Quilted jackets

[CormorantStrikesBack]

I have just ordered one from Mint Velvet which I tried on and liked and then regretted not buying. I'm just not 100% sure they suit me being kind of boxy fit/short as I'm only short myself. Anyone seen any others which are nice?

Woah that is expensive! I got one for £8 at a charity shop but spotted a pastel mix one at Asda the other day for less than £30.https://direct.asda.com/george/women/coats-jackets/floral-quilted-patchwork-cropped-jacket/GEM1104602,default,pd.html?cgid=D1M1G20C6

The Asda one is nice, doesn’t look like it fastens though. I like that the mint velvet one does even if just with ribbons

@CormorantStrikesBack you could see some ribbons for next to nothing.

I don't like the Asda one really, I think they should be more roomy. I've just ordered a couple from next, will return one or both if I don't like them on. I saw a girl in the mint velvet one in Covent Garden on Friday and she looked amazing.

It did look nice on I have to say. For me personally the colours of the Asda one wouldn’t suit me. Will go and look at Next now.

I tried the Asda one on it was really skimpy and I couldn't get it off my arms without difficulty. Also very short in the body.

Can you link to the Next ones? I couldn't see any when I looked. The mint believer one is nice but a bit spendy for what it is.

I'm obsessed with the Carleen ones but they are crazy expensive: https://www.carleen.us/2024?category=Outerwear I got one on Verstaire for £100 last year and it is gorgeous, my most worn item

Don't worry I've found some!

I do like this from Oliver Bonas. Not sure how useful it is with the current weather

I’d like this one more if they hadn’t mixed and matched the fabrics, I’d like it all blue on one side and all white on the other

@CormorantStrikesBack oooh, I really like that jacket from Next. I'll add to my list. Thank you for surfacing it.

I've ordered one from Etsy but it's more to wear for an evening. So not as practical as the mint velvet one as that looks thicker and warmer
Here is a link
They have a lot more colours

No problem, it is really nice and if I hadn’t seen the mint velvet one I’d probably have bought the Next one.

Etsy has some beautiful ones but I’m a size 16-18 and worried about sizing. Reviews all seem to say you need two sizes bigger than you’d expect

I've got 3 or 4 from Monsoon over the years - look great with a plain white tee and jeans. They seem to have 2 or 3 every season, suggest checking Ebay.

Yeah that's the tricky thing with Etsy. I love the mint velvet one and whilst pricey it's an investment piece.
Can keep an eye out on vinted also

I made my own by cutting out and sewing a quilted throw I bought in TKMaxx. I’m a size 18/20 and I think it looks ok on me. I’ve certainly received lots of positive comments when I’ve worn it.

@CraftyIrishMamma wow that is lovely I wish I was that talented.

Great British Sewing Bee did a great episode on sewing your own quilted jacket - Series 8 episode 4. I was all envy!

Can’t decide about this. Any thoughts? Like the Mint Velvet one best. But pricey.

Ooh is that the M&S one? I’ve been lusting over that

Yeah it is. I’m not 100% sure though!

I do like the M&S one but for me the colour was too near to a denim jacket. And while there’s nothing wrong with that I have a nice denim jacket so just wanted something quite different

I have spotted one in Antopologie with buttons @CormorantStrikesBack. It’s pretty expensive at around £120 I think.
