anky and joules

[Malibu]

My mother would liek a new coat and has seen a joules one and an anky one too. has anyone out there got either of the brands and can tell me what they are like, i have joules but not a coat just jods etc.

I've got Anky jods. I ordered my usual size but they come up massive

I look ridiculous in them and got laughed at!!

May be best to try a coat on first in case they come up massive as well LOL

ETA Maybe she designed them whilst pregnant!!

My Partner has just bought me a Kyra K jacket for the winter OMG its fab. So warm, lots of pockets, a clippy thing on the side which comes in handy for keeping your hoof pick or keys on.

Dont know what the style is, but its long and in Jade colour. I love it....and him for buying it for me....spoilt rotten!!!!!!

Umm, different to me... I am size 16 top (large boobs!) and got a large anky dressage shirt.... well it was not...!! I needed x-large in her size...It was very small for me! Only 36d but large did not fit!

I would never pay the money Joules charge for anything. I had a coat (dakota) and it lasted 1/2 a winter. As soon as I washed it it leaked from thereon in, and they're not warm either...oh, and the hood is rubbish.

I have a toggi coat (the perth) and it's great. waterproof (even though its not meant to be) and really cosy.

Other than that I think I'd rather go to somewhere like millets and get something for skiing or walking as they're alot more waterproof, breatheable and warm. Just got my son a fab peter storm coat for riding in and he loves it.

I bought a joules coat in the sale for £45, the one with the lining jacket you can take out that also turns into a gillet. So far i love it, have only had it for half a year but is going strong. I have taken the lining out and just use it as a jacket, is very nice and smart!

I love my Caldene jacket as a winter warmer, but my traditional fave is my red Musto blouson, can wear loads of layers under it, usually end up looking heavily pregnant!

Kyra K stuff looks beautiful, not sure about how it wears though, cant afford it LOL

Would say Anky will be better value for money but I think the jackets come up small. I have just bought a Kyra K jacket in a sale and it is fab, well worth the money sooo warm and real quality.

 

[Tempi]

definately anky!

I love my Musto snug - it's the warmest coat I have had. Really good for keeping your neck warm too.

Anky stuff tends to come up big if you are smaller sized, but it is amazing quality and far better than Jules imho.
