Help me not love this coat

[latrucha]

Hobbs here

I haven't go the money to buy it but now I've seen it I don't want anything else. In fact, even if I did have the money I'm not sure I'd buy it as I've just had a baby so will lose lots of weight (ahem).

I love it. Help me not love it. Or find me something else to love. Please.

The OPs coat looks like an old cardigan.

The All Saints one is even worse and looks like the sort of thing you can buy down the local market.

I still like it.

I mean, if you're looking for a grey wool winter coat, it's fab. And I am.

Oh the Westwood coat is gorgeous

Has anyone looked at the new Jil Sander range for Uniglo? Sorry, can't do links, am a dinosaur. Really great coat in there.

Op, if I love something like the coat, I keep the pic as my screensaver, it's amazing how quickly my eyes tire of it, saving me making a large buying error. Worth a try. Or have a look for the 20% off codes for Hobbs, usually loads online.

Not keen on teh speckledy effect

good

This is what you need

Oh those liberty tweeds are stunning. I want one of those.

Oh wow.

I do happen to have a red liberty mackintosh. It was on ebay, unworn...50 quid.

I feel undeserving, it hangs there looking at me and I look at it, and it knows, and I know, that even it can never make me look groomed.

Beautiful, elegant and donegal tweed is timeless. You will get many years out of this and it will not date.

4plus1 - now, that's not playing fair! I MAY get thin again, you know.

hf - totally beyond me but lovely. They need a much taller model for that lomg coat though.

Ah but livingbtriver - is the tum not worse without a belt?

I so want one of those hand made coats ! How much are they!!!

for those coveting the allsaints coat - not quite the same but super cheap!

Similar for £80 for the size you are now? Then invest when you return to normal!

That Hobbs coat is expensive, frumpy, a boring colour and will make you look like a sack of spuds tied in the middle

When it gets wet you will smell like a wet dog

How's that?

It looks like not just like a dressing-gown, as other posters say, but the kind of dressing-gown a middle-aged man would wear who had no heating in his house, and yellowing horny toenails ... And he feeds his cat tinned food straight onto a sheet of newspaper. And he has mouse footprints on the congealed lard in the fryingpan sitting unwashed on his cooker. And he doesn't eat breakfast because he can't be arsed to do the shopping. All he has in his fridge is cans of McEwan's Export ... how am I doing?

Lotser - I tried it! It's a really odd shapr on me

Kristina - not bad.

Would those of you who hate it hate all greywinter wool coats though?

Aha! So not miles off then, will keep looking!

thanks

Have you look at the Esprit website? There are a few nice coats on there.

Kookai at ASOS

ooo

I've only looked at the coat in OP but I honestly think it's hideous... so impractical.

why impractical?

love it cruelladepoppins next time I'm tempted to buy something unecessary I'll think of the crusty cat owner!
