That Land's End raincoat Cod recommended...

[MrsBadger]

thus has arrived (sale bargain)...

...and it is not bad at all.
Cut is a bit straight-up-and-down but green colour is lovely.
Tis lightweight enough to be feasibly rolled up and tucked in a bag, roomy enough to get a cardigan under (possibly not a chunky jumper, will test further when am bump-free).
Good price and good returns policy - think they're out of Smalls though.

[this has been a public service announcement, thank you for your time]

you can tell you don't have babies anymore cod

A farking cashmere jumper - very practical.

(and I know 54 quid is cheap for a cashmere, it does not make it a bargin)

bit plain for 54quid...

Mercy, their sizes are pretty generous.
I am a strapping 5'8" 10-12 and the Small coat is a good fit. Their XS is a UK 8, but they never cut skimpy so nothing is ever skin-tight.

I want a raincoat like that but WITH a hood - the Boden one looked promising but is too short - needs to be knee length. And stylish. No hearty Milletwear.
Why is it so hard to find? Do people go out in the rain thinking that as long as their top half is dry it doesn't matter if their legs get wet? Cos I sure as hell don't.

Yep, those are the ones. I have a green one and red vnecked one.

The cashmere tshirt, that is.

For all those looking for a hood how about this hood
