I love this, should I buy it? Slim, tallish, angular looking, short hair,

Yes! It's gorgeous.

Nerf · 28/08/2014 22:35

Thank you! Looks loads better in real life and on. A sort of sexy, vibrant green.

I love the style and the colour but the actual material................Confused
I'd need to see it IRL .

I think it would look raggy and matted within a few weeks. Fine for a bit of throwaway fashion though.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/08/2014 16:14

Don't like it, sorry. But if you love it and can afford it without your children starving, then buy whatever you like! :)

Dolallytats · 29/08/2014 16:31

No, you will look like Chewbacca!

I almost like it. But then I see this.

Grin @ tethers

You'll have weirdy people stroking your coat BTW (think of Hugh Dennis "Milky Milky" Man mwah ha ha )

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 29/08/2014 16:45

It looks warm and cosy, but it's the sort of thing I'd keep at home to throw on when it's chilly in the evenings, not wear out and about, it looks a bit shapeless but you might be able to carry it off if you are tall and slim.

SofaCanary · 29/08/2014 16:45

It's...unusual Grin

DaftSkunk · 29/08/2014 17:37

I like it. I'm just waiting for this to arrive.

Merel · 29/08/2014 17:45

If you like it and can afford it, then I don't know why you need to ask.

Personally I'm not fond of it, but that shouldn't stop you.

LividofLondon · 29/08/2014 18:13

LOL Tethersend! Grin

Nerf I'm really undecided. I sort of like it, then I think it's shapeless and not particularly flattering, but if someone bought one for me I'd probably love wearing it round the house and maybe dog walking. Not sure about other occasions though. But, if you like it and can afford it, then buy it and enjoy wearing it Smile

Of you have lots of cats (at least 50) maybe.

Nerf · 29/08/2014 18:58

Gosh you lot are hard!
I am in agreement however - I think you would have to maintain 'a look' and not just jeans and a tee.
Sooooo, I can afford it despite being an active participant on the debt thread, due to birthday mall vouchers and so I bought this:
