Yellow fishermans jacket

[PersisFord]

I have just bought my twins little yellow fishermans macs. So cute!! And now I want one too. Quite aside from whether it is unutterably awful to deliberately copy your toddlers' clothes, are these an ok thing for a grown up to wear? There is a nice one in seasalt that I have my eye on......what do you think??

My mum and my DH, who are sitting here, say we will look like 3 little minions. I am ignoring them. If it's cool at 3, it's cool at 35, right?

I've bought the regatta one in old gold. I used Amazon. I also found it on the house of Fraser website for twice the price and debenhams too.
The Amazon reviews are very good and the white piping has a retro feel.

He says it's not thick enough! Teenagers!

I don't mind spending ££. I wish petit bateau did the raincoats for men too

Crag hopper have some yellow men's ones.
Since I've also got the neon thread going, with my yellow coat I am about to be visible from space. I've also just bought bright orange Vans Prison Issue trainers.
My look does tend to the toddler vibe though.

I just got this from sports direct (I'm cheap ) £27.99 www.sportsdirect.com/gelert-coast-jacket-ladies-446234?colcode=44623413&src=google&gclid=CKTJ1uKThM0CFVXNGwod9bQNBA&gclsrc=aw.ds

I have the Regatta one with blue stripy lining, I bloody love it and get loads of compliments. Got mine in The Range of all places!

Ohh, I've had my eye on the seasalt one for ages, just bagged it with the discount, thanks!

You have to do it. It's one of those things you will look back on in horror when they are teenagers

There's such a short time span you can get away with it - do it!

He's the sort of teenager who doesn't care what anyone thinks of him and is quite happy to stand out in a crowd! I think everyone who knows him just expects him to be different. Luckily he's always smiling so no one teases him

Joules have a men's one

Urban Outfitters have a yellow men's jacket available online - £75

Aren't those yellow fisherman coats quite hipster-y these days?

Squoosh for me it's a retro thing - sunshiny, practical,'make me feel happy.
I'm not sure where the boundaries of hipsterdom lie
It's about what suits you I suppose.

I got a version of this from Matalan last year - with a code, I think it was about £20. Will check, see if they still do it...

Bums. They aren't doing it this year. They have this though:

I ummed and aahhed over the topshop one for ages. Wish I'd bought it nos

My DD (age 23) has that yellow Seasalt one. She loves it and it is her go to summer mac. It would appear to be pretty waterproof.

I got the Petit Bateau one in red (although I think it's more orange) and it's fab - really lovely to wear and it gets loads of compliments. This One bought from urban outfitters - BDAYTREATM gives 15% off - think they have in yellow and navy too.

Right, I'm going to get one!!! Thanks everyone!! If you see a frazzled redhead and 2 feral toddler in marching yellow coats....it's us!!!

*matching obviously!!

DD (10) is now officially a Small.
She tried on the Seasalt jacket with anchors and looked extraordinarily cute, just like the Paddington illustrations.
The £100 price tag put me off as I know she's not going to stop at Small, so it was a cheap but cute flowery rain jacket in the end.

OP do you want to look like Paddington??

Yay!

Personally I thnkn Paddington is an aspirational style icon.

Thanks for the red mac tips!
