My coat is long but thin and i am freezing! I need a thicker maybe padded coat.
I know this should be in wanted but who looks there?

Please, please, has anyone got a size 16 long and very warm coat they want rid of?

Can't afford the price of a new one. Have looked in sales but still pretty ££. Plus only really have a bit of money spare in Paypal not in the bank. Checked all sites which takes paypal and the only one i found that looked OK was OOS in my size!

Big TIA.

Have you tried ebay? Especially on US one, there are loads there, search for down filled or puffer.

Tortoiselookingforwardto2010 · 05/01/2010 21:55

Thanks for reply.
Have been looking on UK Ebay. Not sure about buying from US TBH.

I buy from the US all the time, postage is v reasonable and parcels get to me in Ireland quicker than they do from the UK!

The quality of their padded coats is very high, I presume because of more extreme weather. I have a fab one from Landsend. I paid for it on a Friday, seller posted it on Saturday, got the parcel on Tuesday

Thanks, will have a look.

I have. I paid £79 from M&S and it is too long for me. Not sure what size it is off the top of my head. It has a lovely warm hood and is a zip up I think.
Obviously I am not expecting £79 for it!! Just letting you know it is a decent coat.

I have 2 long and very warm coats that I no longer need, as I have lost weight. But they are about a size 18-20 and 20-22.

Tortoiselookingforwardto2010 · 06/01/2010 20:23

Ohh Fab Would be very interested in pic if right size.My Email is [email protected]

arrgh Thanks, think 18-20 would be a big big for me though. Only go for 16 because of fitting jumper underneath.

FabIsGoingToBeFabIn2010 · 06/01/2010 21:02

Tortoise - I can't do pics on here but it is like this in that is is quilted. Mine is black and size 14. Press stud fastening too.

FabIsGoingToBeFabIn2010 · 06/01/2010 21:04

I think it is generously sized though as I buy a 16 in jumpers/tops now. Big bosoms .

Tortoiselookingforwardto2010 · 06/01/2010 21:08

Looks great Fab How much do you want for it?

OP posts:
FabIsGoingToBeFabIn2010 · 06/01/2010 21:23

No idea. I would prefer dh to take a photo and email it to you to make sure you really do like it first though. I would hate for you to be disappointed.

Tortoiselookingforwardto2010 · 06/01/2010 21:24

I have a ski jacket I bought from TK Maxx a year ago without trying on. I'm quite short and size 8 and it was too big for me. the hanger said "small", but,it's a "medium" not sure what size that is. I thin 16 might be a medium. You can have it at just the cost of shipping if you'd like?
It's brown and has a bit of white and the brand is Cross. Interested? It's just taking up space in my closet. It cost me 50 pounds when I bought it then - this was before I had the full on expenses of a child or even realized what they would be!
