    Thanks OP, I've just ordered one as a present, nice one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,014 ✭✭✭Soarer


    Would love to know the sizing on these. It's too cheap not to buy!

    Nice! This will go well with my Caterpillar boots I just bought - also a steal at €50 (€160 in shops).

    I just bought a sort of similar warm jacket and was pleased to only pay €80 - this is fantastic value. The north face equivalent ones are mad money.

    Great find thanks OP

    Thanks OP. Picked up 2.

    its cheaper to use uk site for bigger spends even with the voucher. Also fatcheese 6% (hummph) and quidco (2%)
    I went onto the site through fatcheese and switched to uk, ordered a few things and got the free delivery. Hopefully it still tracks!

    Ordered one for my Dad this morning and just got a mail to say it has been dispatched. Great service so far.
    Thanks OP :)

    what is the delivery situation with M&M now - I remember it being a total pain before?

    Mine has a tracking reference. Awaiting pickup today by Interlink/DPD somewhere in the UK I assume as it says Interlink so should be here by Wednesday I'd say.

    Never had any issues over the last year or so.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 798 ✭✭✭Plascebo


    Can anyone confirm sizes on these jackets when they receive them.
    Am usually a med/large but would look at getting xl (still a bargain I feel at €42)

    theres small,medium large and extra large

    Actually meant if their sizing was accurate. An example would be I recently bought childrens jackets from sportsdirect, and age 12-13 would barely fit a 7 year old.

    Curious to hear from someone who ordered one and say, if they were usually a medium, is the medium in these jackets overly smaller/larger than usual.

    they do give measurements but not sure how accurate. I'm a 46" chest so went with the xxl. If its too small I'll gift to my Dad or brother in laws. I doubt it'd be too big for me.

    im a medium but ordered a large as christmas is on the way

    Seems mine is in Surrey with Interlink so will be handed to DPD at some stage.

    Ordered another jacket from them but that's shipping with a different courier so maybe not coming from the UK.


  • Registered Users Posts: 488 ✭✭septicsac


    Missed this one ...grrr. Any info on the sizes, anyone receive theirs yet ? As previous poster said, I normally take a medium/large,wonder which would be the better, as jacket still at a good price ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,158 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    Medium or large doesn't really matter. It gives chest sizes. I just ordered knowing my chest size because every manufacturer has slightly different versions of sizes but chest sizes and chest sizes.

    Anyone have a work around to be able to pay in GBP on the site? Want an Item thats £28 but shows up as €48 on the Irish website when you input your card details. :mad:

    Try their Amazon store. Also you could register for 20% off clothing and possibly this if it qualifies - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057096173

    just register on their uk site? I paid for my order in pounds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,158 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    I pay in GBP as well. Just select Eire and click enter my address manually.

    Supposedly mine is somewhere between Birmingham and Athlone. Chances are it's in Athlone and on it's way to my regional Depot. Those sites take ages to update the info online.

    mine just arrived, very impressed. great quality jacket. ordered a xl for a pressie for my OH. i got an awful lot for 62euro

    How big is the XL? (Stupid question) But is it Massive, or is it more of a normal Large?

    (MandMdirect website says different than Amazon)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 423 ✭✭shot2go


    normal large, i tried it on myself and it would be about the same size as all the other large - xl jackets he has. its lovely and warm!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,158 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    Although mine arrived it was a gift for my mother to give to me at Christmas and delivered to her so I cannot comment on the size yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 285 ✭✭Samuri Suicide


    Just arrived. V impressed for £20.00!! (I live in UK) It is good quality and warm.

    For the sizing I am normally an XL and I went XXL for this and its a perfect fit.

    hmmm from the last few posts, it seems like they are sized a bit small.I hope the one I sent my Dad fits him :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭Birdie086


    On the irish site, I ordered one for my Oh and one from the kids section for my son, they arrived this morning, the two of them will be toasty in the morning, fine warm jackets they are.

    My oh half usually wears a medium and his fits perfect, my son in 7 to I got 8 to 9, and his is fine and big - should get next winter out of it.

    Thanks Beer baron, a few brownie points earned for me in the run up to christmas.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 875 ✭✭✭mean gene


    im a medium but ordered a large and the large fits me perfectly -nice jacket


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,158 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    I had a website site issue with M&MDirect.co.uk and ended up with 3 of the same Jacket(different Jacket). I don't have them, they have supposedly shipped(although Couriers are still waiting since Sunday) but I have been charged for 3 Jackets. :D

    Now, even though I posted this offer, I'm slightly annoyed at them getting business through my good word of mouth because their customer service has been dire since Monday.

    If one of them happens to be double xl I'll happily swap for an xl. Xl fits but is a little snug.

    Not a caterpillar jacket though.

    Mine arrived today. Never any issues with m&m until today. First off, ordered a medium, and got a medium. Size is goog so don't know what previous posts are about relating to them being undersized.

    That said, zip don't work, and left hood cord broken. A few loose threads here and there. I just have this feeling that even though the label and tags say CAT, it just is not of the usual CAT quality. So, wrapped it up for the long road to returnsville:(

    Bugger.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,158 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    Seems I have two in DPD Athlone and one on the way to Belfast. So for €4.99 vs £4.50 the Irish stuff gets here quicker.


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 12,781 Mod ✭✭✭✭Zascar


    Mine was a bigger size/fit than I expected - but not as full/puffy as I was hoping for. Still happy enough!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,273 ✭✭✭racso1975


    same as above poster went for xl. obviously my fault not theirs but lovely jacket and will be fairly handy for he snowy months :eek:

    Just onto them. It'lll cost 20 quid to send back with an post. They will refund postage cost if item is faulty, and either refund or replace. Might give them another go as I quite like it. That said, I'm still confident that they are 2nds at best. Definitely not the finish you would expect from a premium brand.

    I went uk aswell, the price difference was too much to ignore. They have a 24.99 jackey for 34.99 euro so can't justif it. I'll be happy if the gear is in new condition.

    Get them to email you a pre paid label and you use parcel motel costing €4.50. Basically parcel motel hand it to the Royal Mail with a collect + barcode, you stick to the box, and job done. That's how I'm sending something back to them soon.
