Anyone bought this FatFace coat?

Has anyone bought this FatFace teddy coat? I like the look of it online, but a couple of reviews says it’s quite heavy to wear. No store nearby, so would need to get online.

I have this coat and sat next to a lady at a concert in church last week who was wearing the same one. She loved hers. It’s very warm, soft and cosy to wear but is quite heavy. I have been too hot wearing it inside some shops but it’s ideal for our chilly supermarket. It’s not waterproof but I have a raincoat to wear in those circumstances.

I like the look of the coat but I am totally silly and won’t go into shops called Fat Face or Sweaty Betty 😩 I’m showing my age by this remark.

It's the thought of Sweaty Betty trying clothes on then they go back on the rail. 😩

I love the teddy coat. I have one and they are so incredibly warm and cosy.

No I haven’t but I order quite a few things on line now and I don’t find it hard to return them but I always check the postage and returns are free.

My question to you would be " have you bought this brand before and do the clothes fit properly " . I only buy particular brands as they suit and fit my figure shape.

Nice coat. But not my colour

I used to like Fatface, but I feel that the quality has deteriorated in recent years, especially compared with other brands in a similar price range and aimed at the same demographic.

I had a similar one and gave it away. Too hot for me and the collar made my neck too warm. Great if you suffer a lot from being cold though I suppose.

I bought pretty much the same coat from FF last year, maybe a slightly darker shade of teal. I can't abide anything too heavy, but this kind of feels substantial and cosy rather than unpleasantly heavy. Wore it for a busy day out in London and it felt very comfortable. It's definitely my non-rainy day coat though. I did go in to my local store and try it on first (they didn't have it in my size - so then ordered online).

I have a similar one from Seasalt and it’s not at all heavy.
However, I would not choose to wear it in the rain- as it isn’t a raincoat!
Horses for courses.

It looks as if it doesn't fasten. It's turned really cold here today. I need my cost to fasten.

The FatFace one? It has concealed fastenings.

I have had a similar coat for ages, mine is fine.
However, I buy quite a few items from Fatface. If not it's not suitable you can send back, remember you don't have to take to Post office to send back to FF. You just book it in and the post person will pick it up, especially if you give 48 hrs notice.

Thanks. Well, I’ve gone for the other one now! I’ve bought quite a bit from Fatface previously too.

Cheers, folks. I’ll let you know when it arrives!

Good choice LucyAnna. 😊

It's going to be a long build up to Black Friday, 29th November. I've noticed 20%, 25% discounts everywhere.

Definitely the Apricot one.

mumofmadboys Thu 07-Nov-24 17:22:53

I like the fact that the Apricot one fastens. Hope you like it!

Ordered the Apricot one - and with a 25% discount! D’s friend said the FatFace one was heavy.

I like the Apricot coat.
Nearly bought a winter coat yesterday in M&S, until I realised I never wear one!

Lucy Anna - I think the Apricot one is a more flattering shape.

I agree..
