what do you think about this coat

[FrameyMcFrame]

this coat here???
It's navy but looks very dark in the picture.

Love Hobbs. Love the coat.

it's quite expensive but would last a few years I guess...

Its gorgeous and would buy it if I had the money but.......... I could buy a whole new wardrobe of clothes for £239!!

Very nice.

Its absolutely gorgeous!!

I like it but wouldnt wear it myself as I have large norks and find double breasted makes me look matronly.

oh I have large chest too, maybe it will look matronly on me...
I'm torn between spending lots on a coat or lots on boots.
These are the boots I'm liking here

but I can't afford the coat and boots...
and I dont know if they would go anyway?

I tried on a very similar style to the coat in Sainsbury's - only £45 but very nice.

Very dull

Bonsoir, you can't just say it's dull without offering an alternative!

if they have it in hobbs rather than Jl there is a 20% off voucher in red magazine this month

If the OP wants plain and classic, this is much sexier.

The coat is beautiful, really beautiful. I love it! The boots are OK, but not moved by them. They wouldn't be a good match w the coat, IMO, if that was the plan. Think such a sharp, classic coat needs classic boots ie riding boot style.

Boring coat

I would buy the coat tis lovely
the boots are great but you could wear anything under the coat (inc pjs to tesco!) and look fab.

\link{http://www.cathkidston.co.uk/p-15270-cath-kidston-nelson-tweed-coat.aspx\has more detail} which i would want to pay for for that price

And the KG boots definitely do not go with the Hobbs coat.

the coat is dull but nice
ditto the boots

Gorgeous but might need some fancy boots. I too could buy a whole wardrobe for £239!

i like this and this as an alternative

Coat is absolutely beautiful IMHO

Thanks everyone, I think it's a lush coat but I'm not sure about spending a lot of money on one item anyway.

Bonsoir, the Paul and Joe coat is nice but it's over £100 more expensive and I was pushing it with the budget to start with.
southeastastra, the Kath Kidston coat is not really my colour, I suit blues and was looking for a navy coat really as it will go with more outfits.
Ronaldinhio, the LKBennet is a lovely colour but I didn't want a belted coat, the allsaints caot is lovely but not sure about grey.
I'm being picky really...
I quite liked this one as well

Looks lovely, quite classic. Would probably be able to wear it for several years-if that's what you want.

the coat is gorgeous, I have rather a lot of hobbs clothing (dh gets staff discount ) their stuff is really well made - I usually get bored of it before it gets tatty an I'm really hard on clothes. So a good investment, the military look never really goes out of fashion so you'll definately get a couple of years wear out of it!

I don't like the boots- sorry! don't think they'd go with the coat either - how about [[http://www.hobbs.co.uk/index.cfm?page=1235&showall=true these emily elastic boot in choc]
and if you used the red voucher on the coat you could afford both!

or these are lovely and only £89

The Hobbs coat is much lovelier than the Monsoon one.
