Long puffer coat

[andynarwhal]

Has anyone got a sweaty Betty long puffer like this

Is it worth it? I do have a 50% off code for my birthday so makes it slightly less eye watering.

My other option is

www.next.co.uk/g79204s6/424834#424834

Which is less expensive but doesn't have care instructions online so I can't check it's machine washable.

Then I think, I'm a 14 and 5ft 7 is it just going to make me look bulky?

Is a sleeveless version pointless?

Please help! I need something warm and it can be a treat sort of price. I want to look sporty and stylish (is this a thing?!)

Yep, just sign up. It’s 50% off one item only though but still a great incentive.

That next one is raves about on my local FB page which is frequented by the stylish yummy mummies of our city (not sure why I'm on there 😆). Apparently they have just come back in stock after being out for ages though so might have to move quickly. It was said that they are out of stock for delivery already in common sizes but still in stock for store collection.

I’ve just bought a cream one (cream? What was I thinking??!??!) from asos but it’s dry clean only. I would have sent it back but I adore it. I have 2 dirty sticky boys and am terrified to wear it around them so not sure how much wear img going to get out of it.

Ah the next one has sold out, the superdry touchline has also sold out... I thought this was something I could take a few days to choose. Didn't realise the world of comfort was so cut throat!

You are brave! I haven't worn pale colours since 2010 and even then I couldn't be trusted with spaghetti bolognese.

It took me ages to get my Next one last winter. I think there were threads dedicated to it
Check the website early in the morning and you might catch one. Iirc they come up quite generous, so if possible I'd order a couple of sizes and send one back.

Check eBay too for the next one as they sometimes have them.

Also have you checked click and collect for all your local stores?

Rats I liked the next and super dry ones. My birthday in a week, could get the SB one!

Morning! Under pressures of voucher running out and everywhere else selling out I've ordered from Sweaty Betty. I will report back.

I went and tried on the next one in black and khaki and I wasn't too keen on the feel of the lining so that ruled out.

Went completely rogue though and ordered the down puffer from SB

Which at half price is still eye watering but hopefully will be a good investment and it's machine washable

Thanks for all your help!

Looks lovely. Glad you found something

Oh that’s better than the first one you posted. All those pocket details and the side zips really make it for me.
Plus all recycled!
Happy birthday 😁

Ooooo have you got the coat yet OP and do you love it? I've got my eye on that one too!!!

@Thesummeriwas16 not yet I think it's due tomorrow so I'm hoping for a cold snap this week! I'll update

I dont see the difference between the next one and the sweaty betty one.

Tbh if you have a need for a coat like this- you live near the sea where its breezy, spend a lot of time outdoor, feel the cold, then you won't regret it.
