I tried this on in Mint Velvet today:

www.mintvelvet.co.uk/blush-zip-collar-coat/coats-gilets/mint-v/fcp-product/6405

I just can't decide about it. I've been looking for something like this which is warmish but light. I've got a down coat for when it's very cold. I want to avoid biker style which is everywhere at the moment. This fastens down the middle which I like.

What do you think?

I really like it but omg not enough to pay that price.

MissAlabamaWhitman · 23/01/2016 19:13

I'm not keen.
It's pretty nondescript and for 'blush pink' it reads rather grey to me.

Sorry but I think you can do better for the price too.

MissAlabamaWhitman · 23/01/2016 19:14

Oh, love the maxmara.

Get that if it'll fit.

OnlyHereForTheCamping · 23/01/2016 19:27

I don't like it but I don't really get mint velvet at all.

Dancergirl · 23/01/2016 19:30

mapless not necessarily, I just don't want biker style!

Glad I posted for opinions, I wasn't 100% sure and it is expensive.

I'm not an 8 unfortunately and in any case I want it to be jacket length rather than coat length.

Maybe a pea coat.....?

I'm not a fan of Mint Velvet but I quite like this, not in black though. And it's expensive for wool/polyester mix.

WilburIsSomePig · 23/01/2016 20:32

I love it, I think it's lovely.

Dancergirl · 24/01/2016 17:25

That's lovely, I'd buy it myself if I wasn't skint!

elephantoverthehill · 24/01/2016 17:32

I quite like it but have you checked out the Jaegar discount website? Someone posted about it on here about 10 days ago. I was really surprised at the prices and really wished I could justify another coat.

Bluecheese22 · 24/01/2016 17:35

I really love it, think it's beautiful.

nooddsocksforme · 24/01/2016 17:36

I saw that mint velvet one irl and thought it was lovely. Way too pale for mw though so had to leave it. Wish MV would improve their colours

Thanks for the Jaegar tip elephant, have just found this:

I think that is quite wow!

Dancergirl · 24/01/2016 17:57

The Jaegar one is only available in a 12 which is my size!

I've got that JO jacket. Gorgeous!

Yseulte · 24/01/2016 19:52

I think it's a bit boring for the price. If I were going to spend that much money I'd want it to be wow.

sooperdooper · 24/01/2016 19:56

It's pretty dull, not my cuppa tea

sooperdooper · 24/01/2016 19:57

Only just spotted the price, don't think it looks that expensive

73dexter · 24/01/2016 20:05

The Jaeger jacket is lovely!
