New Coat

Bought a lovely parka this morning - now why, are the hoods 'so' big
I turn me head and all I see is the inside of the hood !

Re: New Coat

I've got the same problem. Patsy, it must mean we've not got big heads.
And I've got a mountain of hair to wad my hood with

Re: New Coat

Lol I wonder that as well Patsy...I love the parka coats that are in the shops now,I dont very often wear a proper coat,when im out with the dog I wear a fleece jacket and I have a leather style one for when im out shopping.If it gets really wintry I just have to rug up with the dog walking fleece .
Bet you will get some wear out of it Patsy,maybe they think people wont wear the hoods up but id rather have a nice big hood than a too small one

Re: New Coat

It's so you can wear a hat as well.

Is it ! You see bag ladies doing that one hat on top of the other they have, bless 'em
No, I think I'd look daft - I'll wear me hat instead of the hood

Re: New Coat

I never put the hood up and always get rid of that nasty fur bit the add to everything.. Reminds me of having a dead rat round my face..

I much prefer to wear a hat that way I dont feel so cut off from my surroundings.

Re: New Coat

Mines massive, the hood not my head! It's so big the reviews online actually mentioned that the size made crossing the road or looking in shop windows very awkward as the hood falls so far over your face.
The above is all true, I know cos I bought the parka anyway and I still love it.
