oh but are you a gorgeous japanese woman? if not you might buy it and still be disappointed

My westie has a parka!

My dh has the Ted Baker one - it's gorge. Was only £195 iirc.

How about uniqlo
Although I just had a quick look and couldn't see anything on website but sometimes they have different stuff in store to the website.

Olive green
Quite cool, but not in green.

beansontoast · 01/10/2008 21:00

teh second one is just the sort of colour im after...but i am after a more matte finish.

The black one is pretty nice ...but i am determined to shun black!

mehgalegs - god i love that website! never heard of them and some gorgeous stuff. have a slight fetish obsession for interesting hosiery and love the patterned ones on there. and the granny boots. and loads of stuff. thanks so much!

mehgalegs · 02/10/2008 12:20

Aw thanks beans - they are a laugh.

Browntrout - it is lovely isn't it? Some of us have ordered lovely raincoats from them. Mine was too big though so I am hoping to exchange.

Ralph Lauren had a super lush one in dark green, think it was in last years sale though and still quite a hefty price tag! NOt as long as you described either but longer than usual so bit different and had tuck away hood. I wanted it.

have you tried the Gap? Know they don't have website yet. They soemtimes have quite nice ones, but alot have GAP written all over them..
