Winter coats/jackets

....and a very old thread.

I have a. Barbour plus another shorter Fat Face one, 4 quilted very warm ones, 4 blazers, short dressy jacket, fleeces, full length coat, worn once and my new denim one. They make an outfit but i myst not under any circumstances consider another one. I am ready for any weather.

I think I must have bought more coats than I've had hot dinners and I've never found exactly the right one. I ought to have moved to the Equator decades ago, where I wouldn't even need a perishing coat!
DH, on the other hand, has owned one coat for about 35 years and loves it.

Six year old thread.

It is not your post that I reported Allsorts but an advertising one that has been removed.

I have a few winter coats/jackets. If it’s showery and not cold I wear a patterned, hooded parka by Gudrun Sjoden. About 6 years old now. I also have an animal print mac by Hobbs which I love and that comes out sometimes. That must be 15 years old. My Mum treated me to it.

On days like today, mild and sunny I wear a down gilet by Weird Fish.

On very cold days I wear a black, down coat by Masai. It has a hood which folds down like a collar and as it is 95% down it is beautifully warm. I bought it last winter and although it cost me £250 it’s worth every penny as it will come out every winter.

Last week I bought an olive green boucle fleece jacket to pop on if I just nip out to the shop or for driving.

My problem was that I always loved faux fur and faux astrakhan. I have about five coats in various lengths and colours which I have had for about 25 years.

Considerably too many.
