Anyone have a Didriksona Vega or Nancy?

And are you happy with them?

I have a 5-yr old khaki Taylor parka which I love but is looking a bit sad. I’m after a similar Didriksons coat in black, still waterproof and still warm, and I like the look of the Vega and the Nancy.

Any feedback much appreciated!

Connie I found the Nancy on Country House Outdoor for £110 so have ordered to try!

Were you looking at the Lina online or in person? Once of the things I love about the Taylor is the matt/peach finish to the fabric, so want my next one to have the same feel. I can’t remember if the Lina was a bit shinier? They are bloody brilliant coats though.

I have a Nancy, it must be 5 years old. It is warm and very useful. I bought it as a rugby-mum coat and it was great.

I ordered the Nancy, the Lina and the Stacie, in the end / my reviews as follows!:

Nancy - like a cross between my old Taylor (parka) and a down coat. Light and warm but doesn’t feel as indestructible as the Taylor did. Fabric is almost like a microfibre - not as peachy/moleskinish as the Taylor but much more matt than the Lina. Doesn’t look waterproof but I trust it will be! Pockets not as good as on the Taylor but it looks a bit smarter and I think less bulky.

Stacie - definitely more a jacket. Relatively thin and not as long as the other ones I’ve tried - nice though. Pockets were minimal and I don’t think it had an inside one.

Lina - GORGEOUS but bulkier and shinier than I wanted. The black fabric is almost itridescent. It feels more like the Taylor in shape and weight but had a weird reflective thing on the hood that I wasn’t keen on. Felt v warm and cosy though. Great pockets.

I’ve kept the Nancy, in the end, as the Lina was just too shiny for me. Hope this helps someone else!
