Wool Blend Checked Double Breasted Coat

Loved the colour, fabric and style of this coat. It looks great worn casually over jeans and trainers, but also looks fab over more formal clothing. In my usual size it felt at least a size too big, but I rather liked the 'oversize' look so went with it. The pockets are lovely and big, so I can get away without a handbag, which is good. Received a number of compliments when I first wore it. It feels like it will be a warm coat, though it's been too mild to put that to the test this winter! Very pleased with this coat and enjoying wearing it rather than my usual padded jacket.

Read other reviews and ordered a size down in the sale. Fits very well. No issues with tapering onwards and I’m very busty. Beautifully finished, good length, gorgeous weave and colours. Not too thick so hope it holds out for extreme weather. Inside pocket great touch.

I bought the coat after seeing it in store. I liked the check design, colours, the length is good for me at 5ft 4'' and nice details such as the piped and stitched lining and the contrast blue on the reverse of the collar. However, within the third day of wear, the fabric started pilling terribly and three weeks on, i have the annoyance of having to keep pulling of 'bobbles' which has made what could have been a favourite coat into an expensive disappointment. I question whether M&S did a true wearer trial on the coat pre-production.

You would need to go down one size at least, even then it seemed big on the shoulders. Unfortunately I had to return it. The coat does look nice but it seem to swamp me at 5ft.3ins and the large check made it look even bigger. It's a pity because the colours are nice on this coat.

I saw this in store and did a double take. A very stylish coat with great detailing and very appealing colourway with the pink popping nicely. I tried it and had to go down a size as it’s boyfriend style but still looked a bit big. I then ordered it on line but it really didn’t look quite right on me on the top half so I returned it. A shame as it’s one of the nicest items I’ve seen in store for quite a while.

I have worked in high end, luxury fashion retail and I can tell you this coat is great value for money. The colours are warm & earthy, style is right on trend, fit is roomy - great for an extra thick chunky jumper underneath, length is below knee and finally the finish is the best I’ve seen in a long time. It’s very cosy, but probably not warm enough for a deep winter coat. Very thrilled with this coat, love, love wearing it.

I didn’t really need a new coat but this checked Per Una coat is on trend and represented very good value for money. I tried it on in the store and purchased a Size 6 (I usually find an 8 or10 fits me). However, buttoned up I felt it was slightly too tight around my hips and the pockets gaped slightly so I sized up to an 8. The fabric is very attractive and the style works well with jeans and trainers or boots and it keeps me pretty warm in November weather with a jumper underneath. I have had lots of compliments and people imagine I paid a lot more for this coat. Well done M& S.

Having ordered half a dozen coats from all my usual favourites - All Saints, Mint Velvet and John Lewis and sent them all back due to quality for the price, lack of a lining, not warm enough etc, I had given up hope of finding a checked coat for my 5ft 10 inch s12 frame. Then I was browsing M&S online and this coat caught my eye. On checking and finding there were none left in size 12 in my local store and only two left in the next size up I decided to pop down straight away to check it out with a view to ordering the correct size online if I liked the style etc. I ended up buying the larger size there and then, despite some of the other reviewers saying they went down a size. I like the bigger fit and it balances out the slight tapering of the style at the bottom which could leave you looking a bit hippy if like me you are not a straight down shape. It’s a great colour and super quality for the price. Love the different coloured lining inside and on the back of the collar. Great coat M&S, you’ve found your class again with this one!

I absolutely did not need another coat but I saw this in store and just couldn't pass it by. As others have said, it's much more eye-catching in the flesh than in the photos. The oversized details make it look very stylish and much more expensive than it was. It is obviously designed to be oversized but that look doesn't really suit my figure so I went down a size which was much more flattering.

I was returning another item and walked past this. As other reviewers have said, the colours "pop" a lot more in real life than the photos show. It made me double back and try it on. I'm a size 12 pear shape and while the 10 fitted me well on the top, the 12 was better on the bottom half. I like this aspect on top as I'll be able to wear layers underneath and stay toasty. I had no intention of buying a coat this year , but this came straight home with me. I really do think it will stand out and am expecting lots of people to ask me where it's from as it looks and feel so much more expensive. Lovely lining AND a massive bonus of an inside pocket with a button fastening. So rare to find this on Womenswear and hugely pleased. Great start to the revamp of Per Una. Well done M&S.
