Faux fur coat??

62 replies

emsyj · 09/12/2014 10:50

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced faux fur coat?? I would ideally like something with long sleeves, with or without a collar, uniform fur all over (i.e. no fabric embellishments etc - all fur) and maybe hip or bum length (nothing cropped). I can't go shopping to see one in real life so just wondered if anybody has seen one that feels nice and is heavy and warmish... TIA Smile

I want this one - it's lovely and soft in the flesh.

I second the Tesco one. I have it and love it. Lots of compliments and then disbelief when I say where I purchased.

emsyj · 09/12/2014 12:32

Many thanks for the suggestions. I have a bit of a 'thing' about leopard print - for some reason I just don't like it, although the shape of both of those coats is exactly what I was after, if only they'd had them in another colour!

I have just ordered this so keeping fingers crossed it's nice in real life - what do you think?? I want it for over evening outfits mostly.

Mmm not keen on the one you ordered. M&S are doing a ridiculously thick silvery white one. I have and love the Warehouse dark grey one. Zara are doing some. Just check the fur is modacrylic. Diff between plush and cheap.

MakeMeWarmThisWinter · 09/12/2014 13:15

The Tesco one just says polyester, but it is very soft irl.

Tk Max have some lovely ones.

I got mine from Zara

emsyj · 09/12/2014 13:28

There's a lovely cream one on Zara but I would be too scared of spillages. I would ideally have liked black but I liked the brown one, is it really that bad? Sad

Have you seen this one from French Connection? I just bought it having seen it here - you can remove the fur, clever!

I like the one you've ordered :)

dexter73 · 09/12/2014 13:45

I'm sorry to say it, but I think the one you have bought looks a bit moth eaten! I think the Warehouse jacket is one of the nicest.

emsyj · 09/12/2014 13:47

Moth-eaten?? Shock

That French Connection one is a bit strange, it looks as though the model is wearing a jacket over a furry dress.

Emsyj - I have seen the Gharani Strok one you have ordered IRL. It is lovely & feels very plush. I can't abide anything that looks like a cheap teddybear.

MakeMeWarmThisWinter · 09/12/2014 15:09

Here's a faux fur expert telling us what to look for here

I'd rather the teddy bear look than something that looks like real fur tbh, I think it's more modern.

emsyj · 09/12/2014 15:21

Thanks Ujayyi - I really like the look of it, and I am not too worried about looking 'modern' as I am old and unstylish anyway!

I prefer the teddy bear look too.

MakeMeWarmThisWinter · 09/12/2014 15:30

Wondering if I've got time to nip to Tesco before picking DD up from nursery now Hmm Grin

SofaCanary · 09/12/2014 16:23

Not a fan of the teddy bear look myself.

The one you ordered is lovely, the rich colour looks so warm and inviting.

Ujjayi · 09/12/2014 16:46

I don't mean Teddy Bear like the modern, almost curly/boucle teddy bear coats...I mean the kind of faux fur which is short pile & cheap looking rather than resembling real fur...Not entirely sure that this clarifies my position!

Susie So So featured a similar one to the Gharani Strok one recently but annoyingly it isn't available online:

I tried it on in store today and it's gorgeous. £50 though.

SofaCanary · 09/12/2014 19:17

Oh, now I love that Matalan one!

Fairyfellowsmasterstroke · 09/12/2014 19:22

DD has this one and it looks lovely.

This has just arrived at my house and it is really nice - also in black
