Superdry sizing is teeny tiny btw, so order bigger than usual.

The one day my son lost his coat - he was in tears at the reception phoning as soon as he got to school. But then when it turned up he doesn't wear it!
I have melted and shrunk it so now this week he has worn it every day. Pre-teens eh? I hate to think what will happen when he turns 13

Yes they are very small. I think his could be a size six in true sizing. It looks far to small to be a ten

well I have bought a superdry used one on eBay . mens xs for £19

but I have also bought him a coat from M&S that he loves..but OBVIOUSLY he wouldn't dream of wearing it to school

more style than practicality..but a coat !!

I am delusional I know.

My sons Verbeudet one is exactly like his superdry one - but he can't possibly wear it Hmm

Of course it's fine to wear my pink fluffy slippers around the house for comfort!

M&S coat looks great.

My DS just got a North face padded jacket in JD sports sale. He wears it over his blazer to walk to school as they must wear the blazers in school. JD is good if you catch the sales as my DS now in medium man size which is pricey. But am hoping he'll get loads of wear out of this jacket and as he picked it he is wearing it every day! I am also obsessed with him wearing a jacket as I see a lot of them in blazers in the cold and rain and loads of his friends have had bad chest infections xxx

MIne has cheap from H&M as it was an emergency purchase pre- a cold weekend away. He only wears it if it’s utterly freezing and never for school (wears hoodie under blazer). He never wore his last one much either so I didn’t see much point in buying a pricey affair for half a dozen wears!! Next winter if he’s grown again I’ll get him a more trendy one if he promises to wear it (his friend can’t round in a superdry one the other day that looked cool enough).

Any coat should do, as long as they don't wear a hoodie it should be acceptable.
