Diamond-Quilted Coat with Jersey Hood

Took it on a dog walk at seven in the morning and I was toasty. Mid-calf length keeps my legs sheltered and the jersey hood feels cosy against my ears.

I always default to black, but this olive looks smart with jeans and with leggings alike. The grey hood is a clever contrast, and it hangs nicely.

The diamonds sit in neat rows and catch the light a little. It has a relaxed shape that feels modern, and the length makes it look elegant over a skirt.

Not shiny, not loud, just a nicely made coat in a colour that looks calm. Wore it to a Sunday roast and then for a walk by the river.

I wanted warmth without looking like a sleeping bag, and this does it. The diamond quilting is subtle and the olive is a lovely muted green.

The cut is properly loose, so if you do not want a big, swamped look I would go down a size. I stayed in my usual and I am floating in it, which is fine for jumpers but a lot on top of a dress.

Really cosy, long to mid-calf, and the grey jersey hood is soft. It is a slightly slouchy hood, so on windy days it blows back unless I tuck my scarf in. Everything else is perfect.

Lovely coat, and I love how it falls to mid-calf. I do miss being able to bung it in the wash after a muddy walk, but a damp cloth gets most things off and it dries quickly.

Walking across campus in January is brutal, but this coat copes. Loose cut means I can wear a hoodie underneath and there is still room to move.

Bought it for myself and now my mum keeps borrowing it for the school run. The hood stays put, the olive is flattering, and it hangs well on a hanger.

Beautiful coat, but I stuffed it in a rammed cloakroom and the quilting looked squashed afterwards. Hanging it up for a night brought it back, so now I always give it a proper hanger.

Bus stop in the wind is no longer a problem. It is loose enough over a knit, long enough to cover my knees, and the soft hood feels lovely.
