Or a dull dark blue?
Christ, it's grim enough without adding to the muted palette of a British winter eh?

Have you tried TKMaxx's ski-ing stuff? Ds has a fab bright red jacket from there.

Can I just say, my H+M one is almost identical to the one on the Polarn homepage here

But green and only £30. Surprised they can get away with it as it is so alike actually...

the childrens ski coat department in TK Maxx. If you;re lucky you will find some great colours. They are dead warm and will have hoods and plenty of pockets. When I looked they were around the £15 mark. At least it will keep your ds dry and warm on the coldest days.

Go to Zara, they have some nice coats in bright colours and no logos.

DS has a bright red duffle from JL, which is lovely. He did have turd brown last year, but it was a nice design with detail that lifted it

lol at Boreighty. I bought a slate grey wool duffle style coat for my son! It looks great, really old-fashioned but in a loveable paddington bear scamp way.

I hate those bright orange/yellow/green puffa coats all other little boys wear.
