Do you like this coat?

Would anyone like to comment on this coat? I kind of like the style but there's something about it not quite right. I love the colour of it.

clicky link to coat here

Alternative suggestions welcome.

Personally, I love it!

It's ok. It looks like the material might be a bit thin.

I really like it but if it were for myself I'd need tighter shoulders - they look a bit sloped

I don't like the wonky collar or the slit/cut-out at the waist.

Love the colour and the cut.

Looks lovely- only thing is from a sensory point of view those things at the back might irritate me if they can be felt through the coat when you're sitting down with your back against a seat.

I like it apart from the skater skirt. Too sticky out for me. Other people would look good in it though. So depends whether you like skater skirts !

I do love Skater dresses but I do worry that I'm too old for them.

I have ordered and will report back about material, buttons etc

Although at that price I don't expect it to be a heavy winter coat.

I do wish Joe Browns and others would put the length of coats etc in the description. It looks shortish which I am ok with but as I'm 5' 4" it might be quite long on me.

It's a beautiful colour and I like the cut of it but the mismatched buttons are really putting me off. I think I'd have to replace them.

Not a fan of the buttons up the back either.

Nope.

I like the colour but the weird cut out and the mismatched buttons are bizarre. Guess that's Joe Browns 'kooky' style but it's not for me.

Replacing the buttons could be a possibility.

I don't mind the milder Joe Browns stuff but I'm 46 and probably too old for it.

Jesus have you seen anything else in that colour probably along the military style?

Sorry but I don't like it at all. It's like it's not quite quirky, not quite classic. Trying to be both which makes it look a bit cheap IMO.

You'd need a waist to wear it.
It's slightly too much detail for me, but if the overall look suits you, I'd go for it.

No, it looks like a mish mash of styles cobbled together. Don't like the mismatched buttons (esp on the back). Material looks cheap and thin (it's mostly synthetic so won't be warm). On the plus side, I like the colour. It puts me in mind of this coat (nice detail on back) which is much nicer (and mostly wool so much warmerer) imho but has a much heftier price tag:

OP The site says your coat is 88cm and states the height of the model for comparison. I'm the same height as you and that coat would be just about on my knee, I believe :)

I really love it but the odd buttons spoil it for me.

Glad you posted the link though, as I love the 'Absolute' coat on the right-hand side, so I've bookmarked it.

Like the colour but that is about all, really hate he buttons. Also I wonder what it would look like it open if you got too hot

That's a good point Lucy will check that out when it arrives.

Sorry that was meant to say "Lucked"

the collar looks thick and its asymmetrical.
i find joe brown's fit longer torso and arms, good for small busts.

Get it and try it! it's nice and a lovely colour. the buttons are cool.

it's meant to be asymmetrical and thick (the collar) but i was just trying to guess what might be off. it looks like one collar wraps/crosses over. try it and see how it fits you.

I don't like the fabric content but I love it!

I love it. Very tempted to order myself at that price.

Just an update to say the coat arrived and for various reasons it doesn't work for me.

1. Feels hard and uncomfortable- reminds me of coats I had as a child which were itchy/prickly.

1. The neck seems to be off centre.

1. Poor quality- ripped lining.

1. Looks cheap.

It's unfortunate as I still like the colour and general style.

My last coat is from Coast so I know it's probably not fair to compare it to it. However I also have a less expensive Jane Norman coat too which is better made and more comfy.
