A coat so beautiful, I'd feel embarrassed to be such an empress in it

[Wh1stles]

I just might buy it

I've been looking at hobbs coats and ted baker coats but this is just another league. anybody have one? ARe they warm?

Eurgh that soft touch plastic one looks like you've stitched together some of the huge bags from Romford Market

Here's a Jaeger one:

They also do a lovely shorter version and a similar one in a candy blue colour.

It's lovely, treat yourself, you're worth it !

A bit expensive for a duffle basic coat. The gob on the model wearing it! Does that actually help sell things these days?

Lovely colour, and I'm sure the fabric feels beautiful, but it does look a bit generic and ordinary.

The model looks like her mum has taken her ipad off her! lol

I agree the sleeves look too short, which could get very annoying. OP I would try it on in person before asking Father Christmas for it, if that's what you were planning, as you might end up disappointed.

I was expecting something amazing, but it's just a normal, not very interesting red coat. For £850! You have got to be kidding.

I don't like it (mainly the back), it's very generic and nobody will know it's expensive unless you tell them.

It's a bit meh for £850

The jaeger one listed by PP is much nicer

I've got a Jaeger soft grey one that I paid around £300 for about 10 years ago, and it's as beautiful today as it was the day I got it. The wool is uber soft, it never creases and makes you feel amazing to wear. I look forward to winter every year and wearing it. But £850 . I wouldn't spend that on a colour - grey or black, maybe. That's going to be tough one to just throw on, I'd imagine.

Meh as well

It's a bog standard wool coat.

Hate the neck as well.

It's nice, OP - lovely details - but I'd be expecting Joseph's coat of many colours for that price!

It's nice, , but not £850 nice IYSWIM?

it is very beautiful, but have you noticed the arms are deliberately too short, as a fashion statement? that would piss me off (tall)

but maybe you are short of arm, or like cold wrists, or the cold-wrist style statement?

It is a gorgeous coat otherwise

Aren't the sleeves a bit short? It looks a bit like she's wearing a children's garment

The one in colour red sky?

FC coats tend to be really good

I'm gobsmacked at the price! Who the fuck lays that for an ordinary short wool jacket coat?!

I once bought a Monsoon full length wool cardigan for £100. I thought myself very daring. I never wear it.

I love it OP! I would buy it if I had the funds.

PS what is it with all these models looking depressed?

erm....it's okay but nothing special.

What do you think to this op?

I don't like it. It looks very ordinary and boring.

I think it looks lovely but I'm not keen on the buckles on the sleeves. I also really dislike the little gold Burberry badge on the back of the coat.

It's really tacky looking.

The model looks ridiculous. I think she needs to see a chiropractor.

sorry op it looks shapeless just like the model
