Anybody bought a new coat yet?

[EverlongYouAreGoldAndOrange]

I'm talking school run, everyday type.

Need ideas

I got this yesterday and I luffs it.

I have the H&M coat and love it. I paid full price though.

Might get it another colour for £17!

Hello, what's the sizing on the H &M coat like, please?

I struggle with sizes at moment as have lost weight, but don't want it too small and H&M sizes bit unpredictable, I think.

The one I ordered from TK Maxx came today, it's a keeper

This arrived today and I think it's a keeper - lovely shape on, waterproof, warm (but its not a really really heavy coat) - ticks all the boxes for me. Need to have a proper try-on tomorrow in daylight though. Meantime, the shapeless, boxy but very cosy Barbour Redesdale can go back!!

MarianForrester I tend to size up in H&M, often by quite a lot, their stretchy jersey basics, vests and tees and things I buy in a L which is an 18-20, (I am a 12 )

However the coat I got in a 12 and it is perfect.

Thank you! Yes, I have t shirt tops in medium and large,hard to tell- but comforting to know that you need a large for a twelve!

I shall order the 14 with more confidence now, cheers

Millie your coat looks lovely, very warm

I have a Henri Lloyd one very similar.

What happened to the coats you bought last year and the year before that etc?

This winter i will be mostly wearing, my 18 year old biker jacket with a hoodie underneath.

Wow. Sounds lovely SunWukong. Did you put your judgey pants on as well?

Hahaha you're funny sun not

Erm I just fancy a new coat, sorry if that's not ok with you.

You didn't answer the question the wording of the thread sounds like you buy one every year, so what happened to the one you got last year?

The wording doesn't sound like I buy a new one.

What's it to you if I buy a new every year? You're not paying for it.

It's a waste of money and the planet's resources if you do, walks off.

Cheerio.

laugh's at the thought that i could fit in a coat i wore 18 years ago considering i'm 23!! the coat i had bought 2 years ago just isn't waterproof enough for school run every day / walking to work and back and my one before that was bought at 14 so is not particularly suitable anymore!! we don't have much money to spare as have 2 young dc which is why i need a new coat that doesn't cost much but will (hopefully) last a couple of years at least!!!

i am likeying that H&M one.....I really want a red coat this winter so am going to keep on looking!

at the random gatecrash from the thrift police!
