Should I buy this or save up for Burberry/Barbour/aquascutum?

Late night musings....

I like it.

That is far nicer tha any Barbour jacket I have seen recently.
Definitely more stylish, and less like being a sheep, wearing the sawm stuff as everyone else!

do prefer this one but it's so £££

asos one is nice tho

I like it although I think it might get a little tatty after a short while.

I have an Aquacasutum Franca single breasted trench I bought 5 years ago in the sale which still looks as good as new. I would wait for the sales and take a look if you're not in a rush. Their online sale is still on if you want to take a look. Still v. expensive, but worth it in my opinion - I seem to have spent the last 4 spring and summers in mine!

They occasionally have Burberry trenches on the Outnet so you might want to keep an eye out there if you decide to invest. I always muse them as I bet they'd last ages. If you go with high street you'll probably end up spending just as much as you'll want to replace it every season (or that's what I tell myself)

Ggirl, that is gorgeous!! Hmmmm I don't know whether to stalk Burberry for sales.....

OP, remember if you do choose the Kookai one that ASOS has 10% off today - add 'valentine10' at the checkout so it will only cost £94

I like it and think you should get it before it sells out.

Bloody hell, am I the only one shocked by the legs on that Burberry model? I hope that's just a massive Photoshop fail.

Jesus wept at those legs, MN044. That poor woman could not catch a pig in a passage .

Have now seen this: www.barbourbymail.co.uk/Barbour-Cedar-Trench.html?utm_source=GoData&gdftrk=gdfV23564_a_7c1565_a_7c7165_a_7c530708&gclid=CIWUkcCZuLUCFeTMtAodNwoACg

i want all of them!

any opinions on the barbour one? has anyone seen it IRL?

That would be quite rain coat-y but you might be ok with that?

How about a cotton one?

Theory

Although shape of a Burberry one is probably better.

I like the fact that the barbour one is waterproof but I prefer the style of the burberry one.

if you live anywhere near London, it might be worth paying a visit here first. There might be something you'd like?

The Burberry one is beautiful, although I like your original one too op and there's personally no way I think I could justify spending over £600 on a mac although I'd love it

Ooh thanks for the outlet link! I would never spend more than a couple of hundred on a mac either plipp!

I've never been there Petite, so I don't know about prices and stock, but it seems legitimate. it's on my list of places to go, so if you get there first, please let us know what it's like!

The Burberry one is stunning - all the others look a bit ordinary in comparison.

I've got an aquascutum one I got at an outlet 2years ago for £150, I love it and I suspect it'll last years. I'll trade it in for a Burberry one day though.

I think this www.marksandspencer.com/Autograph-Stormwear-Double-Breasted-Trench/dp/B00A30IZ54?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_1&nodeId=42966030&sr=1-1&qid=1361012259&pf_rd_r=1JQW59ZJB86H30NMPZQS&pf_rd_m=A2BO0OYVBKIQJM&pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_i=0&pf_rd_p=321381407&pf_rd_s=center-3 is very like the Burberry one and very reasonable if you can over the fact it's M & S.

I know the Burberry is lovely, makes the others look dull. Really nice in navy too.

I invested in a Burberry Prorsum mac two years ago after buying Reiss / Karen Millen, etc. standard macs every couple of years. The quality is far superior, the cut amazing and I know I will wear it for a lifetime.

I would love a Burberry trench but they're so eye wateringly expensive!

They are so stunning on and I know I'd wear it forever and get my monies worth but it's so much to hand over, I just can't justify it.

Go for it OP, you won't regret it.
