Bridget Belted Cotton Trench

I couldn't be more pleased with this trench coat. I ordered a size up, because I think you need to be able to wear a jumper with it, and I find that the more pricey M&S clothes come up a bit smaller. Size 16 fitted my size 14 perfectly. Just roomy enough for comfort. The length is a good compromise for wearing with jeans as well, and given the weight of this rubberised cotton a mid thigh length would be a bit heavy to wear comfortably. The cotton lining is a nice detail as well - cooler to wear in wet sticky conditions. Many thanks for a return to form M&S.

I'm really happy with this jacket. Great quality and certainly feels as though it's from a high end label. The fit was perfect for me. The material is heavier than usual but I found that ideal living up north!

I was really excited to get this trench coat, as I was looking for one of good quality for a long time. How disappointed I was when I tried it on! The length is awkward, I generally prefer longer length as I am quite tall, but the fit was so poor, which didn't make any sense, as I never had problems with M&S coats before. Very narrow in hips and huge on top, it was not cut for women with hour-glass shape! Very disappointing!

I have to agree with a previous review. The coat is of excellent quality, but very stiff so that it doesn't hang well and so lacks the chic I was hoping for.

Very light coloured neutral shade. Very well made and good quality, very like Aquascutum. However, I found this coat extremely heavy to handle and to wear so had to return.
