Coats for boys. Is there such thing as a nice one?

[PeaMcLean]

I don't know what I want. I just know that it's impossible to get something that doesn't look deathly dull or revoltingly cheap.

Needs to be warm. With a hood.

Have you tried going to an outdoor shop like Millets?
I got a really warm, fleeece lined waterproof coat for ds, very reasonably priced, and actually looks quite cool....if you like the 'just about to climb a mountain look' ...which I do!

How old?

yes yes Baby Gap have some lovely ones atm!

these ones. they don't sell online, but UK stores stock the same stuff. saw these in there the other day and tyhey're lovely

I got DS a lovely big, cuddly jacket from Zara for £12 on Saturday. They do it in navy or red (we opted for red) - it's like a classier version of a puffa jacket with grey fleecy lining, very roomy and cosy looking, super warm and lovely. Also got him a lighter jacket - a grey and black checked raincoat - also for £12 from Zara. Bargain.

DS is 3 yrs old, btw.

To be really, really cool, the ONLY coat a small boy needs is a parka. With a fur-lined hood. Our DSs have millions of em.
