I've been looking for something like but but not sure so want your opinions!

Can anyone suggest any alternatives? It doesn't have to be a duffle, but wool/wool blend rather than puffer style and I like the fur lined hood.

I prefer the first one but the model does absolutely nothing for it, looks a damn mess!

The coat however, is lovely! Grin

I really like it too

PoshPaula · 11/10/2013 14:11

I prefer the first one, definitely. I would say it suits a young person.

WowOoo · 11/10/2013 14:14

I like the Zara one.

I have a light grey coat - I wish I'd gone for charcoal or dark red because it really shows up dirt. Are mucky kids jumping on you an issue?

Forgot to say I was looking at Nordstrom the other day and they had quite a selection. Worth a try.

Thanks all, some nice ones there dontlet thanks for posting.

Think I still prefer the Zara one. So tried it on yesterday in a Medium, fit was sort of ok but a bit tight on the bust. Does Zara only do v small sizes?? So I am between a M and a L and I am only a size 12??

Don't buy the Zara one if you are tall, the sleeves are clearly too short. I'm not mad on that shade of brown either.

Dancergirl · 13/10/2013 11:13

Oooh, jus found it in dark grey, nice:

I'm only 5'3" and sleeves are often too long on me!

Actually I don't think it's exactly the same, doesn't have the zip.

I like both, but Zara quality is so poor that I wouldn't pay anywhere near that. I'd get a decent one from Hobbs or somewhere instead, for that price.

Dancergirl · 13/10/2013 11:18

Yes does seem like a lot of money for Zara.

The grey Zara one is fab!

StupidFlanders · 13/10/2013 12:02

I much prefer the second one.

trixymalixy · 13/10/2013 12:04

Zara sizes are very small. I'm supposedly smaller than a 12 according to their size chart, but no possible way could I get in less than 14 in there. Usually I'm L or XL.

Back from another shopping trip!

I tried the BHS one, it was a big NO, talk about frumpy, and looking around at the age of the average customer in there I had to get out fast. What was I thinking! Shock

So back to Zara and tried the grey one which wasn't great. The colour was really drab. They didn't have the caramel one in a M so tried a S just to see it again and I really like it. So going to order the M online, unless anyone else can find me any other alternatives Smile
