It has some warmth to it for rainy days in the northeast, plus the hood is helpful. I got a lot of compliments just the first day I wore it. Very happy all around. Excellent quality in workmanship.

Beautiful coat, but totally not water proof! I got soaked in a spring downpour. From now on I'm sticking to my not-cute, but very waterproof Gore-tex shell.
Not looking forward to being sopping wet at the office for a few hours until I dry out...

Beautiful coat. I saw the navy coat with stripes in the catalog and had to have it. Very excited when it finally showed up and I was not disappointed. This coat is great for cool and/or rainy days as it is heavy duty. I love the design and like that you can remove the hood if need be. The extra deep pockets are a plus. I ordered a size 6 and overall it fits well - it could use a little extra room around the chest (that and the fact that it's dry clean only is why I gave it "only" 4 stars).

This coat was my spring splurge and has not disappointed! I never doubted that Boden would make a great raincoat, but this has exceeded all expectations. The 60's Lime flower is eye catching and people literally stop to compliment me every time i wear it. It certainly brightens up a gloomy day! I'm a size 4-6 and I ordered an 8 b/c i wanted it roomy enough to fit under a variety of clothes and blazers. Overall, best purchase of 2013!

I purchased the parchment stripe. The colors go well with tan handbag and tan shoes. I love matching up things and I love that Boden can offer same colors in the clothes to match up. The coat is durable and perfect for rainy weather and the hood is what I needed most. I have other trench coats but I needed a hood. This is perfect for school and shopping, work and even church. Looks great with dresses and pants.

See my earlier review in praise of the telephone rep.

I absolutely LOVE this coat. It's the first non-outdoorsy-raincoat I've ever bought, and I'm so excited about it and know I'll wear it for years. It is beautifully made, with all of Boden's signature pretty little details (fabric inside the hood, pretty colored piping inside the jacket.)I bought the white and I can't wait to wear it to work, instead of my old hiking raincoat. So elegant and beautiful.

I absolutely love this jacket. The day I got it, it rained and I was never more excited to see rain. It is comfortable, stylish and durable. I'll definitely be wearing this for many years to come!

I have ordered the a Mac before and wanted the navy color. Love the style, comfort and look of this coat. Bonus that it has the hood. My winters can be rainy so I needed that hood. Love Love Love
I have been given many compliments on this coat.

I ordered in two sizes, waiting for the larger one to arrive. I normally wear a 6P, but the 4 in the rainy day mac was too tight. Hopefully the 6 will fit better!!!
