I tried it on in-store and it's so comfy, soft and warm.

Not too sure though. What does everyone think?

Sorry I think it’s dreadful. And I’m usually quite easy to please.

Ok Jacket, but too short.

Tallzaragirl · 21/11/2024 10:49

Haha fair enough. Can you elaborate?

I can see it's a bit marmite. That's why I'm not too sure.

I know it shouldn't really matter if I like it etc. but I don't want to go around in a coat that everyone thinks is disgusting.

I think it could look nice if you style it, good scarf etc. but what I want from a coat is warmth and something quick to bung on as I'm off out the door. This might be a bit plain?

It's nice!

It looks better in black

Dawevi · 21/11/2024 10:50

It's a horrible colour, and down is cruel so I wouldn't buy it. I don't support animal cruelty.

I didn't know that I did. I don't even know what that means. I just copied and pasted the link 🤷‍♀️

It looks cosy but as with many things, it depends what the rest of you looks like. If you look like a model and the rest of your clothes are spot on, then this coat could look good. If you don't look like a model and any other part of your look is questionable, then it could look like a cry for help.

Basically with this jacket you have to do all the work, especially in beige.

Nikitaspearlearring · 21/11/2024 10:55

I agree about down being cruel. I wouldn't buy it. It's not a nice colour.

SnapdragonToadflax · 21/11/2024 10:58

It's a horrible colour and I don't see the point of puffa jackets that don't keep your bum warm. But otherwise it's fine, it's just a coat.

StormingNorman · 21/11/2024 11:01

I like it OP. I like the camel colour and the shearling collar. And pockets you can put your hands into from the back are the best!

HooMoo · 21/11/2024 11:13

I feel a bit meh about it. Don’t love it but it’s not horrible.

lawlessland · 21/11/2024 11:24

I don't love puffa jackets anyway but would wear one if I was somewhere very cold and outside a lot.

I don't see the point of this one though as it's too short.

IMustDoMoreExercise · 21/11/2024 11:26

I like it and would get it as I am only 5'1. If I was 5'10, I probably wouldn't.

I like the colour too and am surprised that so may people on here don't.

SprigatitoYouAndIKnow · 21/11/2024 11:32

Not a fan of down. Even discounting the cruelty, it is difficult to look after. I accidentally bought one in a charity shop, assuming it was polyester, and there were always little feathery bits escaping. Go for a longer synthetic puffa, you will be nice and warm.

Johaanah · 21/11/2024 11:49

I ordered this in the camel colour, I liked it but it came up so enormous that I sent it back even the sleeves were extra long, and it was way past my bum, if you do decide to buy it size down!

Mumsnet converts links IIRC, that way they gain commission on it.

Olika · 21/11/2024 11:51

It's horrible

Normallynumb · 21/11/2024 11:53

I love a bomber jacket but this looks too puffy for this length
I don't like the colour either sorry

Purplecatshopaholic · 21/11/2024 11:55

It’s better in the black. The other colour is really not nice! Dont like the collar but that’s just me. It’s probably nice and warm but it could look seriously frump- central as it’s just a bit meh. Sorry.

MorrisZapp · 21/11/2024 11:56

I love it, and I have the expensive version this is based on! I have it in a longer length, in olive green. It makes my winter basics (jeans and trainers or jeans and boots) look trendy and dare I say 'intentional'. I get compliments all the time and it's heading into its third winter.

Can you share the version you gave please?

My eyes are bleeding. What a ghastly concoction.

spanieleyes22 · 21/11/2024 11:59

I guess it's practical but even then it's a bit short. What shape are you OP.
