Isabella Oliver 365, the crombie coat..

[Sazisi]

It looks lovely and I have a some funds burning a hole in my account
I reckon it's in keeping with my new 'buying quality timeless things that last' regime, too.

I've only ever bought one thing from IO, Audrey zip capris, and they are great.

I've never spent that much on a coat, so I need help from s&b mavens to justify it

Oh, this is it

Here I am justifying it for you
it is

• lovely
• classic cut
• classic colour
• bound to be good quality so will last several years at least

I spent loads on a coat a couple of years ago, I don't normally bother, but it's so worth it. It still looks good is on its third year hasn't dated and I still like it.

Does that help

Which colour? I love IO, have bought lots and its all been fantastic..

Caviar black.

That is indeed what I want to hear

A friend has a very similar coat, I think it was 400 Euros, but is perfect (and incredibly strokable) 5 years later.

I'm curious to know how much it is in £? I can only see it in Euros here (262.65)

£211...here
coat

do it, its gorgeous.

It is very nice.
