"The idea of this coat is great, at 5'7 there are few coats that do not sit well on my frame, however this coat was way too bulky, too much fabric poorly structured appears cheap. I bought both a 12 and 14 (I'm normally a 14) the 14 was too big and the 12 still too bulky so I sent both back. Please come back with an improved version of this coat next year."

"I loved this coat when I took it out of the wrapper. I wore it one time and it pilled up under the arms, cuffs - basically anywhere the wool touched anything. Please Johnnie - don't tease us with this beautiful fabric. It doesn't work as a clothing fabric."

"I ordered this coat in navy at the sale price. I had been longing for this coat for months but the original price was too much for me.
I am so pleased that I was able to buy this coat. It is a lovely shade of navy and the fit is very flattering. I vary between a 14 to a 16 in coats but found the size 14 to be a perfect fit as long as I don't wear too many layers underneath.
I haven't worn the coat out as yet so am not able to comment on possible bobbling."

"I bought this in the sale as I wanted a coat for driving. I ordered both my usual Boden size and the size above. I decided to keep the larger size as the smaller was slightly tight in the bust and the belt cinches in the waist. I also had to shorten the sleeves, but this was quite straightforward with the cuffs - just had to move the button and fold it up a bit further before replacing the button.
I was pleased with the coat initially as it's warm and looked good to start with, but after only a couple of months it's already looking very tired and showing signs of wear, with bobbling in places, pulled threads and the pockets are starting to show pulls. I'm not sure whether it will survive through to next year. Rather a disappointment, because I normally expect to be able to keep Boden clothes for season after season. Glad I didn't pay full price."

"I so so wanted to love this coat as the colour was really striking and it was just the kind of thing i was looking for.

However the length looked too short on me (despite being a petite 5ft) and the so called flattering wrap waist wasn't that flattering afterall as the tie belt kept pulling loose making my waist appear much larger than it was.

If it was a smidgen longer and had a belt with a buckle i would buy for sure"

"I bought two of these coats in both Navy and Pink. The good points are the colors are nice, the style is classic but chic and the lining is lovely. The downside is that the coats are not as vibrantly colored as they appear online (but are still nice; I know monitors may account for color variations) and have a waffle texture that you cannot tell from the online photo. The problem is that the coat already started nubbing/ pilling in shipping as it arrived yesterday and I am concerned from others' comments that this trend will continue."

"I have had this coat some time- it is a gorgeous colour (pink), a great length and totally versatile. I wear mine with the collar turned up, a leather belt and an amethyst brooch on the lapel. It has pilled, but every so often I brush it down- you can get coat brushes for this purpose. I don't mind because I spent a long time looking for a beautiful coat and found nothing as good as this. It is also very very warm."

"I bought this jacket a while ago but have worn it very little until yesterday when I wore it for a day out shopping. I took it off when I was in shops but inspite of that, the coat is covered in really bad bobbles or pilling down the sides where I was carrying my handbag on my arm. My friends remarked on it. I certainly wouldn't buy this, the fabric hangs nicely because it is soft and open weaved but it wears terribly."

"I love this coat and read every review taking it all into account before ordering. Quite a gnerous fit so as a size 10-12 normally I bought size 10. Still a bit big but when belted doesn't really matter. Sleeves were too short and because I knew I wanted to keep it I unpicked the turnups. Have worn a few times and fine for now but have caught the fabric whch snagged easily."

"Lovely looking coat- the pink isn't as bright as the picture and therefore much more versatile than it looks . Have a big chest so the fit was fine for me, although I don't think it is a treat for the waist as described. The fabric looks lovely but the pilling is absolutely terrible after a couple of wears- I have had to send it back as it looks awful and isn't good enough for a coat that isn't particularly cheap."

"This coat is very stylish and looks great on. I bought the navy one and its perfect with jeans but smart enough to wear with dressy outfits.

Unfortunately the fabric seems to be of not such good quality. Although I have only worn it a few times (6 or 7) and looked after very carefully the fabric is rubbing at the back (where it comes into contact with a car seat perhaps) and has caused some shedding/bobbling and thinning of the fabric which is rather worrying. I wonder what it will look like after one season! I wouldn't recommend the coat for this reason - its not cheap. Disappointing."

"Due to the reviews I sized down to an 8, normally being a 10. Little tight. I will order a 10 to see how this fits. Fabric lovely, detailing lovely, but maybe reminded me of a waffle dressing gown. Anyway I will try another one and see."
