Padded Coat

I bought this coat in navy for myself, great fleece lined hood, which fits really cosy when the zip, and poppers are fastened. Also bought in red for my daughter, who is going to New York in February, and loved mine.

Ordered this jacket in the red size 14. I'm 5' 2" and a dress size 12/14. The jacket comes down to about my knees and I probably could have got a size 12 and had it fit a bit more snuggly but then not sure if I'd get many layers underneath. Overall like the colour, the hood and the length. My main 2 issues with the jacket are: Zip - it's brass coloured and not of the best quality. Feels rather flimsy for such a heavy jacket and does do up smoothly, often jars or sticks. Sleeves - are not padded! So my arms are colder than the rest of the body, which is lovely and warm and padded. Just seems a bit odd. I've had other similar style jackets from M&S over the years, some with feathers and some with this style of insulation and I'm not sure this is quite up to the standard of the other jackets, time will tell. I'll be honest, if I'd realised sooner about the sleeves (ie before I ripped off the tags and wore the jacket) I'd have returned it, esp when you take into account the zip.

Ordered it in red,beautiful colour and goes well with navy hat,gloves and scarf. The coat is quite long and padded really well. Good size good too!! Bought it to wear in Poland in the new year and hopefully should keep me nice and warm!!

The styling, the quality and the fit were all excellent. Wife very pleased with it and would recommend. Brilliant!

A lovely bright winter coat with a large fur trimmed hood. I ordered this in a size 10. It is a generous fit with more room than expected, but fine for wearing a chunky jumper underneath, without feeling restricted. I would recommend this item.

Super cheery coat for the chilly days!

Very warm cosy coat made well except for the faux fur trim which I have removed

i am wearing it now only for a week. is nice and warm.

The weight of this coat is amazing, style is second to none, quality fabulous. I can’t prasie this coat enough, gorgeous rich red coat for a change to me than black all the time. You will not wish for a better aut/winter coat.

Excellent coat. I just love it. I love the fact that the fur comes off, (so I can use anytime of year) and the whole hood comes off too.
