HELP ME FIND A MACINTOSH OR FUNKY COAT WITH HOOD PLEASE!

[Rumpel]

I live in very wet Scotland.
I need a raincoat (brollies no use) an
d would like a bright red shiny mackintosh but am open to suggestions. Needs to be at least thigh length and a bit quirky.

TIA

What about Red Mac, I live in Scotland aswell and I walk the school run and a good rain coat is as important as knickers

I live in Scotland too, and I wlak from the Queen St station to work every day, and I am desperate for a decent waterproof that won't make me look like a hiker. (not that there's anything wrong with looking like a hiker - just not in Buchanan St!)

The only problem wiht that shiny red mac is that you'd look like a stripper

Is This, Boden Cloudspotter too obvious/expensive?

Feck, not too expensive compared to the red mac obv..

or a lovely juicy apple...yum i am in scotland as well and it is truly minging today isnt it?

i ahve the cloudspotter from last winter. I ahve worn it twice because it is shapeless and I feel stupid being covered in bog green spots on a purple background.

If anyone wants it I will be so glad to offload pass it on.

Boden

red and purple patterened

Apols for typos. My brain thinks I am still breastfeeding at the computer.

MrsB I like the way you rummage.

sell it on ebay

I looooove this but have forced myself to make do with a boring old cheap regatta raincoat .

Helena Bonhamcarter, that was my worry too. I want a mac that is properly rain proof, - cloudspotter mac looks nice but i might feel like a 6 year old girl in it... it is a bit girly wirly pudding and pie. or sumfink like that.

actually DH did point out that it is merely water repellant, the old spoilsport

She's right, y'know!

Ooer, v nice but ££ for a poncho, I bet it isn't very waterproof and can you move your arms?

Mags yes it is a bit conspicuous. I got a nice one from Gudrun Sjoden last year and so did my friend, she kept hers, mine was too big, it is wearable and waterproof and I hate my Boden one

Sadly GS have got different patterns this year and about £100 for it which I am not doing.

Have got a nice proper macintosh coat, and am hopefully getting Boden hat to go with it as no hood.

Hmm RED MAC is gorgeous but way too expensive. Looked at Boden but am a bit . Love the poncho but it does say 'shower'. We don't really get winter 'showers' in Scotland LOL!

I'm currently eyeing up a lovely purple parka:

Bu t not sure if it will be waterproof enough - don't get me wrong I don't venture too far - just a little walk with DCs but can take ages due to their age.

hmm try again

Yep that's the one. I do love parkas - was madly infatuated with a Mod in first year - he was in 4th.

Focking weird pics on hre., Kimono mac anyone?

Then we have the Katymac

Someone shoudl tell her!
It's lovely shape. Just too blardy expensive.

Wow, well if it didn't keep rain out at THAT price I'd return it on foot.

If you really are HBC I love your style and would love to be able to buy the house next door so DH and I could LTA like you and your DH - so much simpler.

I used to have a crushed velvet swing coat like that - beautiful.

I've just boought a really good mac from Primark. Someone on mn recommended it last year and I was too late, so snapped one up this morning! I'll try and find link.
