Finding an autumn and winter coat or jacket that’s smart enough for work, yet stylish enough for casual wear can be a challenge. Add to that the need for a piece that will last, and can be worn repeatedly with jeans, dresses and athleisure wear, and it’s tough to know where to begin.
During fashion editor Rachel Pugh’s search for a coat that meets all these criteria, she stumbled upon Seasalt Cornwall’s Boscastle Organic Cotton Mac, and became smitten with it. She said: “It’s beautiful to look at, and it appears far more costly than it actually is. Plus, I know I’ll be wearing it practically every day.”
Seasalt Cornwall’s Boscastle Organic Cotton Mac is one of the brand’s top-selling autumn coats, and it has received heaps of compliments from those who have purchased it. Even better, it’s currently on sale.
Usually priced at £125, it’s been reduced to £75.95 for a short time as part of the retailer’s autumn sale, offering shoppers a 30% saving. While it may not be the most affordable option on the high-street, even at its discounted price, fashion enthusiasts maintain that you get what you pay for in terms of quality, and have been amazed by how much use they get out of it, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The autumn-to-winter mac coat, available in sizes 8 to 28, comes in two striking colours – both of which have wowed shoppers. Fashion lovers can choose between Dark Dijon (a mustard yellow), or Maritime Blue.
Described as a ‘truly versatile piece that you’ll reach for through the seasons’, this long organic cotton jacket from Seasalt Cornwall is taking shoppers by storm with its classic collar, stylish mock-horn buttons, convenient tab cuffs and angled pockets. Designed to be cinched at the waist with tabs for an adjustable fit, it’s already winning over customers.
This iconic Seasalt Cornwall number, the Boscastle Organic Cotton Mac, has blown away the online shopping community with its exceptional quality and perfect-for-autumn shades. It has earned an impressive 4.4-star rating out of five on the company’s website.
Praise is pouring in from satisfied customers, with one elated buyer gushing about the Boscastle Organic Cotton Mac: “I absolutely love it! It feels and looks wonderful. I’ve worn it every day since I got it.”
Another enthusiast couldn’t hide their delight, commenting: “Beautiful colour and quality, size 14, true to size. Have wanted one for ages. Was out of stock and then l got it. Very happy.” One more added their voice, noting: “I love this coat . The colour is very autumnal.. pleased with my purchase.”
Someone else was utterly ‘totally blown away’ by the garment, leaving a review that read: “I ordered a size 14 petite of the Boscastle Organic Cotton Mac in the Dark Dijon version. It arrived quickly and fit beautifully. The colour is just wonderful. I am looking forward to wearing it on my trip to Italy this autumn.”
Some shoppers weren’t quite satisfied, as one noted the fit issues: “Lovely coat only one problem the sleeves are very long I have just rolled them back.”
Yet another customer was thrilled enough to double up, saying: “I had to buy it in both colours, I’m a size 12 and went for a 10. The yellow is sooo stunning and you can chuck it on with any clothes and the shape is gorgeous, a real win-win for Seasalt this one.”
Meanwhile, another happy buyer gave a glowing five-star review of the Boscastle Organic Cotton Mac: “I was dubious about ordering but knew as soon as I saw it that it was perfect for me. It is lightweight but not ‘flyaway’ good quality material. Slip-in front pockets with enough room, and agin beautifuly finished. Ordered the Navy and the colour is good, very pleased and it fitted like a glove, Petite size. Would recommend for those ‘little bit of rain’ days that we have so many of in our part of the country.”
