It's hideous. Emperors new clothes spring to mind.

soupfiend · 01/03/2024 08:18

I like it but there are 2 different colours surely, the pictures are of 2 different coats

Lwrenn · 01/03/2024 08:53

@IHaveNeverLivedintheCastle oh bore off, comedy and fashion are personal tastes, I can make any shitty joke I want or wear any colours I like.

Isometimeswonder · 01/03/2024 08:59

I like it. Too expensive though. But I like seeing bright colours in dull weather, cheers me up.
I have a colour clash red and pink raincoat that I love!

Stopwiththedamnrain · 01/03/2024 09:00

If you're going to buy a raincoat it's cheerful and not a very dull and boring beige (shudder!) or navy. However the price is extortionate for a raincoat - would like to know it's made well for that money! Does anybody still buy Boden?

Sainsburys did indeed have something similar last year. But nicer colours. Was £45. Or maybe £40. I bought it 😆

I think sainsburys stuff is actually really nice quality.
I'm too tight for cash currently to spend on new pjs that I don't need but they've lovely jammies in!

Of course you can. Equally I can find your "funny" comment unfunny.

Fuck me, I'd be exhausted pointing out unfunny comments. And quite honestly it wasn't even a joke. Who the hell wouldn't be humming that all day? It was more an observation. Either way hen, you've had your morning excitement. Enjoy your day.

It looks like Elmer

This was my first thought! Definitely Elmer the elephant vibes!!!

Oh I quite like that vomit parka. If it was £30 from H&M.

purpleme12 · 01/03/2024 09:26

Wow I love it! But no I wouldn't be paying £350 for any coat

I'm really sad I missed it now!

Lucked · 01/03/2024 09:28

I also like it but not at that price.

I am quite keen to see one out in the wild so hopefully someone buys it.

This is what I thought too
So why does it have just one colour in the colour options?

Purplecatshopaholic · 01/03/2024 09:29

Don’t like the Boden one. However I absolutely love the Chloe one and would totally buy that (maybe at a more reasonable price right enough!)

LadyEloise1 · 01/03/2024 09:35

It's €420 😮😮😮

Is this the parka? There were 2 colour options but both looked green but different patterns and both seemed to be reversible.

I quite like all of these coats, they're not worth the prices but at least they're not bland, boring and safe.

purpleme12 · 01/03/2024 09:46

Exactly

Love colour

I don't shop there for me. But love the children's clothes for my girl.

Just hope she doesn't start refusing to wear the clothes I choose soon!

Fozzleyplum · 01/03/2024 09:48

Ha! Saw the thread title and knew without needing to check, that it would be about the "Elmer" coat featured on this week's Boden flyer.
Maybe Boden's target customers are now too young to remember him.

It says trench coat?

User478 · 01/03/2024 10:11

I really like it.

I don't have £350 for a coat.

Also the inevitable Elmer comparisons in anything bigger than a size 8...

BarrelOfOtters · 01/03/2024 10:16

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.

You see on me that would look like I'd gone out wearing the dog's blanket.

I'd just look mad, and not in a charmingly eccentric way but in a 'stay away from her' way.

CactusMactus · 01/03/2024 10:36

Boden clothes are not very nice. Unless you are 5 and really jolly all the time.

PeachesWild · 01/03/2024 10:54

I quite like it, I like colour and it reminds me of a dress my Mum had in the eighties.
I'm short and booby and look like Hetty Wainthrop in a beige trench.

Not keen on the Avoca one, the pattern is a bit 'travel rug'.
