Gingham Trench Coat

I really loved this when I saw it on the website and anticipated its arrival but sadly it went back. The colourwas a grey/white rather than the black/ white I was expecting. The fabric itself felt really cheap - it was bumpy, stretchy and similar to the old fashioned crimplene. The fit was awful, I’d ordered my usual size and the next size down but both were exceptionally large. Noooo, don’t order this,

Not lined although the online detail said it was. Given the recent vagaries in M&S sizing was surprised that this was so big I could have shared with a friend and still done the buttons up. I was expecting it to be long given the length on the model shown... but it actually touched the floor! I am 5'3'' Perhaps that is why the fairly hefty price for an unlined not shower proofed coat - tons of material!

The fabric is lovely on this mac and could have been a real winner, however it was not lined. Very large with no shape at all. This could have been a big winner - I now take most things back to Marks that I buy on line. Very sad.

I ordered this coat on 2 separate occasions . Having read the reviews i ordered a size 12 instead of my usual 14. When it arrived it was massive . So sent it back and ordered a size 10 which was also too big. So I gave up .

I love this coat. It fits me although I am quite tall. Its a temptation to go a size amler but actually the usual size has more style. I love the fabric, and colour. Its a perfect trench,and not frumpy.

I saw this coat in the Manchester store and tried on a size 12 which was far too big! I do occasionally buy a size 10 so I ordered one online as there were none in the store in that size. That was also huge! In the end I bought a size 6 and even that is plenty big enough. I love the coat and would have given it 5 stars but for the sizing and all the messing about with ordering, taking back etc

Marks and Spencer need a new fit model I am a size 22 in their tops an 18 I their coats and a 20 in their dresses And now a size 16 in this Mac What on earth is going in Nice coat looks good on but try a few as they vary I had to try three before I found one that fitted .

Brought this on line , read the reviews all said it’s fit was big . Am normally a 16 so went for a14 fits nice and long I’m 5.7 , does not crease . Just love this mac .

Didn't keep this as the material was too thin and by the time the weather would be warm enough I wouldn't want a full length coat.

Ordered this in my size 16 as not available in store. However had to return as it was too large. I will re- order soon i. A size smaller than i usually wear. G

This is a lovely coat. Very on trend in design and colour. I ordered my usual size but it seemed at least two sizes too big so I had to return.

I really wanted to love this as the style is very nice but I am a size 12 in Marks and Spencer clothing generally but a size 8 was even massive on me. What has happened to the sizing!!! Shame as nice colours and length etc bang on trend but just massive.

I purchased this coat for a recent business trip, the first time I wore it 3 buttons came off and I almost lost the belt as both belt loops came away, very disappointed M&S, expected better quality than this, coat was not cheap so I do not expect to have to sew buttons back on and repair belt loops. Will not recommend for that reason.

This is a lovely (unlined) trench coat perfect for the warmer weather. The fabric is lovely and the styling is very smart. My only bugbear is the sizing. Having recently bought a size 20 short raincoat which is slightly tight across the chest I bought a size 22 in the trench coat but it is huge! However, I'm not unhappy with a looser fit so will be keeping it. Overall 9 out of 10.
