A second shoppers gushed: “Very nice quality and comfortable jacket. Nice and warm and rain proof. Love it.”
A third M&S shopper praised: “Really warm, comfy coat, well made & good fit. Purchased to wear mostly at cold outdoor sports events & it’s perfect, keeps me warm & dry without feeling bulky & bunched up like you do when wearing a padded coat. The fur lining is great.”
While a fourth penned: “A cosy coat you need in your life! Super warm coat and, with the inclement weather we are currently experiencing, the showerproof qualities were fully tested.”
And another added: “A warm snuggly everyday practical jacket for all weather.”
One shopper criticised the fit of the jacket, writing: “This coat looks quite A line in the photo, but it’s actually very straight. I’m a pear, so it didn’t really fit me properly – a bit big on the shoulders, a bit tight on the hips.
“It’s true to size, looks smart and feels warm. It has a zipped inside pocket and will be a lovely winter coat for people the right shape. The dark green is very dark.”
