The collar is removable and has a normal collar which matches the coat material underneath.

It's too short for my liking, I like a coat that covers my arse. I quite like it though, it looks good on that model in an "I borrowed my lumberjack boyfriend's coat for the evening" way.

It's not my cup of tea.

YouDriveMeCrazyButICanDoThatMyself · 21/11/2025 17:59

The colour puts me in mind of chocolate limes -sorry!

PodMom · 21/11/2025 18:13

It looked very flattering on if that helps 😆

It's giving Colorado mountains lesbian vibes to me, which is not a look I dislike.

WildCherryBlossom · 21/11/2025 18:22

I really like it. It wouldn’t suit me but I can definitely picture it on one of my DDs, worn with wide leg jeans and trainers.

Tusktusk · 21/11/2025 18:22

I like it.

trainedopossum · 21/11/2025 18:29

It’s cute but it’s 89% polyester so I’d be prepared for bobbling. (To be fair I don’t wear polyester and not everyone is bothered about it.)

I do give off (incorrectly) total lesbian vibes I think, cuffed jeans, nose ring, people do make assumptions 😆. Guess I’ll be adding to the overall look if I buy this.

Love it!

HundredMilesAnHour · 21/11/2025 18:39

Nope. I think those colours combined with that style will date badly and quickly. And it’s almost entirely polyester yet described as a “wool blend” and priced accordingly! Don’t step too close to any naked flames. 😜

Yeah, I’d rather it was a bit more expensive and a bit more wool. OB is always daft prices for not great quality so I’m not expecting great things from it.

I really like it, it's a style and colours I'd Def wear.

Floisme · 21/11/2025 19:07

I like the shape and the colours but they’re taking the piss describing it as ‘wool blend’.

I’m not as against polyester as some posters are but I think they should at least be honest about it,

deeahgwitch · 21/11/2025 19:37

How can Oliver Bonas call that a coat !!!!
It’s a jacket.
And not an attractive one at that.

That was my first thought too. Sorry OP, I don't like it at all.

HundredMilesAnHour · 21/11/2025 22:36

The M&S one from @evilharpy is much better, or at least less offensive. And 40% cheaper. And has a higher wool content (although is still more polyester than wool).

I don’t understand why how the OP can even be considering the OB one given that she’s also written “OB is always daft prices for not great quality”. Makes zero sense.

WeirdyBeardyMarrowBabyLady · 21/11/2025 22:38

I like it

Because I’m viewing it as a fun /fast fashion piece I guess. I know I would not be buying a quality investment piece. And I have more money than sense 😆

Depends how tall you are, those style of coats generally suit shorter people better, they always skimp on the length

Bandersnatchling · 22/11/2025 07:21

It looks fun, but it's the sort of thing you'd get tired of very quickly.

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 22/11/2025 07:33

If the colours suit you then go for it. My 23 year old niece would look amazing wearing it.
How can they call it a coat 🤷🏻‍♀️?

CrownCoats · 22/11/2025 07:33

£100 for 89% polyester is madness. You would basically be wearing a plastic bag. It won’t keep you warm, it will go really bobbly in no time, and it will look shiny and cheap.

It probably cost £2 to make.

halfandhalfchipsandrice · 22/11/2025 07:55

It's a jacket, not a coat.
