Thinsulate™ Hooded Mac with Stormwear™

Wife very pleased can get Aran jumper on and the price was excellent.

This is a lovely coat and I am sure it is ideal as a warm waterproof mac. My only criticism is that the fabric is so noisy, it creaks as you move. It is for that reason I am returning it and will look out for a softer fabric to replace my favourite Per Una waterproof. These coats are the best winter coats in whichever style you choose., this one is just not for me.

A great waterproof jacket that is a good length. Reaches my upper thigh.

Bought on sale, keeps you toasty warm & completely dry, love the contrasting turqoiuse, but would have preferred turquoise with navy trim. Excellent buy

Shape of this coat was no good for a pear shape, hence I returned item, fitted on top to snug on the bottom half! If the fabric had been softer it would have felt more comfy and perhaps not felt tight on the bottom half. Arms were a tad short, I'm 5ft 6inches so not overly tall, I ordered a size 10, it was slightly smaller then my other two size 10 coats from m&s but that could be due to stiff fabric, or the padding. Expensive at full price although would be reasonably priced at the reduced sale price of £53. I sent mine back due to being slightly snug on bottom half and sleeves being slightly to short, also mine had. Fault with the stitching Round the waist, it had come in-picked! Mixed views about this coat!

Feels very stiff and unvielding when first tried on but a quick machine wash helped a lot. The coat is quite smart, waterproof, windproof, has a cosy fleece lining carried through to the hood and a robust two-way zip. For me it has multiple uses, eg going to the tip with a load of rubbish then on to the shops followed by walking the dog. My favourite coat for the February weather.

Stylish coat with good sized pockets and smart lining. The fabric felt quite stiff and was noisy when moving around. Sadly have returned.

Although I usually take size 14 I went for a bigger size to accommodate a cardigan, but 16 still too small so have had to send back,

I bought this coat in the sale and was happy with the price. I would not have paid the original price. The quality if very good and it's lovely and warm and as described. The fit however was not good. I had tried a 10 in the shop which was slightly tight. I then ordered a 12 but to be honest there was no difference. I did keep the coat as I was unable to get another size.

I sent for two of these coats because M&S sizing has changed and doesn't seem as reliable as in the past. But I sent both back due to the fabric which was quite stiff and unless you had the hood up the funnel collar didn't sit right. I'm sure if you've got a long neck it would be fine but not everyone has. If the coat fits and you buy it in the sale it's a good purchase.
