How many coats do you have?

[Peopleplease]

Weird question coming into summer but I'm curious!

I have a regular wool type coat, a trench coat, a parka, a dog walking coat & a blazer.

They're all past their best so next year I'm looking to upgrade but I'm wondering how many I actually need.

[Dancergirl]

Ooohh I love coats!

I have:

Grey wool tailored coat (Jigsaw). Very smart and I only wear it occasionally
Long black down coat (Boden)
Burgundy down jacket (Fat Face) - bought this season and have been wearing loads
Brown leather biker jacket (Mint Velvet but Ebay bargain £50 ) - wear it loads in the spring
Denim jacket (Boden)
Grey jersey blazer (Whistles)
Navy blue wool coat (Mint Velvet) - good in-between coat
Mid blue trench coat (Hobbs) - hardly worn

I think that's it. I am now contemplating a gorgeous suede jacket from Jigsaw.

Completely envious of anyone with a Max Mara

[Whathaveilost]

34 + not including blazers!
I have everything from trench coats, max Mara evening coats but my hoard tends to be in winter outdoor activity jackets. I have way too many ski jackets that I love, duvet coats, waterproofs such as Rab, Paramo, TNF etc.

I keep getting them out to cull but I love them them all!

[GwenStaceyRocks]

This thread has made me realise how many I have. I'd never thought about it before:
full-length black wool coat
Finery London burnt orange light wool trench
Boden multi-coloured raincoat
Parka London houndstooth Lara
Black leather coat (like Buffy from BtVS)
lightweight black parka
faux fur jacket
pink waterfall jacket
selection of blazers (navy, black)
grey and white pin-striped waterfall wool jacket
short tweed jacket
Barber short padded jacket

I need some new summer coats tbh. I've dropped 3 sizes since last summer so I'm going to read back through the thread for inspiration.

Too many, I take up the entire coat rack on my own For cold weather, two 3/4-length black felt ones (one classic double-breasted, one slightly gothy/piratey), an olive green parka, a camel-coloured wool duffel (that I hate the colour of) and a kind of blue patterned Noa Noa calf-length cotton canvas one with removable quilted lining and a big hood. I ADORE that coat - it's literally falling to pieces but I can't find anything to replace it For spring/autumn I have a black leather jacket, a taupe hooded cotton jacket, a 3/4-length waxed black/grey rain mac (bought to replace the Noa Noa coat but it doesn't come close), an olive green tartan wool jacket. I do wear them all! But if the NN one was in good nick, I wouldn't bother with any of the others.

Black leather jacket
White leather jacket
Black biker jacket with furry hood

[Aoibhe]

I recently got rid of white, cream, grey, red. I think they were all from h&m over the years.

[Beargrillthus]

I live in a cold place and feel the cold and commute by foot/bike/public transport so about 10-15.

Coat is both needed and "on show" most if the year so makes sense to have some variety and different kinds for different events and outfits ( eg two full length formal ones for nights at the theatre, a Barbour for rain, puffer for walking and commute, and tweedy for everyday errands)

I think I'd cut down if I lived somewhere warmer or drive everywhere. But love em all for now

[Floisme]

Around 20. About half are vintage and I've had some of them 20-30 years. Coats and jackets are my thing. I love the way you can look like crap then throw one on and feel like Jackie Kennedy. They're the best reason I know for living in the UK.

Knee length Al Pacino leather coat (my favourite at the moment)
2 wool coats
Bad weather coat (Hate it but can't find a replacement - tune in this autumn for next installment)
2 lightweight coats (both vintage - one has a Paris label)
Trenchcoat (useless piece of crap - why they're a classic I will never know)
3 Harris tweed jackets (two of them vintage)
2 knock-off Barbour jackets
Leather bomber jacket
Fake leather biker jacket
Wedding / occasion coat (in a light wool crepe. Best thing Boden ever did - I sometimes keep it on all night)
3 velvet 'opera coats' (vintage)
Fake fur jacket
Denim jacket
There may be a couple more
That's not counting blazers and tailored jackets.

[silkpyjamasallday]

3 vintage fur coats
Aquascutum camel coat
All saints wool with leather sleeves
Fur trim reclaimed army parka
Isabel marant tweedy coat

But reading all your lists has reminded me I need a smart waterproof trench coat...

[MirandaWest]

1. Winter coat and summer coat.

[PorklessPie]

A mustard Zara padded jacket with hood
2 denim jackets
A superdry black velvet bomber jacket
Lindy bop fake leather jacket (won £100 voucher and it was in the sale)
5 joe Browns long button up wool coats.
A pink raincoat.
Fake fur hooded joe Browns coat

[usefultoken]

1. 2 cotton summer/spring type coats, 1 smartish, 1 more casual, It's a bench one I've had for about 15 years and us falling apart. 2 winter ones, 1 smartish wool, and 1 big duvet type thing. Ooh, actually it's 5 as I also have a rain mac.

[BestIsWest]

I have

Green velvety sixties style coat (my all time favourite coat)
Pea green pea coat.
Light greeny short trench.
Greeny blue velvet jacket (bit of a green thing going on here)
Green parka
Grey parka
Navy quilted jacket
Another quilted jacket
Navy Waterproof
Blue 3 in one waterproof
Black soft shell
Burgundy biker.
Lightweight cream jacket
Linen navy longer biker style jacket
Various blazers

I don't have the perfect coat for commuting at this time of year though which would be somewhere between the grey parka and the trench.

[Mrs9C]

Forgot my denim jacket and another Primark coat in that mix, make that 17, and counting... I can see a number of others in my wardrobe that I just haven't worn, must charity shop them.

[Mrs9C]

I used to only have one, a Joules quilted one, which I wore for 3 winters solid, washing it on days I didn't go out. Then for some reason I went out and bought all the jackets over the following year, almost to make up for that 'one' jacket. I now have

• around 3 coats, 2 are Primark, one is Ness
  
• 2 leather jackets, both superdry
  
• seasalt rain jacket
  
• ness raincoat (useless thing it is as well)
  
• 4 blazers, 2 Joules, 2 Ness
  
• 2 puffer jackets
  
• a didriksons coat for winter beaches/dog walking
  
• a coatigan, most recent purchase.
  

I've probably missed some out, though my original Joules hardly gets a look in. I still only mostly wear one jacket now, a feather down puffer jacket. Going from 1 to 15 was a bit of an unnecessary jump. I still find myself pining after jackets and coats on an ongoing basis!
