oh GOD the coat i wanted in LANDS END is sold out

[FolornHope]

the chevron down one in black
boo
anyone know about their stock levels?

I buy the regular size and I'm 5'2" as I find the petite ones have short arms (I think I may be in the minority here though).

ah got an email
no knowledge as if to any more coming in
am in states at xmas but its a bit bulky

It packs up very small - the one I shipped last week came from LE paced right down to about the size of a largish shoe box.

wear it home

Yep, it's warm but squishes very flat in a package.

Mine LE also arrived squished very flat but unsquished (did I just invent a word?!) very quickly and I am toasty warm in it. Main reason for getting is that we are off to Bruges for a week in December and it is normally pretty chilly there. I know this keep me super warm.

I don't believe the 'boutique' versions will be warm enough or water repellent.

I got a Land's End down coat last year, and although I don't feel my best in it, I am always warm. Since I only wear it for ds's rugby/footy matches or walking in the woods, I don't much care about the style shame of the Land's End label.

Nor do I really.

FOLORNHOPE- I have a black lands end chevron coat in medium to return. Kept the navy. You could have it instead of me returning it?

STOP RIGHT THERE LADY!

ah thanks nikki
dont htink the belty thing will do anything for me
wonder if they sell such cold items in florida

My back-up plan if I couldn't get the lands end one was the berghaus akka long down coat. I think the cheapest I found it for was £125.

berghaus akka is lovely and quite flattering Saw one in snow and rock v nice Also armani jeans do them or did

Have you seen an anne klein one very similar to the LE chevron? Will try and link.

I've been thinking about it but scared in case the sizing is wrong - it's an overseas website.

FH Did you sort out your coat with SC?

So tell me, are long down jackets in then??? Cos I tried one on the other day (the Berghaus Akka as it happens) and was rather taken by it, but the OH gave me a look that could have soured milk and I think "rather 90s" was mentioned.

Not being any kind of style icon, I have no idea what's in at all. If youse all tell me down jackets are where it's at you'll solve the perennial problem of my birthday present, and I'll get to be warm and snuggly all winter.

And the OH can go jump ...

i have the lands end squall in brown, dh hates it, says i look like a walking compost bin, but i love it.

Well I don't care if they are in or not. I just want to be warm. But at the same time I don't want to look like a caterpiller so I think I will have to try on (and not order from an overseas website)

it briefly cam into stock
think i might buy in states

infort the one that SC had was a petite!

doubt they will do down jackets in florida
distinctly summery clothes only there iirc

Hmm I feared thus. Tell of top tips.
