    Well,me being me I've gone for something completely different:rotfl:

    Ended up deciding to go for a bargainous,belted,waxed longline (bum covering at the back) jacket,deciding I can wear that on wetter days and wear my wool (when fully shrunk back into it!) on dry days

    .Then discovered M&S have 20% off boots today so got a pair of reddy Brown knee high leather boots aswell (£20 cheaper!plus cashback) with both costing less than the coat I originally ordered :money:

    Now I just need a whip and a man dressed as a horse...

    To the poster who asked about the first coat,it's the Merrell Geraldine and the cheapest I could find it was Millets Sports.

    All 3 of them coats are far to old for you, I'm glad you didn't get one of them.

    I'm not a fan of parkas or anything padded really (padded usually looks dreadful on me).I tend to go for more classic styling but with a twist,hence the difficulty!

    Superdry padded stuff is quite thin padding, lots of unpadded here too.

    I bought myself a coat out of the sale at the beginning of the week. I like it, its nothing special but its ok. I absolutely hate the buttons. Talk about old ladies :-(.

    Might look out for a nicer set at some point.
