Just as title says - Im after a puffa jacket that will cover my backside....have looked through old messages but nothing comes up recently. Doesn't have to be Arctic warm and preferably waterproof.

I like this Zara one but would prefer a furry hood:

Also looked at North Face as its highly recommended but highly expensive.

Ive also looked on Debenhams website but I don't know the Tog24 brand.....is it any good?

Very appreciative of any recommendations.

I’ve got this one from Uniqlo. It’s lovely and warm.

VeryPunny · 09/10/2017 11:09

I have the same as Wombling. Warm as toast and you can shove it in the washing machine and tumble dryer.

WomblingThree · 09/10/2017 11:43

Ooh does it tumble? I’m glad you said as I’d never dared.

There was a M and S one mentioned yesterday on a thread. Long and lovely in black or red.

I have the joules cadellecott one. Very warm (too warm in this inbewteen weather). I like it and it has good reviews online.

ilovecherries · 09/10/2017 18:10

wombling and/or verypuny. I'm wondering what the sizing is like on that uniqlo one. I'm a 16 with a lot of boob going on. Would I need an XXL do you think?

Sammysquiz · 09/10/2017 19:07

Are you tall? There's some v warm looking ones at Long Tall Sally at the moment.

I just got the Hobbs Liliana puffer in navy: it's possibly the most flattering puffer coat that I have ever found.

Hope this photo works...

Jaeger has some linger Ines with 20% discount at the moment.

shinny · 10/10/2017 07:13

No not very tall.

I like that Hobbs one and found some great ones on M&S after that tip (thanks) but have just stumbled across Dorothy Perkins who have so many that I can't decide. And they're all in the sale!

Any idea on quality etc???

Shinny, obviously biased here, but I don't think you can beat Hobbs for quality; I don't buy their clothing, but for coats and trench macs, they are really very good quality.

I know Hobbs isn't cheap, but you can often find a 20% discount code if you do a google; I got £35ish off that Liliana puffer coat about 2 weeks ago.

VeryPunny · 10/10/2017 10:11

Sorry for late reply - I find Uniqlo sizing pretty accurate, maybe even a bit generous on the coat front, but I am very small of nork!

PandorasXbox · 10/10/2017 17:22

Try Barbour. I’ve got one that I wore all last winter, really warm but not too bulky. Goes to just above my knee.

Jemimapuddleduk · 10/10/2017 17:44

I just picked up a Diane von furstenberg beauty from tk maxx (also on the website). £99 rrp £400. I got the olive but they also stock in navy. It is amazing. Warm, long, detachable fur hood. One of my best ever buys.

WomblingThree · 10/10/2017 23:38

@ilovecherries I’m a 14 with biggish boobs and the XL is just right to get a jumper underneath, so if I were you I’d go for the XL if you just want a top under or the XXl if you want to be able to fit a big jumper in too.

BubblesBuddy · 10/10/2017 23:47

I like the M and S burgundy one. I might buy that!
