    Oh, from your extremely accurate description of what style, lenght and colour you want it, I know exactly the jacket for you!

    Seriously, you might want to start with whether you're male or female.

    What's the point, in that case? :rolleyes:

    That said, I will do my best to educate you. Have a look at Barbour in Clery's.

    K

    Go to banklink. (If using credit card, ignore this step)

    Approach River Island store.

    Go to Men's section.

    Locate area selling coats.

    Buy coat, taking care not to exceed spending limit.

    Done.

    P.S You should get a nice coat in Zara for that price.

    Are you on heroin..? dont buy anything from river island, most overpriced and yuppie mens store ever...

    Go to TK MAX and you will have a far better selection at a much cheaper price..

    I was in there yesterday and got some puma gym gear at very reasonable price.. and they have a really great coat seletion right now..

    PEOPLE OF IRELAND - WAKE UP - DONT BE RIPPED OFF BY THE LIKES OF RIVER ISLAND..

    i have to agree - forget river island - all the clothes are a flash in the pan - and it certainly is over priced rubbish
    TK Maxx or pull n bear - both great places for jackets and clothes in general.

    This raises an intresting point.

    I think alot of irish people, for some unknown reason, are happy to lap up the expensive garbage dished out by the likes of river island and jack and jones...without a second thought (Im restricting this to guys cuz i dont know the ladies scene too well).. And if you shop in these stores 200 Euro wont get you much..

    The sad thing is that if you apply yourself and find the outlet stores you can make 200Euro go a very long way.. I bet with 200 Euro i could get a full outfit and a coat to match.. and i wouldent look like a river island poster boy..

    its embarassing in the street at the weekend when you see the reams of guys wearing the same bland trash.. Irish men really need to so something about their dress sense..

    flash in the pan was a perfect description..

    Agreed, ClockWorkOrange.

    From a womans POV, I saw a gorgeous raspberry pink knit jumper in Gap last week for £25. I didn't buy it because I felt it was too expensive and I continued on to TopShop, where I bought an identical jumper, two vest tops and a bag for £25.
