last.

My two have to wear them as part of the school uniform.

The first one lasted dd 3 years, and was passed onto ds for another 2 (the school uniform shop makes you buy 'em with a lot of growing room!

So five years of winter coat for £85 seems a lot more affordable. (coat was then passed on to another family!)

I have also had hand me down gloveralls that have done two siblings and then did us for another 2 years

LL - can we have that in writing please

Our school has Beau Brummel, and they are lovely AND would probably resell on eBay well (for about 50% of original price if in good condition)

See here

Forgot to add - if you Google "SS42 duffle coat" you'll find other suppliers too...

I've had my gloverall since 1993 so it's done well. I must admit I love it. It's warm & comforting & ageless... like me.

So, for the record, I found one for dd for £75 (free shipping) from here . It's already in the post. Am I pleased? You betcha!
