with jeans boots is chic

with tartan skirt and flesh coloured tights is middle ages

I've just bought a similar Barbour and I'm (only) 35.

only allowed if you are living in a georgian villa with a leaking roof and even then it is only thrown on to go and muck out the horses. and it helps if you are called minty or tiggy.

hilariously dd has one of these as a cast off from horsey cousin, she loves it.

ChopsterRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 18/12/2007 14:39

eww, agree - you really have to be horsey

ChopsterRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 18/12/2007 14:40

walkinginawinterBundleland · 18/12/2007 14:40

omg it's disgusting..think u have to be riding a horse to mlike it hunni

Sid · 18/12/2007 15:08

Certain negativity in those responses so far then!
Why do I like it? I'm looking for a warmish jacket to do school pickups in. Do not have dogs/horses/Goergian villa, or children called Minty and Tiggy...Give me some alternatives...(but no cinched waists, which I hate, a la Lands End)

I am middle-aged (45) and would not go near it.

SantaBabyBeenAnAwfulGoodGirl · 18/12/2007 15:15
