Comments on this coat please, thank you!!!

[OrribleOliveoil]

looks nice and cosy

er depends on how skinny are I think
I would look unspeakable and the words Michelin Man spring to mind...
I like "goblin blue" though

dont like long padded ones meslef

Horrible - sorry!

nice if you are skinny.

I am tall and skinny and I need a long coat with a hood for when out and about with the buggy.

Get off the fence sweetheart, say what you think! .

I can't find one anywhere and this is in the catalogue so I could pay in bits.

I saw one in Gap exactly like that (but in black) for £88.

Why not try a short version - or a gilet? I love my Rab down jacket for the winter, but stylish it isn't (sorry Rab).

foxy - was it long? They have a mens one but it is thigh length.

Message withdrawn

it's definitely long and in the women's section but I think the hood may have had a fur trim (though not sure)

I'll see if I can find a picture

prefer This one also payable in installments.

Well I like the firetrap one and would definately get one if i was skinny but at 35 weeks pregnant im far from that! I'd go for it its practical and funky.

No I don't like it Olive. Very expensive I think.

aaah can't find a picture because GAP doesn't have a UK site and the US one is not the same (and none on ebay).

do you need it to be waterproof?

its ok if you are tall. I made the mistake a couple of years ago of buying one but im only 5'- i looked like a walking sleeping bag.

I'm tall and I'm still not convinced.

not for me olive
but if you like it, go for it

What about this one?

Not quite as puffy but a fraction of the price.

I like them both BTW.

ooooh, I like that one! Think I may have to order that, thank you.

Thats £££££ saved then.

Ohhh, I feel all clever now.

I'm off to give myself a pat on the back

OOh yes that's much better. Greta site that. Have added it to my faves.

Have you tried Lands end? They have a down jacket for £99:

long down coat

I have a Squall coat from there (not down, fleece) with hood and it is warm and waterproof-fish:

squall options

But neither are particularly fashionable I think, just warm!

I might order one for myslf actually.

Not sure which siz eto get though, I'm a 10/12 normally but in the winter I'll be wearing a lot more under it and the according to the size chart thee sizes aren't that generous.

14/16 would be huge though I think.

I hate it when the sizes do that, wheres the 12/14 size???

Do you know, I have just been thinking the same thing! I am a 12/14 too, mainly 12 but I am thinking jumpers underneath so maybe the larger one.

Hmmmmm. May order both.
