"I was a huge fan of Boden duffle coats and had one every year to keep both my girls cosy. However, when they changed the wool structure a couple of years ago I found them too bobble ever so quickly and to an incredible extent. This is fine if you only plan to use one for your Sunday best but mine always seem to end up as school coats by the coldest part of the winter! Anyhow, decided to give this one a go because it was grey (for school), and decided to order the 5-6 for my daughter who would normally wear the next size up but these were always generous to say the very least. Alas, that problem has been fixed (hurray) and it was far too small! It is now in the cupboard for her sister to use next winter. The material is the same as the first one I had from the upgraded model and you can instantly tell that bobbling would occur easily. Lastly, I note a few people mentioned the zip... Yes, our zip is flimsy and awful too! My 7yo really struggled to get the zip up when trying this on, she must've tried at least 15 times before getting thoroughly frustrated but getting it zipped all the same. I struggled too and there is a 'knack' to it, which a younger child going out for playtime or similar would not manage to do themselves! It doesn't sound like it, but I do love the duffle coats, they look great and the sizing is so much better maybe a balance between the old style and the new style would be workable for the children who have to wear them and the parents who have to pay!!!!"

"We are big fans of these Boden coats; they look fabulous and generally wear well. However, I'm not sure about this one. The material of the grey model is not as high quality as previous coats; it is like thick, rather stiff felt. As others have pointed out the zip is very feeble. The coat hasn't been worn enough to bobble but I can see how it would. To be honest I much prefer the previous design - without the flap pockets and back belt trim - and the previous material.
If it were down to me and if I had paid the non-sale price it would be going straight back. It's staying because my daughter loves it and her father thinks it's a real bargain!"

"I have been buying the boden duffle coats consistently for the last 3-4 years and they have lasted enough for me to hand down from my eldest to youngest child.Within 2 weeks this coat has started pilling and the seam under the arm has come undone. I will be returning this and hope next winter's duffle coats wil see boden revert back to the original fabric."

"I can't believe all the negative reviews on this coat. I think its PERFECT. My daughter has worn it every day and still looks like new! I have found spills and marks just wipe away with a damp cloth. I think it looks like it should 'Nobby'. I agree you can't put thick jumpers etc underneath but you wouldn't want to as the coat would be warm enough. Received nothing but compliments even from strangers. Hope its available next year too!"

"looked very attractive on the website but had to return it just after three weeks.
the quality of the outer wool is very bad and it started to look worn out and old.
the fit is not to bad but felt tight at the arms.
has been the most expensive coat bought therefore was dissapointed with the overall rating.
HOWEVER the customer service is excellent therefore would recomend close friends to maybe veiw other items."

"These coats looked gorgeous in the catalogue so I ordered one grey one and a pink one for my 7 year old twins. The lining was great and it looked lovely on. However after only a few weeks of wearing it the fabric began to pill, especially on the grey one, and they both looked really scruffy. I was really disappointed and asked for a refund which Boden did without question and apologised. Excellent customer service but poor coats!"

"Bought this when it came out. Grey duffle for my 7 year old girl and pink for the 4 year old. The pink duffle is lovely and has worn well , and has been worn often.The grey duffle my 7 year old has only worn twice as she wears another coat to school every day( North Yorkshire has been cold for months already this year).After only wearing the grey duffle twice (yes 2 times) the fabric seems to be coming apart. There is also bad piling on the sleeves. So disappointed as I now struggle to find a replacement."

"Ordered the grey duffel for my daughter. It looks fab and really funky. She loves it and its really warm and cosy. The fabric does pill a bit but we will see how it goes.
Fit is good, comes up quite big but thats fine as it lasts a couple of years, better value for money!
We had a cord duffel before and that wore really well and lasted two winters so am hoping for the same thing with this coat.
Overall it just looks great!"

"This is the second one I have bought for my daughter and I'm sure I'll be buying another one next year. I bought this in a 2-3 years for my 4 year old as they do come up big as nearly all Boden coats do. I'd advise checking the measurements before you buy."

"What can I say - this is absolutely gorgeous on my daughter. It was worth every penny. She has lots of compliments in it now she is wearing it.
I ordered the grey colour and I found the fit was excellent for my 4 year old. I ordered it in age 3-4 yrs as it is slightly on the larger side."

"I bought this coat for my 14-months old daugther and although it looks great on the outside, it doesn't fit very well. She looks very unhappy when I put it on and putting her in the pushchair or carseat is a struggle. I'm looking for another coat now. A pitty because it is not a cheap coat."

The fit was quite big and sadly after 2 weeks of wearing them they look 2 years old - the wool has baubled quite bad - i am returning these and customer service were a great help - just unfortunate as i bought these early autumn knowing stock sells quickly of the best lines and there is no stock of the replacement coats!!! I wouldn't buy these ..."

"I was really impressed with this coat, it is thick, a fantastic colour ( pink with green lining) and looks really, really smart.
My daughter loves it, and because it is so bright, it goes with almost everything! ( I know that doesn't make sense but it's true!)

It also has a hood that actually stays up- the first time ever for my dainty headed daughter!"

"I purchased this duffle last year in pink with green lining for my then 3 yr old, she is fairly little and I found the 2-3 yr a better fit than the 3-4 and she is wearing it again this year age 4.
I LOVE this coat, everyone comments on it and no where else offers such a range of fab colours for a classic duffle, I see this years are a slimmer fit, for any that have reviewed about shape previously remember duffles are never meant to be fitted - you want plenty of layers under them for bonfire night, snow play etc!!!!
Price good value due to the fact this coat may last 2 manybe 3 seasons."

"I purchased this coat last year for my daughter, it was oversized, shapeless and looked very cheap. The effect of the wool makes it look like a hand me down and it feels unpleasant and thin. I would not recommend this coat for my daughter. she also loves everything pink but thought that this coat was awful."
