Oh shit, I don’t hate it.

It’s all over for me, isn’t it?

My DM had bed linen with this pattern on, except in brick reds and browns. Late 80s, possibly early 90s. I have never seen the print anywhere else before your link (I can't think why! 😂)

It's not hideous. It's quite some distance away from being the most hideous thing I've seen on here.

Its problem isn't the design, which is quite nice, but that it's way overpriced. It doesn't remotely look like a £350 coat. Look at the terrible seam matching. If you zoom in the material it looks really cheap. PP who said it'll be on sale in Sainsbury's was spot on.

NashvilleQueen · 29/02/2024 23:34

I like it. It'll be 50% off soon anyway

wizzbitt · 29/02/2024 23:39

I think you get the scooters thrown in too?

I had a coat from Avoca years ago that was wool and a similar pattern.

I can't find a photo but this is similar.

Avoca are good quality and are made of wool.

So a not showerproof trench coat - nah

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

Me too - so fun to throw on over jeans and a plain tee. I love it!

That reminds me of the rain jackets they have in the sale at garden centres.

Babyroobs · 29/02/2024 23:50

I quite like it but wouldn't pay anywhere near that price.

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.

I like the Sahara one . It's not really 'me' but I do like it .

They have been accused of copying Olivia Rubin and having seen this coat I believe it is true. I like the style but out of my price range

Who has been accused? Boden? I assume not Avoca as they've been doing that multicoloured wool for yonks.

Here's Olivia Rubin's take on it. £30 more expensive and cotton with a padded polyester lining.

Its the type of 'jaunty' coat that make Spanish and Italian people double up laughing at our gaudiness and bad taste.

garlictwist · 01/03/2024 03:02

To be fair, the tremch coats are still made in the UK so labour costs are much higher.

Multicoloured trench coat from Boden!
Goforitagain · 01/03/2024 04:52

I quite like it but I wear Seasalt tunics so I have no style anyway, and I'm old. There may be a 20% off voucher somewhere.

Whereismyperiod2 · 01/03/2024 05:12

Looks like something Ms Rachel would wear tbh… No from me.

Navyblueblazer · 01/03/2024 05:33

I would definitely do this instead for 225.

whiteroseredrose · 01/03/2024 07:06

That's cheating @Navyblueblazer. You picked a lovely coat. Nothing to laugh at at all!

Lwrenn · 01/03/2024 07:21

If I wore that I'd never stop singing any dream will do

Sadza · 01/03/2024 07:41

Boden is a riot of overpriced gaudy man made fibres and poor tailoring, feels very dated now. This coat is peak boden. Thanks for sharing!

The first time that was said about something colourful it wasn't funny.

The problem with the Boden coat is it looks cheap. There's nothing wrong with something bright and colourful.

LunaNorth · 01/03/2024 08:15

I wish I could wear the ‘classic trench’.

That one from Sezane is absolutely lovely, but I would look totally shit in it.
