Winter Coats.....

[CountessDracula]

Yay my Dad just called and said he would buy me a new winter coat for my birthday (after several hints lol)!

So come on what is out there? Want something timeless so will last not anything too of the moment as it were.

I've seen some lovely winter coats about but for life of me cannot remember where now!

Will have a think.

COD you are usually good at these things

Thanks SC

quite fancy this in chocolate - anyone got one? Am rather anti Boden too so maybe not a good idaea

Is it for the school playground? or for going out? or a good all-rounder?

Bought something similar to the Boden one from Next £89, but with a hood as I always find getting the kids in and out the car with a brolly too much like hard work.

Anyway, just had a gander, and not on their website.

For everything really. I have something for work so doesn't have to be really smart. Quite fancy a fake Astrakhan (sp?) one maybe?

Someone earlier posted a link to this site - what about this one

black though very reasonably priced

CD - what size are you? I got a really lovely fake Astrakhan in H&M but it was in the larger lady bit. I think the smallest size they do is a 14 and it was only £59

Cd I don't think moleskin wears very well. I've had a jacket in it and it lost its shape quite quickly - also got shiny on the elbows.

hmm ok thanks

Problem is I am allergic to wool (though I can wear a wool mix coat as long as it isn't against my skin.

Maybe leather?

Will look at H&M though maybe Astrakhan is not classical loL!

Fake astrakhan in Next

i got one of boden's moleskin coats once in a sale (though still expensive )
it fell apart - the lining wore through, the coat was not well-made and furthermore it wasn't very thick or warm anyway - kind of light and floppy.

(i hate boden - for a reason!)

if allergic to wool how about one of those parka-style ones with furry hood - they can look great - white stuff has a lovely one that i want but it doesn't go up to a 16

(having trouble finding a coat i like at the moment!)

saw a fab one in Joseph at lunchtime but can't find a link to it, their website is rubbish!

Hobbs ... not cheap though...

Oooo.... I could have started this thread!

My mum wants to buy me a new coat for Christmas - can I tag along on the coat buying?

I need something waterproof with a hood, fitted and in an autumnal colour and the timeless comments fit too....

I have the Miranda trench in tobacco , it's lovely. There is a good selection at Hobbs

formal or cas?

you cant do belted cd can you?

ia hev been llookign for a casual one and finally found one

swoon tastic

that coat is really beautiful. I love the ribbon belt. Are you getting it?

no way when WOULD i wear it?
no i have my eye on a parka type one form ( groan) KEW
ITS THE ONLY ONE IVE SEEN

oops

I was very impressed by your daily glamour!
You would have to wear it every day for a year to get good cost-per-wear!

link to Kew coat please?
(the workmen were working very hard on our soon to be Kew yesterday. I want their sparkly ribbon belt but they only have red left on website).

Reiss do some gorgeous, very classic ones but their pouncey website only shows a few of their items, well worth going into one of the stores.
Tis one of my favourite shops actually.

no the coat i like isnt on the websoite
ams ummoning up courage to make th commitment - big secision Non?
