What would you wear it for?

Shopping in Iceland?

It's vile.

Holymoly321 · 14/12/2009 14:48

Oooh, have to disagree there - I think it's quite nice actually!

good point!

I can't imagine what I would wear it with or for actually!

Just as well I can't have it then.

hmmmmmmm - was all prepared to be JudgeyMcJudgey about it but it's not that bad really. Not my style, but I've seen a lot worse. Never mind - perhaps it will come back in stock in time for the NY sales?

I love the furry bits, maybe school run?

Which reminds me, better go get DD from school now!

Its a bit busted looking.

Probably warm though.

Is it real fur?

I don't know, just assumed it would be the usual faux fur stuff?
I wouldn't want it if it was real fur, but for 90 quid I doubt it's real.

it's like a posh barbur (sp?) coat - YUK!!!

Bet it smells minging!!!

TheShowMustGoOn · 14/12/2009 17:13

It's quite nice

But wax coats smell of outdoor pursuits men.

controlfuckingfreaky · 14/12/2009 17:13

that coat is horrid...
ok?

FlamingoCrimbo · 14/12/2009 17:23

Sorry, but I hate it! And it's faux wax so won't smell of outdoor pursuits men, it'll just feel horrible.

ruddynorah · 14/12/2009 17:24

it is horrible. scruffy looking. are you scruffy OP?

serenity · 14/12/2009 17:29

It's not my cup of tea, but it looks lovely and warm. Nice when you're stuck in a blizzard in the playground.

LittleMontyontheDustyRoad · 14/12/2009 18:14

Look like its seen better days to me, and has no redeeming qualities whatsover. Think you had a lucky escape there.

kittywise · 14/12/2009 18:29

sorry, it looks like it's already seen better days. I'd rather buy something that didn't look like it should be binned!

carciofi · 14/12/2009 18:36

Not keen on it, sorry

GrimmaTheNome · 14/12/2009 18:43

That coat is horrid.

Glad to oblige with a clear conscience!

Glad most people think it's hateful then, I obviously have no sense of style.

ruddy, I don't like to think I am scruffy but maybe I am? If your definition of scruffy is Uggs and leggings then I probably am.

ShowMustGoOn, I don't know what outdoor pursuits men smell like but if they are all beardy and rugged then I would most probably like the smell!

Any ideas for a coat for me then?
I'm 35, size 12 to 14, large norks, 5.4, blonde hair and pale skinned?
