Cotton Blend Trench Coat with Stormwear™

My husband looks really good in this coat. It’s a very good fit. Husband is 6’ 3” tall and the coat comes to knee length for him, which is ideal. The detailing on the coat, including the stylish pleat at the back and the detachable corduroy collar, make it look far more expensive. The colour and fabric are great and it’s windproof and warm. It’s ticked all the boxes and we think it’s very good value for the quality of the garment.

I think this coat is let down by the quality of the finish. It has a lot of puckered seams and the 'adjustable' straps on the sleeves are pointless because they don't adjust sufficiently to make any difference; as it is they appear to be a pointless design feature. The bottom front of the coat opens a lot when walking and needs a tab fastening, like the one at the back pleat, to prevent this; I bought a long length fit so maybe this isn't such a problem on the standard length. Such a great pity because this has the potential to be a good buy. Not like M&S quality of the past. Unfortunately I returned mine. I'm not sure of the relevance of the term 'Luxury' in the description.

I bought this for a Christmas Present for my husband and it looks amazing, would actually have paid more for this coat as it is very expensive looking. He is absolutely delighted with this purchase and can't wait to wear it. Well done agains M&S.

I bought this Mac in size Medium, Long, to sit around in forests during cold maybe wet nights with several layers of wool beneath. Not everyone does this. My review is about whether the Mac is suitable for my unusual purpose. The coat is good at stopping the wind from whipping the warm air out of the woollen layers. It is strong and will not easily be torn by brambles. It has no hood so my head will get wet and perhaps sometimes too cold. My legs may get too wet. Length Standard and length Long differ in coat length by under an inch which is of little use to me. Staff tell me length Long is not a different style; it is the same style for tall people. I want a different style which is a longer coat with buttons down to the end so I can sit down in the rain with the coat covering my knees. I wish M&S would make one. With a thick fleece on, the neck buckle strap is too short and does not reach across. The wrist buckles cannot be shortened enough. To tighten the buckle around the wrist, more strap holes are needed. The coat mostly fits my purpose; I wish it were longer.

I popped down to Lakeside M&S today with the intention of buying a car coat or a parka, but the ones I tried on all felt either too warm or too heavy. Then I tried this trenchcoat on but my normal XL was too tight across the chest. It might be my diet but XXL was more my sizing, and it feels lightweight too. It also looks better than in the photo with its darker collar and I guess would be worn undone most of the time. Collar belt not needed but in my opinion it's a good buy. Wax cotton cap as an accessory is an idea.

Quality is very good but the coat lacks shape. I'm tall and slim and tried on a large. It needs a tailored or slim fitted version otherwise this is only good for the larger gent.

I first bought the cotton blend jacket, and now this cotton blend mac. I am happy with both. There are some slight differences in terms of workmanship, color, fit. First, the jacket is a bit more on greenish side, while the mac is little bit more on yellow or grey side. The jacket is made in Vietnam, mac in China. Slightly better workmanship can be seen for the mac. The jacket is a bit bulky at size M for me, while the mac is perfect fit, also at size M. Both are labelled with the same cotton/polyester/polyamide composition. But the jacket is softer in touch, while the mac has a nice brushed finish. Interestingly the blue color jacket, has similar brushed finish, which suggests the cotton content could be more? I am not sure. Overall, I am quite happy with all my purchases.

I took it back because I did not like colour..

I have a previous incarnation of this raincoat size xl. Ordered a new one online size xl and sadly it is smaller. Please get the sizing consistent.

Smart looking Mac with style and the detatchable lining makes it wearable summer and winter.
