FatFace’s wool coat reduced to £50 in outlet ‘will last for many winters’

Finding the right winter coat can be a real challenge when the temperatures start to drop, but for one that will last more than one season, shoppers are proving very taken with the Freya Blue Wool Blend Check Coat from FatFace. Now £50, the 4.5 starred item was £135.

Available in sizes 6, 8, 10, 20 and 28, it’s so popular a few sizes have sold out already, the mid-length coat comes in a wool blend – including recycled polyester for an eco touch – meaning it’s nice and toasty, as well as hard-wearing.

With hints of red in the dark blue and white check, it’s got a real autumnal feel, and would look great over jeans and chunky black boots, as well as a thick jumper (it looks like it’s got room enough to wear layers underneath). Or throw it over a silky party dress on a festive night out. 

Alternatively, try this Wallis Button Through Check Coat for £59.40 from Debenhams. In muted browns and creams it’s available in more sizes than the FatFace coat – size 8 through to 22. Reaching to mid-shin, it also has a nice collar on it and round buttons, making it ideal for wearing to work. Pair with dark jeans and gold jewellery. 

Or, nab The Very Collection Check Coat With PU Trims – Multi for £90. This check coat has faux leather contrasting collars and cuffs, plus a tie belt for a cinched silhouette. Try it over a black dress and big hoop earrings for a super chic look.

One customer said of the Freya Blue Wool Blend Check Coat: “Warm woolen coat for the winter. Perfect fit in my normal size. Great bargain as bought in the sale. Looks really stylish and will last for many winters with its classic style.”

Quality as good as always.” A third said: “If you want quality and style then you win with Fat Face. Love all your clothes.

However, one shopper said: “Bought as a sale item and am very happy with it for the price. Not sure about the zips longevity as it’s not double ended. Colours are lovely, as pictured.”

Another flagged: “I do like the coat but in the picture it had a hood, but it didn’t when it turned up. I wouldn’t have brought it if I’d known it wasn’t like the picture. Saying that the coat is nice a good quality. Very good value for money as got this in the sale too.”
