How many coats do you have for autumn /winter?

[pinipol]

I like to have 4-5 as if I wear the same one daily I feel like people think I'm wearing the same thing as you can't see underneath.
What about you?
I'm looking for another as we speak

This thread makes me want to order lots more coats

I think the last time I counted, I got to 19. In my defence, I’ve had some of them 30-odd years and only 4 of them were bought new.

1 black down puffer from Trespass

1 yellow waterproof hiking jacket from Trespass

Where do you people store all these coats? I am amazed!

Undercover yes that’s what I’m wondering too!

Last week I took about 8 to charity cos I felt like I had too many. I have:-

M&S navy quilted jacket with concealed hood - v warm but the hood is shit

Tesco dark green fur lined parka with hood - also v warm

Matalan navy anorak thing - light weight

Denim jacket

Ancient Burberry rain coat in black with the checked lining. I can never part with this! Cost me £500 twenty years ago but I've lost the belt

I am eyeing up a mustard quilted jacket in Tesco but I am resisting as I'm really trying to minimise my wardrobe. Shoes are next to be culled!

Over my 60 odd years, I have accumulated an embarrassing number of clothes in general. Some are inherited, some I've bought new, and some have been swaps and second hand. Some are warm, some are waterproof, one is both warm and waterproof, and others are/were irresistible. Are we counting jackets too, or just coats?

Oh please not jackets too - that really would be embarrassing.

I'm addicted to coats. So is my father so I think it's genetic. I try to buy good quality that will last but wait for sales etc as much as I can.

Some of my coats are very much 'work related' as until recently, I did a lot of travel in 'incremental weather' to visit clients so needed to look the part but stay warm / dry. Well, that was my excuse anyway!

-Geox blue short puffa jacket
-Red lightweight puffa with hood
-Navy quilted belted Barbour (rarely wear as it is neither waterproof nor very warm)
-Knee length black Jack Wolfskin puffa jacket (really warm but very unflattering on my small frame. Want to replace with something equally warm but more stylish.)
-10 years old Hobbs Mac (which is a very flattering cut but is now distinctly worn and fraying at sleeves)

In my defence I live in Scotland and we wear coats A LOT!

Seasalt tiller raincoat for cool weather, berghaus parka for cold weather and a smart Laura Ashley coat which rarely gets worn because it keeps me neither warm nor dry. It probably doesn't even fit me, at the moment.

One. From Lidl last week, waterproof padded one with a hood for £16.

3 wool coats in different colours but I still need a warm parka for this winter.

Real proper woolly coats - I have an olive one from hush from last year. One navy boden coat with quirky red buttons. I also have a faux fur coat. The rest are all jackets/parkas/raincoats.

3

A big puffa, a light north face and a nice one.
I can't even afford a new jumper let alone a new coat

I have:
Biker jacket

Another rain coat (mustard colour)
Black fitted trench coat

Oh, I lie, 4 I have a black sheepskin one from a few years ago

= 10 and I wear them all!

1 short vintage fox fur coat
1 short shearling and cashmere coat
1 cropped Juicy Couture coat jacket
1 Barbour
1 Ralph Lauren puffa type jacket
1 aquascutum trench

Most of these are 4yrs+ old.

Need: new puffa, a parka, maybe a new Barbour

I have more coats and jackets than knickers.
I’m not quite ready to list them yet as I’m still in denial.

We mustn’t talk about boots...
