Parka pricey or cheaper

[placemark123]

I really want a parka and am at the point of my life where I have too much volume and not enough nice stuff, so was thinking of going for the Parka London Marni one but then saw Asos own brand one with a lovely shape for £55... anyone got a Parka London one and if so what do you think?

At this point am I better off waiting for eg whistles and Zara etc to get their winter stock in?

Parka advice please

It's certainly worth paying for cut and quality, but not necessarily for a label IYSWIM. The Marni one looks nice enough but I'd expect something more for the price (even though it's already heavily reduced).

I've got a Parka London parka from a few years back - also a sale purchase - and I'm still really pleased with it. It's washed well and has a handy removable warm lining so can be worn in different seasons. I always find ASOS own brand a bit hit and miss for quality but could be worth buying both with a view to returning if they don't suit.

Jigsaw have a lovely one in their sale - reduced from £199 to £135.

I have a Parka London Thelma parka. Bought the previous winter. I spend a lot of time stood on the sidelines watching DS play football so I needed a coat that was practical.

It's warm, water resistant, not too bulky and I like the fact that I can un-zip and take off the fur trim around the hood.
