£15 George @ Asda Ladies Credit Crunch Coat!

I went and bought one online after reading this thread and being tempted for days. Thing is I really dont need another coat . Think I will add new buttons to it when it comes to make it a bit different.

There was a girl in front of me in the queue at Boots yesterday and she had this coat on with a gorgeous scarf in shades of green with glittery bits (not a woolly one) and it looked really classy. I had to look really close to make sure it was the Asda coat (a bit too close really, hope she didn't notice!!)

Anyone know where they sell cheap scarves?

Repeating my question - is it warm?

IMHO, I should think it is warm! (But what's warm to one person may not be warm to another!!)

thanks for all the advice re: customize the coat,, def going to buy another one now i am a bit coat mad at the moment bought a purple £80.00 and green £50 in debenhams last year and IMHO i can't tell the difference in any of them quality wise

I am happy with the coat.
But as u know its been warm lately, but I have found it maybe will not be warm enough when it gets really cold...cos when Ive worn it in Tesco...near fridge area, that its a bit chilly!!!

I would say it is definitely NOT a warm coat. Warm enough for autumn and when it starts getting a bit chilly, but not warm enough for really cold winter days. I bought an size up so i could wear a thick jumper underneath, but tbh i think i will need a warmer coat on really cold days

I thought it was warm!! I tried it on over a big jumper and defo thought it would keep me warm on winter mornings. I wasn't sure whether to buy (being stingy!) and loitered around wearing it waiting for my husband to come and look, lol. I knew by his face when he saw me that it looked good, so that was the first thing in the trolley! It is a fab buy - excellent value, can go with anything and is a classy shape too. Thanks OP!

I bought one in Asda's Coventry store on Saturday - very pleased. Any ideas though where to get some different buttons to customise it? There were many in stock when I was there ...lots of different sizes too

Only had size 8 and 12 in my store , they was placed right at the front where you go in. Tried on the size 12 , its a lovely coat but not a thick wool , bargain for £15 tho. Havent bought one yet , going back later with DD to see what she thinks. Not sure it would keep you warm unless you did have a jumper under , which you probably would in winter !!:rotfl:
