I have found the perfect raincoat

[rootypig]

Ok it's spring but I don't care. I am wearing it to eat ice cream in the park.

The Stutterheim Stockholm

Well noone on MN cares, apparently, but it has been on several outings now and is much admired!

It's very nice and if I had 200 quid spare for a raincoat is definitely consider it!

rootypig I love it.

Please share which size you bought, and what size you are.

Not sure if the link is working for me. It links to an alarming looking bearded man. Is that the one?

mother I got XXS in orange, it is beautiful, bright but not neon. I am 5'4" and size 10.

Ha Marylou scroll down!

Oooh much better! Very nice! .

lovely but £200 is a LOT

Rooty I love your coat. I'd buy one in camo print in a heartbeat if I didn't already have a couple of great ones...

I know it's a lot

But I'm a single parent to toddler so spend a lot of time in the rain. And have been out in the evening I think twice in the last year sad. And this is the only coat i've bought this winter. And it should last a lifetime.

Rooty a good raincoat is really worth it if you live in a rainy place. I often wonder why we own any sandals or summer dresses - a good raincoat needs no further justification. I have several and they get worn a lot more than most of my other clothes...

Is it a mens coat? Doesn't that make it a bit boxy?

It's unisex with a straight cut, the XXS fits me perfectly across the shoulder seams, which I think is key bish. It doesn't look boxy on me got no breasts, is also perfect length, just below bum.

Thanks frugal, I do think I'll wear the nuts out of it
And not inwardly groaning at every rainy day and being old and wet has to be worth it, right?

*cold. Though also old.

I bought a Didrikson recently as I was fed up of being wet so I get why you bought it ..

Thank you rooty. Trying to keep my hands off my wallet now I love it, but I already have one I like so I shouldn't even though I live in one of the rainiest parts of the UK …or should I?

you should if you can afford it! it is the cheeriest object I have seen in years, and the reactions to it are amazing!

I love them. Have seen before and nearly ordered but worried about sizing

I'm going for Isle Jacobthingy instead

The have UK stockists Sauce, def Birmingham and London if you're in/ near either. Or if you're near Oxford you can try mine on

Oh Rooty I wish I was. I'd bring the biscuits and coffee and admire your raincoat

what do you think

I'd prefer dark navy or military green

I want a cape now after looking at that link OP.

Nananananananananana BATMAN!
Of course, I wouldn't actually say it aloud, just in my head and swoosh around a lot.

Lovely! Showerproof though - is this sufficient for Britain's eternal monsoon? Or is this just a description they have to adhere to if it's not military grade?

I cannot see the colour options you mention div

Oooh good more admirers for my coat
