I need a type of puffa/quilted jacket but ...............

[OhCobblers]

i'm not sure what the filling should be?

I've seen a really good selection in TK Maxx which go beyond one's butt (vital in the cold weather as i really freeze) and are black and quite stylish plus excellent prices - approx £80. They feel warm but i'm not sure what i should be looking for.

Could you give me tips / advice pls?

I bought a black 100% down filled quilted jacket from tk maxx today! I love it- actually feels like I'm wrapped in a duvet . It was £70. Can't find a link- sorry. It's knee length, water-resistant and has a really soft matte velvety (sounds awful, but it's nice, I promise) high neckline that you can button up to reach up to your ears in really freezing weather.

feast your eyes on the bounty at Uniqlo

I tried a few, bought a sleeveless... they are all terrific quality.

... err, but in answer to your question... no idea what the filling is

NatureAbhorsAHoover (love your name btw, I agree it does seem unnatural to hoover) all those you linked to are filled with down!! Definitely the best filling as it's warm but light at the same time and actually doesn't look bulky at all.

thanks for all replies and sorry for late response - RL got in the way!
i popped into Uniqlo last week - i had really thought of them as i'd bought a short puffa jacket a couple of years ago and although warm was very bulky to wear.

however, their long version for £110 looked great on, felt very warm and I didn't feel like Michelin Man!! For the moment i'll still keep an eye on TK Maxx thought as they're cheaper but Down filling is clearly whats needed!

Thank you.

I got a lovely down and feather filled coat in Warehouse. They had given me a 35% off voucher with a previous purchase, so the coat went from £100 to £65. It was just the other day and I believe the vouchers are going till mid Nov, so maybe a online code floating about or go instore and ask

Can't do links sorry, but here it is:

It was a humunginous bargain and I got loads of lovely stuff with my voucher!

Uniqlo.

Filled with a specially spun micro fibre.

I was amazed. So soft.

I got a Fenn Wright and Manson down filled from TX Maxx - it is 3/4 length so great for walking dog in the winter or smart enough to wear over a suit for work, also has a zip at top and bottom so you don't feel constricted when walking. It is very warm, every time I try it on I am boiling in the house! but light and not too puffy so I don't look like michelin man Price was amazing £250.00 RRP down to £80.00!!!
