What do you think of this double brasted jacket from Next (UK)

Hey guys, EDIT: Spelling mistake in the title sorry. This is the jacket I am looking to buy: http://www.next.co.uk/shot.asp?extra...6amp%20Jackets Any opinions on the item? I am looking to buy a decent wool double breasted/ pea coat type jacket for around £70. Cheers, M

The style looks fine unless that zip up polo neck is part of the jacket...

Try searches for reefer jackets, Pea coats and trench coats on e-bay, you'll find a lot more for £70 than you'll get from Next.

Next quality is fairly awful I believe. The jacket is not 100% wool and the weird turtle-neck thing is not removable which would really limit its usefulness, so I would give it a fairly wide berth.
I am sure you can find something better for around that price given how ubiquitous that style of jacket/coat has become.

If it was me, since spring is coming and the weather is warming up I would leave of buying a colder weather coat till the next set of sales and try and get something more expensive marked down.
