My new favourite jacket

The quality & the cut are great. I am normally between a 10 & 12; 12 fits me perfectly. It'll keep you dry.

Good length coat

Maitrey

April 2017

I got this because I don't often find coats that come below the knee so I thought I had to at least try it before my size sells out. I decided to get the stone colour which should go with a greater variety of outfits. True, as somebody else noted, it is not the best colour, especially if like me you're blonde, but I am hoping different coloured scarfs will bring it to life. I t seems pretty well done and I like the inner pocket but then again there are stiches which could have been better and a few loose ends which I simply pulled out...and nothing bad happened, fortunately. The fabric looks ok and does seem to have a waxy rainproof layer. I have narrow shoulders (size 8) and it does sit ok on the top half while being loose enough on the lower part(where I am somewhere between size 8 and 10). It is not the most elegant cut but I think it's meant to be more towards the everyday-wear end. All in all I think I will keep it (tag still on) simply because, as I have said before, it is just so, so difficult to find a coat that comes below the knee(and doesn't cost a fortune). But, to be fair, for the overall quality, to me, it does seem just a bit too pricey.

Not for me

The quality is excellent but the colour isn't very flattering.Its a very dull beige and the style is rather big across the shoulders. However, the length is good, well below the knee. I am 5'7". I might have kept it but not at the price . Disappointed!

A raincoat that is finally rain proof!

I saw this coat when it first came in store - just loved the colour and the length. Smart enough for London, but not out of place in the provinces where I live either. When the label said it had Stormwear treatment, I decided to try. I mean, what is the point of a raincoat that lets the rain in as so many do? But it had gone from the store, so I had to order online. I had a size 12, which usually is a relaxed fit from M&S for me, but it is quite snug around the shoulders and the sleeves are almost tight. I've vacillated about taking it back because there really isn't room for a thick jumper underneath, but I've tried a 14 and it drowns me (no pun intended!) However, the rain proofing and the colour have swung it, and it does really suit me, so I've kept it. I've not tried it on a cold day yet, so it might be OK, or else I'll have to revert to my tatty padded jacket. Be aware that the silver 'buttons' are actually poppers/press studs - slightly odd choice, but they are strong and stay done up. Personally, I would have preferred buttons in an understated colour.

Bought this other week. It's really lovely although pricey, it's worth it. I LOVE the side splits which is very different to others and vents don't blow up at the back like back splits ! Only gripe but which doesn't effect star is that I'm petite size so sleeves need shortening. Worn with skinny jeans and wedge boots, but felt so smart too !

Gorgeous mac, but didn't fit my large chest

I was so thrilled to receive this coat - the quality was superb, and I love the colour. Unfortunately I had to spend a fortune posting it back from Japan (30 pounds!) as it didn't fit well over my 34E/F chest. I ordered the 12, which normally fits me. A 14 would have been way too large. I just felt a little constricted in the upper body, even without a thick jumper underneath. For the price, I wasn't prepared to make that compromise. Very very sad to have to return it. Not sure I will take the chance on such an expensive purchase from overseas again.....

Lovely Trench Coat

I am very pleased with this coat especially as I got it 20% cheaper so very good value for money. The material is good quality and looks very smart. I also like the length which comes below my knee. I was surprised that the fastenings down the front of the coat are press studs and would probably have preferred buttons but that is only a minor irritation. All in all it is a lovely coat.

Fab new coat

This ticks all the boxes for style, quality, on trend. With spring just around the corner I am looking forward to wearing this stylish classy looking coat. I have tried it over trousers, jeans , skirts and dresses...looks great with any combination. Flats, ankle boots or heals this really is a winner. Well done M & S

Just what I was looking for

This is a very good fit (size 16) and being about mid calf just the length I was looking for. Looks classy and classic and hopefully will wear well. Substantial feeling fabric too.
