  • These coats are so cute! I hope they are reduced in store, I could do with a new coat. I tried one on last week and they are actually quite good quality and look so much more expensive than £15 let alone £7.50 :eek:

    wasn't reduced in store today, will check tomorrow, was going to buy one a few weeks ago but couldn't decide on size, 16 was too big, 14 a tad small but for this price I will buy a 14 and it will kick me up the !!! to get back into my weight watchers!

    I wonder if they have loads in Asda stores? The purple one is gorgeous, I'd have to drive a far way to check. I hope it is half-price from tomorrow as I have a day off work so may nip down, apparently their new Christmas Party stuff is going in to the stores tomorrow too.

    Depends on your store, we get the sale list a week in advance so we've had the coats out all over the place to try and sell them before they're reduced tomorrow...sorry, but your store might not be as organised (or after the sales!!) like us.
    the party wear should be in already, we put it all out last sunday night and it's selling VERY fast.

    will be reduced Monday (along with ladies accesories), boys, girls and baby reduced on tuesday. can't remember which day mens, shoes or lingerie is...but if you like katie price lingerie buy it, it's all in the sale as it's been discontinued.
  • I love these little jackets,i got a black one at £15(might get a different one at £7.50)I think sizing wise they are a bit neat,im normaly a 12 top,but had to buy a 14 in this to feel comfortable and allow for a cardi or jumper underneath,definately a bargain at £7.50.

    I got one this morning in my local store for £7.50, so they have been reduced in-store too.

    Be really careful though as I was almost ready to walk away as it looked like there were only size 8's left. Luckily I always look at the garment label, as its always easy for things to get hung up on the wrong hanger, so thankfully got the size I wanted (10).

    Saved myself the £2.95 collection in store charge too, so even better.

    Gorgeous! Thanks to the OP for this.

    Ok girls, here's the heads up - quite a few coats left in my store, mainly the check ones. I was lucky and got a purple size 14. They also had jumpers, jeans, bags, Breast Cancer Charity clothes and lots of the the Moda range reduced to half-price or less. Onto the coat - The quality is as you'd expect for a lower priced item, fabric feels slightly 'hard' but very nicely cut for the price. Then I tried it on, it looks lovely, looks like a military style coat when it's done up. Will look good with a black and white or dark pink scarf. I am a largish 14 on top, they only had a 14 left, it is a bit snug across the shoulders/bust, fits fine elsewhere. I am 5' 7'', the sleeve length is perfcet. Lengthwise, it does not cover my bum but is long enough not to cause draughts between my jeans/jumper.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    one life, live it!
  • thanks for the link! just ordered the black wool one in a size 14 so i can wear thick jumper underneath. wanted a purple one too but they were sold out. consoled myself by also getting the short black mac for autumn wear :rolleyes:. of course i had to get a scarf too as it is getting chilly so also got the back and white animal print fleece one for £2. absolute bargain!!

    If you read the reviews on the Asda site, these jackets run small and people wish they'd got a size up (something to think about if you're ordering). Really great deal, but I think I'll pass as the jacket is a bit shorter than I normally wear so I know I'd leave it on the hanger.
    I never understand how people can buy clothes online. I have to try everything on and most stuff doesn't fit, if it fits it doesn't suit me.

    I went down to Asda today thinking all clothes departments would have a sale on, wanted some kids stuff, but only the ladies were. I ended up getting another jacket a red one half price at £12.50! I really must stop buying coats now! They only had e few of the £7.50 coats left (Alloa Asda) but I already have the purple one. I'll just have to go back down tomorrow for a look at the kids stuff!:)
