    im 5' 4 and tried the red in long on and it came below my bum which is the right length the short ones sat on me bum. im a 14 but will need an 18 in this to allow for winter jumpers.

    i loved the red when looking online but when i got to the store i found it lighter in colour so didn't really like it so i am going for a black .....when they have more stock in
    have now given up smoking since feb 13th 2014 loving the money I'm saving

    Also, if you are a student you can get 20% off at the moment as well. New Look don't offer a student discount on sale, but if it's a temporary discount, they accept student discount. So hopefull I am going to try and get it tomorrow for only £24 :) (If they have any left!!)

    Hi guys, does anyone know how long the sleeves are? My mum is 5' and has been after a duffle coat for years but she hates long sleeves. She wants the long version as she wants it past her bum if that makes a difference. She'd be happy to roll the sleeves up if it doesn't look silly. Would save me a trip to town if anyone can help. Also does anyone know when the 20% student discount ends?

    Ta!

    Going down the town in a bit, got my fingers crossed that they will have some of these coats left! Sounds like I will get the long black one hopefully. I will see how long the sleeves are Lil_Me :)

    Edited to say just looked at the link and they are back to full price :(:( bit reluctant now...

    HannahIOW, they do the black one still and it is at the reduced price of £30. Definitely worth looking in your local store for one and asking if they have any in stock otherwise.

    I bought the watermelon one for £40 when they were first in stock :rolleyes: I found my usual size was a bit snug though, especially if you wanted to wear a thick layer underneath, so I sent it back and ordered the size up for the reduced price. Couldn't complain, free returns and they refunded me quickly. I got the new coat the very next day too!

    Lil_Me, I'm 5'4 and the original size I tried the sleeves were spot on- however when I had to get the size up the sleeves were a bit on the long size for me. Nothing major though, certainly doesn't irritate me. No idea about the 20% student discount but it should say something about it on the website :)
  • Does anyone know of any stores that still have this in stock? (In red, size 16). I saw it a couple of weeks ago, but when I went back to the store two days later, they'd completely sold out of all sizes. Now I can't find it anywhere! I have friends who live in different places checking their local stores to no avail.
  • Asked in my local and they said it will be December before they get more in! I wanted one too especially with the 20% off!!!
