I would like a coat for my 9 year old dd which is neither a chavvy puffa type thing or a duffel coat.....

[moondog]

I like this from Land's End v(I know, I know) very much Nice coat

They don't sell it in the UK though.

Anyone with any bright ideas please?

decathalon do some decent ones - online, or in greenwich

how much of a mucky pup is she?

smart but sweet

Have you looked in Zara? I got dd's last two school coats (must be navy) there. Was surprised by how practical they are.

Too frou frou Colditz-it needs to double up as hill walking coat. I want multi tasking clothing!
I'll check out Decathlon.
I can't seem to find Zara kids online.

Thank you all.

Polarn O Pyret do some waterproof/windproof ones but not yet online.

They are ££ but I find I only buy a fleece & waterproof once every couple of years and they are worn in various layers all year round.

(BTW my dc have walked plenty of hills in their POP coats!)

Nowt in Decathlon (unless I want fishing gear.)

Clay, I like that site.
This is similar

POP would definitely do the job, if you have a shop near you 9or cna be passing one soon)

expensive though.

great colours as well.

Never heard of it before..what do you mean they don't do online. They seem to!

I like that gear a lot.

There were some ski-type jackets in John Lewis today. DD has a ski jacket from TKMaxx.

This horror is my worst nightmare

Checked out JL.Not promising.
TK Maxx..never been.
Will check out,.

Thansk

you can't order online, moondog. it shows you the collections, and prices, but can't click thorugh to order.

it's a real bugger, but it's worth travelling for.

(dd1 has their pyjamas - she still needs all in one types, and they are the only place I can find that do cotton ones big enough for her)

lovely bright colours, no ridiculous slogans. the clothes wash and wear well too.

Oh you'll love TK Maxx moony...

Any of the scandinavian shops e.g H&M are good. Also (surprisingly) Millets - have often got good plain waterproof/fleece layered coats at good prices.

My DDs have POP coats. Flippin' brilliant. They are virtually indestructible. After being worn solidly by DD1 and then DD2 for about 3 years in total our original POP coat looks brand new. ITA about that horror Moony- I was nearly sick in my mouth, yuk. I prefer kids to have outerwear that is made to withstand, nay, welcomes tearing about in all weathers in comfort.

Colditz, you're a darling but I swear I would sooner perform fellatio on Robert Mugabe than buy one of those.

I'm loiking POP v much indeed.
Will check out H&M too.

God knows why I have gone all West Country...

Didriksons are worth a look.
