This is now on 1st OctoberThis is now a Centigrade TSV
I've been looking for a proper "coat" coat, so will be keen to see this.Centigrade Single Breasted Mid length Coat
Just bought a brilliant coat from Sainsbury's, £45. And you can wash it!I've been looking for a proper "coat" coat, so will be keen to see this.
However, suspect I'll be disappointed.
I got an Aigle winter coat - it's not posh or smart, it's a dog walking/outdoor coat - believe it or not from the garden centre. It was £100 but had been reduced from about £250. It's quilted and the top half is furry lined and it definitely keeps the rain out. No problem putting it in the washing machine either.I'm looking for a winter coat.
A few years ago I bought one from Centigrade which was warm but not shower proof.
I'd get into work with my clothes damp.
I hate umbrellas because they inevitably break so have done without one for years.
Upon reading reviews (on Q) coats touted as shower/rain/water proof are nothing of the sort and so the search continues...
How are we supposed to see how it fits or looks? Totally agree. The models kept clutching at the front to pull it together.Non of the models have buttoned their coats up!!! Ridiculous.
How do you manage to hold it together if you’ve got bags of shopping, small children, pushing a pram or using a walking stick. Honestly QVC get real.The last thing I need is another winter coat, but I wouldn’t go for the SB style of this Centigrade one. If it is wool / wool mix it needs to be good quality otherwise it can be like cardboard (IMO!).I like Landsend, always wait for the price reductions.They are seriously warm, as some padded coats look the part but if they haven’t got the right filling they don’t keep you warm.I think the edge to edge one on QVC was Helene Berman? The one she called ‘clutch’ (I think) as you had o hold the front edges together, as if!
Has one been shown buttoned up? If it was I think it would be quite restricting.
