Boden - check. High price - check. 100% polyester - check.

Maybe this is just brilliantly designed S&B clickbate😂

measurey · 29/02/2024 19:34

Ugly and clown like. 350....mind boggles

Workingmytickettoparadise · 29/02/2024 19:35

Haha no click baiting here! I am genuinely shocked at the price given you could probably put that money towards something better.

It's awful. But most things are from Boden.
What's S&B?

Nearlyadoctor · 29/02/2024 19:36

Dry clean only as well

iwafs · 29/02/2024 19:37

I’m surprised there is a market for stuff like this at such a high price.

mynameiscalypso · 29/02/2024 19:38

It's the kind of thing I'd be tempted for if it was £80 or something and then never wear it because I looked ridiculous in it and would end up in a bag for a charity shop.

I see your Boden mac and raise you the Chloe vomit parka. A snip at £600 in a sale.

Picture didn't show but it is vile!

Oh Christ! I quite like it! That's it, for me. I have officially lost my way!

TheMildManneredMilitant · 29/02/2024 19:55

whiteroseredrose · 29/02/2024 19:44

I actually don't mind that one and if it was £30 from Sainsbury's I might chuck it in my trolley. But £2k RRP??

Ha that’s what I was going to say, read the book today! @SorrowsPrayers i like it too but “premium Italian fabric” is not 100% polyester. Not what I’d want to wear in spring anyway.

Supersimkin2 · 29/02/2024 21:48

It’s nice. Very wearable with jeans and neutrals and it would look an awful lot better than a zip-up jacket.

Sainsbury’s will do a version for £40.

Agreed. It's quite nice, much nicer than a dreary black or grey zip up jacket. It's just not worth £350. It doesn't look as if it costs £350. Around £80 at most.

Marchintospring · 29/02/2024 22:43

I love them both.

I mean I wouldn't spend £350 let alone £600 on a coat that's going to be out in the wind and rain anyway but I like the idea.

DramaAlpaca · 29/02/2024 22:49

It's €450 if you're in Europe. €450!! And it's hideous.

ThePoshUns · 29/02/2024 22:50

That is hideous

EXACTLY!

ZaZathecat · 29/02/2024 22:53

I quite like it and would definitely buy it if I saw it in a charity shop for £5

stickybear · 29/02/2024 22:54

I'm so confused by Boden these days. I saw one of their ads on Instagram earlier and would've sworn it was for their kids range as the model was in a jumper with lemons all over it and rainbow stripes trousers, but no it was the women's range! I don't know who buys this stuff but someone obviously does as the comments were all effusive in their praise and asking when the trousers would be back in stock as apparently they've sold out. Didn't Boden used to be very classic, Kate Middleton-esque, or am I misremembering?!

closbang · 29/02/2024 22:56

How is ANYTHING from boden more than £300????

closbang · 29/02/2024 22:56

(And I quite like the coat)

IHaveNeverLivedintheCastle · 29/02/2024 23:15

These are the same idea , but much, much nicer.

The Avoca one is beautiful and far better made. See how the pattern on the back seam is properly lined up. The Avoca coat is 100% wool, fully lined in viscose and only £70 more. I've got a multi coloured wool jacket from Avoca. It's at least 6 years old, gets lots of wear and is as good as new.
