Proper raincoat for a size 20?

8 replies

Any ideas where I could find a decent raincoat, not jacket, that goes to my knees, is properly waterproof with a hood that stays on, that is not going to break the bank and that will not make me look tooooooooo much like the Michelin Man?

Or is this a Mission Impossible replay?

Some are great

Thanks, PerryCombover! I have just been looking at another thread on here re coats and came across that name for the first time. Cheers!

You're welcome. I got a brilliant chevron coat from there last year or the year before
I'm a 10-12-14 in clothes generally depending on the length, norks etc. I was really happy with the coat and it was much admired
Also very fit for purpose not too bulky or vile mountain gear

I was going to say Landsend too!

PS. Google "Landsend Clearance" and you'll a link to get pages of bargains that you can't find on the main site.

Are the sizes correct on their website?

I liked the look of the peacoat however their US sizes don't correspond. Eg a US 8 is a UK 12, not 10. Does this mean they come up large?

Also there don't seem to be many size 20 styles for the op.

I actually saw a coat I fancied on the M&S ad tonight. But I am afraid to order and get it shipped to no doubt face the killing disappointment of the usual M&S fit. Sad

Maybe you didn't see these?
American sizes are always two smaller than ours afaik?

Yes a US size should be 2 sizes bigger, US 10 UK 14, however a lot of the clothing says US 10 UK 12
