£15 George @ Asda Ladies Credit Crunch Coat!

mrs.t_14

Thank you very much!! I've just ordered one on-line £18.95 inc. P&P.

I have been looking for a smart coat for a while and all those I've looked at have been too expensive. Looking forward to receiving it.:T

I just ordered mine off the website. £18.95 for a coat and no traveling expense! Woohoo!

Bought one of these today, great bargain! They seemed to have plenty in all sizes in our local Asda in Southgate.

"George's wool coat retails at £15 and the supermarket aims to sell a quarter of a million coats over the next few months. George sold 15,000 coats in the first two hours of it going on sale".

They sold 77 thousand, as of 6th oct, thats loads.

According to this

Asda are going to launch a 644 page catalogue soon :j

Got mine delivered today in a size 12. I'm usually a 10/12 and this is generous on me which is fine as I don't like anything too tight. I'm amazed at what a good fit it is, it goes in and out at the right places and makes a lovely shape.

Has anyone washed it yet? I usually find these wool coats are fine on a 30 degree synthetics wash.

Don't wash it - its wool & you never wash wool coats!

Its a nice coat from what I have seen, but I can picture the scene mid December when every woman I meet is wearing one

Well mine arrived today and I think its great value for money, even with the delivery charge, as I always spend a fortune in Asda, so this was way cheaper, believe me :rotfl:
For those who have yet to order, I had a size 14 and it measures, bust 40" ( rememeber you can add or reduce this slightly by moving the buttons if needed ) , length 33", sleeves are 18" from under arm to cuff, ( this may not sound a lot, but armhole is quite long ) . Sleeves are a nice length as I have quite long arms! I have no fear of bumping into Asda coats everywhere as I have already customised mine. I have squared off the collar by taking off that deep round edge, I have also taken off the pocket flaps, then I changed the buttons, no one will ever know :rotfl:

I meant don't wash it in water - you need to get it dry-cleaned!:D

Where is my coat? I ordered on the 5th oct with a pair of jeans and 2 tops - had to make most if paying del charge! Still no coat..all was in stock when ordered, called this tues and they agreed to refund del charge as ahd taken longer than 5 days, called fri as still no parcel and was told all out of stock apart from 1 top and they would call me back. Nothing, called again today and told it had been dispatched but didn't know when said they would look into it and call back - guess what no call!
Am not happy feel angry letter of complaint coming - I want my coat!!!
