although the Boden coat gets a thumbs up, i notice it's the one without the falling off buttons

I would also like to bring this to your attention. It's great, but I had to send it back as I am just too damn short to carry it off.

i hate my boden one now, very useful but vvvvvvvv boring.
but it just keeps on raining
am tempted by the TS one

TS do some great coats in between all the weird stuff for twelve year olds. I missed out recently online on a gorgeous 'plastic' navy one with big buttons and, more importantly, a hood.
