I am sure that is not new ? It it is it is an old style rehashed as I sent 2 to recycling in the summer that I had for many years.

thats all subjective again as lots where i am call it a coat but its each to their own

QVC always seem to call outerwear "coats" with "jacket" meaning something you could wear under a coat. I wonder whether it's an American thing? Like trouser (singular) and pump (singular and not for P.E.)

Im going by length and coverage .Anything above a three quarter length I would think of as a jacket or anorak .
Probably I'm being old fashioned in expecting a coat to cover most of my body and legs and keep me warm.

It is just QVC trying to sell something as something else i.e. Selling a jacket for the price of a coat

The problem for me is that length it for my limits what you can wear underneath as it hangs down.

I would definitely say anything that length is a jacket. It certainly wouldn't be warm enough for the Winters around here, I find anything that isn't at least mid-thigh length too cold for Winter.

It's also expensive for a Centigrade jacket, the prices seem to be creeping up.

Oh, and that looks like very other jacket/coat Centigrade do. Padded check. furry hood check, looks like all the other padded furry hooded jacket/coats they have done before, check.

That doesn't even cover the models' bum! I hate hooded jackets/coats like that totally useless in wet weather. Your head might be dry but hell your bottom half will be soaked.

I agree! a wet bum = a cold person!

At the price it is similar in price to some of M& S offerings.
To replace the Jackets I have got rid of, have bought a knee length patterned waterproof from Bon Marche. Though it is not padded it is warm lined and I can always wear a gillet or fleece underneath it, and can wear it for longer not just when bitterly cold. I have already worn it quite a bit, and I had 20% off as bought when on offer, and the staff in my local one are very helpful, even told them so.

Centigrade Chevron Panel Down & Feather Coat with Faux Fur Detachable Hood

QVC Price £70.00
Todays Special Value Price £52.98

Be prepared to stave off the winter chills with this Centigrade quilted coat featuring chevron design panels, a detachable hood with faux fur trim, and a lovely, cosy weight that doesn't feel too heavy or bulky. If you love getting out and about on those frosty days and need a jacket that can live up to the challenge, then look no further than this Centigrade down blend coat.

Stay safe outdoors - reflective trims on the zips and cuffs will make sure you're seen in the dark if you're out walking the dog or popping to the shops.

Designed to flatter - cleverly placed diagonal panels at the waist create a cinched in effect; just because you're wearing a winter coat doesn't mean you can't show off your figure!

lands end are good specially if you catch a good bargain

Ann Dawson is calling it a winter jacket .At least she gets it.

See, there they go again, why feather and down when a made made filling will keep the wearer of this coat equally warm? Do QVC go out of their way for animal abuse or does it just come naturally I wonder?

I am increasing finding I need to try on before I buy. I tried on 4 different sizes of the same coat in Debenhams and none were right. In Bonmarche I tried 3 differnt sizes on and the assistant brought down two for me.

Yet more proof that Ann is one of the few presenters left who still lives in the same reality as the rest of us. Well done Ann.
