Just a heads up that Protected Species coats are currently on Secret Sales. I had a commuter coat for £43!!! (Showed as £62 but was less again when I checked out) I've fancied them for ages but wouldn't pay the full price Smile

Ooh.

I love Protected Species - they are truly excellent . I have 3!

The winter parka ( warm AND waterproof)

The Parka ( long bum covering perfect for autumn and spring)

And a short coat ( city walker) waist length.

They are fabulous quality

I'm glad you love them missfliss, I've been after one for ages, I hope it fits.

I can't believe the mega bargain I've just got!!

Thank you! I got 3% cash back via Quidco too

This makes me sad. My husband bought me one at full price for Christmas. It was a real luxury, something special. I feel absolutely conned.

Trumpton · 18/01/2020 08:11

@Hoolajerry They are absolutely special !
I have the parka and I noticed that this one reduced has the same pale lining as my 2 year old one ,
I think they are putting ,much nicer, darker linings in now .so these might be old stock but none the worse for that .

LaCerbiatta · 18/01/2020 09:34

Ordered! Have been tempted for years!!

TeaAndBisquits · 18/01/2020 09:36

What a bargain!! I got mine when they were half price, but the price they're going for on Secret Sales is AMAZING!!

Barney77 · 18/01/2020 10:27

How do they come up size wise? I am a 6-8 so obviously they have a 6 or a 10 in stock 🙄

Purchased! Thank you. I too have been looking at them for ages. Excited.

ClientQueen · 29/01/2020 08:05

Anyone else's order been cancelled? I just got an email Sad

ArtieFufkinPolymerRecords · 29/01/2020 09:32

Mine is still showing as order confirmed. What did you order?

ClientQueen · 29/01/2020 10:02

The commuter in olive

ArtieFufkinPolymerRecords · 29/01/2020 10:16

Oh I ordered the parka in grey.

ArtieFufkinPolymerRecords · 30/01/2020 12:41

I have had an email to say mine has been dispatched.

teta · 30/01/2020 13:08

Yes, mines been cancelled too, the same khaki commuter. Secret Sales have done this to me so many times. I knew there was a reason why I hadn't ordered anything from them for years .

LaCerbiatta · 31/01/2020 21:24

I've just received mine. Ordered a 10 but it's a bit tight... It's the parka in grey. I've tried to check if they sent the correct size but there isn't one?? only a number 2.
Do they usually say the size and does anyone know what a no2 means??

I'm sometimes a size 12 in trousers but really a 10 for everything else and most definitely coats:(

albicocca · 31/01/2020 22:02

I've just received my parka too. I ordered a 12 it is a '3' on the label.

LaCerbiatta · 01/02/2020 07:42

Thanks for that. I always thought they came up big but looks like not so much!

Orcadianrythyms · 01/02/2020 08:44

My order was cancelled too - they've had my money for 2 weeks before cancelling as and it will be says before they pay it back. An absolute rip off - how can an online retailer not know how much stock they have!! I assume they make interest on our money which we'll all get back? A
At least it saves me money as I'll never order from them again.

ArtieFufkinPolymerRecords · 01/02/2020 10:22

Do they usually say the size and does anyone know what a no2 means??

If you look at the size chart posted by Trumpton, size 2 is 10-12 and size 3 is 12-14.
I'm 8-10 and ordered size 10 (so received size 2), I find it quite roomy so could wear a warm jumper underneath, but as it's very straight a smaller size would definitely be tight around the bum.

Scabetty · 01/02/2020 19:10

Got my grey parka today. I usually get size 2 but this was shown online as a 12. It is a Size 3 but not too big. Happy with it but the hood is under a velcro flap whereas other styles is zipped. I guess it is an older style.
