Warm casual coat for husband

[Jellibotti]

Help please!

I want to buy my husband a warm, casual coat for Christmas. Not of the shooting jacket variety, nor overly trendy. Something warm enough to watch my boys playing rugby in, and suitable for a 42 year old clinging on to his youth. He's only 5'10" and quite well padded as it is, so I think puffas are out of the question.

I'm willing tonspend up to £300, but would rather it was less than £200. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks very much.

Im allso looking for coat for dh. Nearly posted similar thread title but am looking for something verging on smart.

Have you tried north face down jackets don't have to be bulky & are vvwarm £300 should cover it. It'll last him years so no need to scrimp to £200. They do nice black parka types. Or slightly more outdoorsy coats for climbing and walking etc but just as good for rugby watching.

Target dry are meant to be great & cheaper than NF.

Watching with interest.

Also watching with interest. I love the idea of a load of unknowing husbands and partners wearing a 'Mumsnet' coat .

My dh has the regatta insulated coat he wore it for football yesterday and had to take it off as he was to warm init and it was really cold here.

Sorry I can't do a link but it on eBay it was £40 very impressed

You want a north face one. Ooh yes. Perfect

H has something like this. But longer m.johnlewis.com/mt/www.johnlewis.com/the-north-face-amongstit-delux-ski-jacket-blue/p771415?un_jtt_v_pdp=yes&un_jtt_v_from_product=un_product_7

DP has a northface one, it is so warm. TK Maxx often have nice man's coats in.

I bought OH a Superdry puffa jacket with hood and he totally loves it. Think it was about £70.

I've ordered my DH the Superdry parka coat. £150.

Fjallraven winter coats are great. Warm and waterproof.

My dp just bought this one www.prettygreen.com/shop/product/aw13-navy-borg-lined-fest-jacket/

It's lovely on and is fully lined

Oh boo link fail, sorry! www.prettygreen.com/shop/product/aw13-navy-borg-lined-fest-jacket

Trying again!

I think Aigle are a great alternative to North Face and they don't have a visible Logo (per hate of my DH's)

Dh has a rushmore. It's under £100 here. :)
Warm, waterproof and almost bum covering. Ticks all the MN boxes

Thanks very much, am off to look them all up. I did wonder about North Face, but as the boys have them, they may look a bit like a matching set!

I'd forgetten about Aigle, good idea as my husband also has logophobia.

Will report back...

forgetten? that can't even be blamed on this dodgy keyboard!

The pretty green coat is nice.

I saw a bloke at Manchester Piccadilly this morning wearing a duffle coat. He looked great. Really. It was a shorter length than usual, and was 'greige'. I almost stopped him to ask where it was from so that I could make my husband buy it.
