this mac is in the sale and is really nice

[browntrout]

here

a close friend has it which means that I feel like I shouldn't buy it - but thought I'd share it here. She looks great in it too.

[browntrout]

she has the red/orange one btw

[IdrisTheDragon]

That does look nice.

Does it have a hood?

[brimfull]

hmm bit shapeless though

[dotty2]

Thank you! I have been looking for a mac and have just ordered the green patterned one (so don't all come on here saying you think it's 'orrible!)

[browntrout]

no hood but she was going to buy a red patent rain hat thing - she is one of those very glam people who can pull such things off!

[sayanything]

No, sorry, it looks like a shower curtain. Really sorry dotty.

[MrsBadger]

buy it

land's end coats are fab and last forever even if they are not especially fitted or trendy

Boden have good shiny rainhats atm

[VinegARGHHHtits]

Makes me think of the clothes the kids wore in the Sound of Music, you know the ones that sister Maria made from old curtains

Sorry it's not nice

[Hassled]

The problem with really distinctive coats like that is that you can guarantee the woman down the road with DCs at the same school will get the same. I bought a very loud blue Bodeny spotty coat a few years ago - and then felt like a prat everytime I met the Mum down the road in the same coat. And so did she.

[dotty2]

Ah well - twas only £39...

[princessmel]

It's fine dotty

Not for me due to lack of hood, but apart from that will brighten up a rainy day.

i agre with mrsbadger re quality of landsend stuff

I have dyed my Boden spotty mac for the same reason Hassled. Washing machine dye-worked really well.
