Boys winter coat - recommendations

[CARNAT22]

We usually get my nephews hand me downs but this year James is the same size as nephew (he is a weeny 4 and James is a tall almost 3 year old)

I've got a red rain mac type thing but that is quite thin.

Looking for recommendations please. Preferably something he can get a lot of wear out of (so looking for a dark colour)

I love next coats for B but my favourite ever was from jasper conran in debenhams. Another great place is Sainsburys - always really well lined.
B is 3 but wears age 4-5 for height rather than width and I've found age 4 from next perfect but from Sainsburys would probably need a bigger size if he's wearing a jumper underneath.

My boys have Monsoon coats (I only ever buy in the sale mind) they seem well padded and warm but not too heavy as I like to layer the boys up. They also have Hatley rain coats which I brought big and have lasted a year and still fit, they are well lined and quite heavy for a raincoat. I did see some nice ones in Sainsburys today too.
I have the opposite problem as my boys are petite. Finding out 2-3 and age 3 are the same size (and 3-4 and age 4) has helped with clothes shopping for my boys x

Last year in Sept Noah had a parka from Matalan! Its gorgeous snd has only just outgrown him.

We will be trying to find a similar one again for this winter x

We had a coat from Zara last year, couldn't fault it. We were bought one last Christmas (size 3 yr) from m&s that will fit him this year (he's not even 2.5 yet!), it's bright yellow so might have a little look in next as I've seen a lovely navy one... x

Verbaudet do lovely boys coats and jackets. They send me catalogues and I spied a lovely red one in the most recent one, it has a removable fleece jacket that can be worn on its own. Its reduced at the mo, I think it's £21. I got Matthew a lovely one last year and it was fab, a gorgeous yellow colour and (this may sound like a strange thing to be sold on), the zip was really easy to zip up, quite a handy feature with a wriggly toddler who hates putting his jacket on!

Same as Kay Kay. I've got coats for my two for the past couple of years from Verbaudet. I love their clothes! Last year I got the double layer coats with the removable fleeces and they were brilliant, especially as the inner layer poppers into the outer one. This year I've bought a khaki duffle coat with hood for my son. Quality is really good and price is reasonable - I got it for £23 at the weekend when they had a deal on.

We went with this Regatta, not from Amazon though. It has a fleece lining. I dunno why it says girls jacket in the link. Its clearly more of a boys one if any gender LOL.

Ha, I was just about to link you to this one to say this is what i've bought for my boy. The weather hasn't been cold enough for it yet but it looked great when I tried it on him.

I second M&s coats - I work for them so going to be abit biased but I think they are fab, lots of extra detailing and features in them like storm wear to repel moisture and also they often have a good thermal rating and elasticated wrists too to keep the warmth in and gloves on.

 

[CARNAT22]

The ones I have had from my sister have been M&S duffle coats. I really liked the padded one though and yep may have to find one is my size lol.

Its not just a jacket, this is a navy blue quilted M&S Jacket

I love the 3 in 1 coats made by companies like Trespass or Regatta! You get a wind and waterproof (taped seams) outer coat and a warm zip in fleece. The coat or fleece can be worn on it's own or combined to make a really warm practical waterproof coat! They do up high around the neck and you can adjust the sleeve ends to sit snuggly around their wrists/gloves.

I have them for my kids who and 5 and 9

I had great ones from Next. They were waterproof, warm and had hoods.

I think it's so hard to find winter coats with hoods now! Only thing is i also like them to be longer than jacket-so hard to tick all boxes! I got a good one from h&m too.

My boys live in Next clothes. Harry's 2.5 and his coat still fits fine from last year. It was Jack's previously so will be used 3 winters in a row and it's still as good as new.

I'm going to Next tomorrow to look for a new one for Jack, he starts school on Monday and I want a navy blue or khaki one with a hood but with no fur on the hood. He has autism and can't stand the feeling of the fur, it makes him gag!
