After much searching I recently got this coat

m.zara.com/uk/en/tomboy-coat-p01255011.html?v1=5421528&v2=883035

Which looks amazing on and makes me feel great. But it has bobbled horrifically in just a couple of wears. So it’s going back. But now I want something to replace it (which doesn’t bobbleAngry).

Is there something similar around which is maybe better quality? Doesn’t have to be double breasted. I love the masculine look of it. I’m tall and pretty much up and down so it kind of looked right on me. Gutted I’m back to the drawing board.

There was a stunning one in the white company but I've just checked and there's only size 14 left - it's in the sale

This one is by Uniqlo. Grey and has a masculine vibe.

Thank you rose. That could be a winner! I’ve never bought from uniqlo- I’m a 10-12 would that be a small or medium?

Look on the cos website. Half price sale! Can’t see your link but I just bought a grey boiled wool coat - and the same one in yellow!

Have a look at Cos. I got a grey 100% wool coat from them last year and it has been excellent quality.

I have the Uniqlo coat and it comes up big - I wear an S and I'm a tall size 12. Really happy with it though and I've had it for three months, can confirm no bobbling.

Thank you. I think I may go for the uniqlo one. I’ll try the small as I don’t like things too tight. There’s a lovely coat on the cos website but not in my size. I’ll keep my eye on it.

Ooh! Glad the coat is a posssubility. Trying to find a size chart but if someone already has the coat, that is even more useful!

Uniqlo stuff is great.

...possibility

Thanks to this thread I may just have bought 2 woolen coats from Uniqlo (at least 1 will go back). I have been watching them for a while.

zippyswife · 26/12/2017 14:16

Yes I bought the uniqlo one too. I’m hoping it fits.
