Simple as that. Any opinions, I can't decide...

The link appears to just lead to my own shopping bag on boden.

Oops, x-post

Nospringflower · 03/02/2017 13:03

I'm not keen.

NatalieRushman · 03/02/2017 13:04

Not keen on the piping, but if you were set on it, looks best in navy.

This one any better?

Might be too young for me anyway... just reminds me of a jacket I had in that style but it was a grey/black colour, and I loved it. One of the items that makes me regret ever throwing anything out Grin

The boden jacket is a bit too Sgt Pepper for me due to the shape and the piping. I much prefer the Next one.

FallenSkies · 03/02/2017 13:12

Personally I prefer the next one

JournosAreLazy · 03/02/2017 13:12

I have a jacket similar to the Next one and it gets loads of wear every Spring/Summer - it goes with tons of things. So handy to throw on.

Fab, I'm coming around to that way of thinking too, and doesn't do it any harm that it's significantly cheaper... Thank you.

I prefer the Next one too

SumAndSubstance · 03/02/2017 13:54

Another vote for the Next One. I don't like the piping or the buttons on the Boden one.

imjessie · 03/02/2017 13:58

Navy , too military otherwise .

neveradullmoment99 · 03/02/2017 20:18

Mint velvet do one:

mint velvet

RebelandaStunner · 03/02/2017 20:35

Joseph Stalin's jacket.
Not keen.

58NotBothered · 03/02/2017 20:39

Boden - NO. Horrid.

58NotBothered · 03/02/2017 20:40

Next - NO.
Do you want to look paramilitary?

58NotBothered · 03/02/2017 20:42

Mint Velvet - need I say more.
Is there a faschist look these days?

MargotLovedTom1 · 03/02/2017 20:43

Well unless OP plans to team it with a balaclava I don't think it'll look paramilitary Grin . Definitely the Next one.

hugoagogo · 03/02/2017 20:45

It is a great look and a big fat YES to wanting to look like a paramilitary AND to wearing Joseph Stalin's jacket. Grin

elQuintoConyo · 03/02/2017 20:46

That Boden one is well moosey Confused

I like the Next one.

The Mint Velvet one is a bit... meh.

TheMasterNotMargarita · 03/02/2017 20:50

Really like the Next one.
Boden one is a bit like fancy Dress and the Mint Velvet has too many zips and faff. And I generally like zips and faff Grin.

lazyb0nes · 03/02/2017 20:51

Well I like the Boden one Blush In navy. Might get one.

JournosAreLazy · 03/02/2017 22:14

I live in N Ireland and no one has ever mistaken me for paramilitary when I wear my jacket that is similar to the Next one Grin They wear black jackets anyway

JohnCheese · 03/02/2017 22:57

The Next one. Definitely.

The mint Velvet one is nice but too expensive.

Boden one is a no from me.
