Where to buy jackets from?

tanith I will be sending you the bill via GNHQ!

Oh dear I'd hate to think I encouraged anybody

I now have lots of ideas thanks, although I do prefer to try things on, which rules out online purchases.

GN could now have a coatigan meet up where you all wear the same thing, and possibly, a red hat.?

oh no, I have only gone and ordered it, well, it was sold out in most sizes, I'll never be rich

I like that 'coatigan' too from Tesco, thank you tanith, that's one to try on when I am in there next week.

shysal I looked on ebay doing what you do, I chose the colour grey and I was really surprised how cheap some of the clothes are. Well worth a look.

I bought a blue and white striped jacket by Cotton Traders at the Service Station and am surprised how good it looks and I wear it regularly.

I fancy Tanith's jacket from Tesco

Oh yes, we are all good at egging each other on to buy things.?
Mind you, I need very little egging.

'Charleygirl' ???

FarNorth, I too have a large bust. Jackets are a nightmare because I need a big size to accommodate the bust but then the sleeves are too long and everything else is baggy. I have been lucky in Bon Marche. I bought a dressy long cardigan in a charity shop and it's been wonderful. Great with jeans, skirts, dresses.

Because of you lot I have just bought a long cardigan in Sainburys, it reaches my knees and is in 3 shades of grey. I also bought a top there to go with it.

A few days ago, DD and I were shopping for a jacket for her. She had a lot of trouble because of having a large bust. Plus sizes looked like tents on her while others wouldn't do up at the front.
We eventually got one from Top Shop.

I have half a dozen jackets, all bought new and unworn on Ebay for an average of £5. I usually do a search under a particular colour, e.g. denim blue, which cuts down the number of items to trawl through. A jacket can instantly smarten an outfit I find, along with a string of beads or a pendant.

Lands End usually have a decent range of styles and colours.

I can't drive in a coat either Tanith have to put one on at the destination.

Thank you all for replies.?
I already have woolly type unstructured jackets and fleecy ones, and a black jacket bought last year ( sadly, for funerals)
But have just cleared out several older jackets to a charity shop.So really need a smart one and an inexpensive more casual one.

I have bought 2 superb Boden jackets from ebay. Both are perfect and cost less than £20 each. You have to be vigilant in checking quality etc. But so far I have not been disappointed.

I have had some nice ones from EWM, they usually have a good range of styles and colours. I like my jackets to go for all aspects of life and adjust the top I wear underneath to suit occassion. I also have a dressy silky jacket from Jacques Vert which is still coming out for special dos after six years of use!

What kind of jacket? Hobbs have lovely but expensive dressy jackets. I bought a nice blazer style in JLewis

You can take your chances at TKMaxx

M and s have one very similar to the Tesco one.

Wallis do have some nice jackets. If I'm lucky, I pick up a nice one in M&S, but sometimes their jackets can be quite frumpy and it can be a hit and a miss.
I also find Bonmarché frumpy, but every now and again, they get it right and you find a little gem.
Good luck!
