Water Resistant Parka

Really lovely coat! It has the stormwear coating which helps water to run off. The colour is a very subtle light green, and the material has a lovely silky sheen to it. The style is reminiscent of a classic parker, minus the hood and the fur trim. Unfortunately the missing hood turned out to be the deal breaker as my brother prefers a concealed one in his winter coats in case of sudden inclement weather (he has long walks to the bus stop, and doesn't always have a brolly). Bought another coat from the blue harbour range which was more suitable to his needs. Shame, I really liked this one!

I love the style of this parka, but why make it dry clean only? Swapped for another style which is washable!

This jacket was purchased to replace a similar M+S item which I have had for years. My comment would be - buy a size larger if you intend to wear it over a heavy sweater or jacket. The previous one was XL and still fits perfectly but, when I tried the new one on in store, it was tight. I think that this fault applies to some M+S items these days. Apart from that, it is exactly what I want and it will be interesting to see if it lasts 15 years like the last one!

Purchased for our 16 year old grandson who is over 6'6" tall. The coat is certainly long enough for him and practical enough for him to wear it anywhere. More importantly, he likes it, which is a big plus for a teenager. Probably get one for myself.

Looks good and is warm too. Would recommend. Comes in 2 or 3 colours but bought the black which is very nice. Good value for the money

Stylish, warm a good fit and value for money. Suitable for all ages. A young man would not feel old fashioned and an older man would look in vogue.

Bought for my husband as I thought the colour and style were very smart- a nice change from his usual black or navy. I do think it is more stylish than it's description of being a parka. I am sure he will get good wear from this coat.

I liked the styling on this coat and the attention to details. Water-resistance is a bonus. Great fit and comfortable to wear with a jumper underneath. Just a bit less casual than most of my other coats so will be a versatile cold-weather choice. An expensive item so the 20% off online was very helpful!

Well styled coat that looks good for all occasions.

Nice finish, typical M&S quality
