about to splash out on a didriksons coat. Do they last?

[BlueTitsRock]

or will they look tatty after a year or two? I need the coats to look decent a good 4-5 years of I am spending £180.

Yes, definitely. I had my old one for years and only got rid of it because I really wanted a new one! I replaced it with my current one 2 or 3 years ago and it's still going strong. Looks as good as new. It's completely waterproof and very warm too. I love Didriksons.

thanks!

Mine started going into tiny holes around the end of the cuffs very quickly - within a few months, I would say.

Other than that, it was absolutely fine, but the cuffs did annoy me.

I've had mine for about 8 years. It's red and the colour has faded a bit. Other than that, it's in pretty good nick.

I've had mine at least 8 years.Friend thought it was new the other day.Use it all through the winter and have had many dog walks in it.Just bought a new M&S puffer type coat because I'm bored of it but will still be using it for muddy walks.

YES! My old Didrikson wore very well. The cuffs did get a bit thready at one point but I was able to sew them a bit and they looked fine. My only gripe with my old Didriksons coat was the cream teddy fleece hood lining. I felt it looked a bit grubby despite washing after a couple of years. My new Didriksons has a navy blue non-furry hood lining and it looks smarter. Best coats I have ever owned. I love Didriksons!

I bought one on mumsnet recommendation but I live in the south and it hasn't been cold enough to wear last winter so at this rate it will last forever....

Nice coats. Is it just me though, on their website they don't show any prices, what's all that about. I can only see prices on a 3rd party site like Zalando.

one I see the prices. left top of the page under the product name.

I got this last year. From Asda! It is so cheap but so war and totally waterproof. Lovely fit. I tied a load of expensive coasts on and ended up with the cheapest. They aso do it in grey.

It’s as good as an Arctic Parka IMHO.

Sorry for all the typos, 🙄

I’ve had both of mine for about 8 years, they’re still going well, not tatty at all. I’ve been thinking about re-waterproofing my thinner rain coat one (Thelma?) as it let’s in some rain around the shoulders at times.
