Autograph coat - quality?

3 replies

Considering buying an M&S Autograph coat. I have the budget for something higher end (Whistles etc) but would love to save the money!

That said wool coats can bobble etc so wondered what the quality is like with Autograph.

TIA

In my experience wool blend coats bobble, 100% wool doesn't. I think you need at least 80% wool to avoid bobbling.

I have an 80% wool and a 100% coat, neither bobble and are warm.

Thank you! So it's less an issue with brand generally and more the composition?

I always tend to buy wool blend but perhaps the mix isn't high enough.

You can never know until you see it.

I got an amazing wool coat from Zara a few years ago and I’ve seen many more expensive but worse quality ones since.

I’ve seen lots that were 100% wool but had no living and terrible collars.

Also worth investing in a debobbler, lots of things bobble where your arms rub regardless of how good they are. 2 mins debobbling and it’s good as new.
