I was tempted by the cloud spotter mac in Boden, but not sure if it's going to be a bit plasticky and shapeless?

I want something pretty and lovely and waterproof and longish for when I am walking to nursery in the rain.

don't relly know where to start looking though

sorry fine!

Flightlite · 20/08/2008 20:09

Yes just checked, it is a 10. There is also a zip which I didn't notice before! So the buttons are an extra I guess. I was wondering how they kept the rain out...

thisisyesterday · 20/08/2008 20:13

it's a shame it isn't fleece lined like last years rainyday jacket.

hmmm, perhaps I'll order one...

did quite like the plain ones but thought the cloud spotter ones had a bit more going for them.

let me know if you find a code!

Flightlite · 21/08/2008 06:38

I still have my purple one with red fleece lining if anyone's interested!

was it plain purple of with spots?

Flightlite · 21/08/2008 11:09

Tis the plain purple. It has a sort of rubbery feel, not shiny like the new ones.

I've only worn it once.

Flightlite · 21/08/2008 11:13

I have added a picture to my profile

Plesase ignore messy carpet!

Rhumba · 21/08/2008 13:45

didn't lok at carpet but am not convinced at all by the purple. Will go back to dithering between clould spotter (better looking, more grrovy) and urban mac (more practical!)

Flightlite · 21/08/2008 13:56

Yes the luminous lining is a bit much as well! Never mind That's why I got the cloud spotter!

brimfull · 21/08/2008 14:56

what size is it flightlite?

do you really want to sell it?

brimfull · 21/08/2008 14:57

clean your bloody carpet btm

brimfull · 21/08/2008 14:57

btw

Flightlite · 21/08/2008 15:24

Ooh! I just wrote a message and it disappeared! Could I have pressed escape with my sandwich?

Do you want it? I only wore it once. It was lovely and comfy and warm, kept the rain out, but I felt silly in purple - just wasn't me. The new one is more - muted, I suppose.

I would be very glad to sell it as I am not going to wear it again and just feel guilty. It is in the hall, watching me.

Make me an offer!

brimfull · 21/08/2008 16:05

what size is it?

Flightlite · 21/08/2008 16:25

Tis a 10.

brimfull · 21/08/2008 17:01

gah!
keep your teeny coat

beeeaaatch!

thisisyesterday · 21/08/2008 18:57

ok, so, not quite Boden, but have just had a message on another forum for me saying that PRIMARK have a lovely dark pinkish/purpley one with a hood.

I might check it out at the weekend. won't set me back £79 either lol

OP posts:
FlightAttendent · 23/08/2008 09:02

Has anyone been watching that one on ebay - currently going for £24.10 I think.

Considering they were only £15 in Primark, they are worth buying simply to ebay

I have not had my Swedish one yet.
I will update when it is here...

mehgalegs · 26/08/2008 16:51

Flight - I have just ordered the gudrunwotsit raincoat. By the time i checked out it only cost £50? Strange.

Will get back with low down when it arrives.
