4.0 out of 5 stars Jack Murphy Malvern - Ladies full-length 100% waterproof coat 6 Mar 2010
By K. J. Griffiths

Colour Name:Navy|Size Name:16|Amazon Verified Purchase

I placed this order as a gift for my wife, who is always complaining of getting wet and being unable to purchase a fully 100% waterproof long coat. I Looked on my trusted Amazon website and found this product, it was easy to order and arrived in just a few days. Having worn the coat my wife is delighted and says it not only 100% waterproof, but comfortable and stylish as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect! 2 Nov 2010
By Courtney P

Colour Name:Navy|Size Name:10

I just moved to Scotland from the US south, and was quite unprepared for the rainy, windy weather. On my second day here, I walked 4 miles in pouring down/blowing in my face rain, and determined that I need SOMETHING to avoid becoming completely drenched through every layer from head to toe. I borrowed my flatmate's short rain jacket, but found that my trousers became soaked. This was one of the only full length waterproof coats I found, and it's really been perfect for this weather. I like that there's a detachable hood so I can wear my warmer coat underneath if the climate requires it and use the warmer hood. I thought I would look like I was wearing a big sack, especially since I got a size bigger than I would normally wear, but it's really not bad looking at all. It's also light to carry about in changeable weather. I've been quite happy with this coat.

2.0 out of 5 stars Delivery costs have put me off this item. 7 April 2013
By Brian Horton

Colour Name:Chinchilla|Size Name:18|Amazon Verified Purchase

When I odered his item reviews said thecot was generous in size and to order next size down which I did, when the coat came and I tried it on it did not fit. Having paid for delivery and another £5-20 to return it the coat has cost me around £9 just to try yhe coat on.
Sadly this is the first disappointment I have had when buying goods thruogh Amazon.
I liked the coat but am not going to send for another just to pay that amount again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful coat for dog walkers 11 Oct 2011
By elanmc

Colour Name:Garnet|Size Name:14|Amazon Verified Purchase

Living in the beautiful but wet Lake District, I needed a coat that would keep me warm and dry when out walking my 2 dogs. This coat fulfills the role really well. I thought it might be too long at first but with my wellies on as well, I'm completely covered and don't have to rush home to change out of wet clothes anymore.I would definitely recommend it to anyone who walks dogs regularly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 13 Jun 2012
By lindylou

Colour Name:Navy|Size Name:10|Amazon Verified Purchase

Bought this coat for dog walking, with the weather we have been having its been brilliant, no more wet knees in the long grass. Down sized from my usual 12 to a 10 due to previous reviews and its perfect. Love it!

3.0 out of 5 stars OK 15 Mar 2011
By Shelly

Colour Name:Blackberry|Size Name:12|Amazon Verified Purchase

I got the size 12 in blackberry but maybe i should have gone for a size 10 or 8. i'm 5"4
I expected the top portion to be a little bigger as i am usually a size 10 on top and size 12 on bottom, The bottom portion fits fine with some space over my hips but the top felt 2 or 3 sizes bigger, the arms especially.
I was warm enough with a light cardigan underneath in late January. Kept me dry in medium london showers.
Good length, althought at times the wind would get in and inflate the coat also the back pleats would get caught in between my feet.
Nice colour, i like purple/ plum colours

4.0 out of 5 stars Coat for wet dog walks 14 Oct 2010
By Mad dogs and Englishwoman

Colour Name:Blackberry|Size Name:10

Amazing how few full-length waterproof coats there are. This is just the ticket for walking dogs in wet weather and not having to change your clothes after. Buy a coloured coat, match or clash with coloured wellies and cheer up the day!

3.0 out of 5 stars Be wary about sizing down + ignore blackberry image colour 21 Oct 2013
By Lady H.

Amazon Verified Purchase

I sized down on this as most people said it was the sensible thing to do. I am a 10-12 so went for 10. Tight across back and sleeves too short. Wish I had gone with 12 instead. Please check their size guide very carefully. The sizes are different for their Heritage range and their standard range.

Colour way off the mark. Ordered blackberry as thought it would be, well, blackberry. Turned out to be more like Amethyst - definitely light purple and never seen a blackberry, or even a Ribena berry for that matter. If you are going to order blackberry look at the matching hat - more like the true colour - and even that is darker than the actual coat. SUBSEQUENT EMAIL FROM BEST OF THE COUNTRY SAID THAT THEY KNOW SOME OF THE COLOURS ARE WRONG BUT WERE UPLOADED BY ANOTHER SELLER AND AMAZON WILL NOT CHANGE THEM OR LET THEM CHANGE THEM. PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT SOME OTHER ITEMS - PREFERABLY ON THE JACK MURPHY WEBSITE FIRST TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE ORDERING THE CORRECT COLOUR because some of the colours on Amazon are wrong.

Sent it back and queried why I had not had a postage refund - hence found out the issue with colours above. Best of the Country gave me a goodwill refund but if you do your homework you will not go through this hassle. Material, lining and length all perfect. Hood a bit mean, but lightweight.

I then decided to pay a bit more for an oilskin and found this Kakadu lightweight breathable version from a seller based in Germany - take a look Kakadu Traditional Oilskin Drover, made from MicroWax, 2O10. Unlike Drizabone it come half way down my wellies (5ft6) and does not reach the floor like Drizabone.

Buy Winter Boots at Amazon.co.uk

Purchased this item as a gift, had been looking for this type of coat for a long time but had not found one at a resonable price until now. Good quality at a sensible price. A perfect gift.

2.0 out of 5 stars Reasons for not giving the coat a higher rating., 3 Nov 2013
By rochefmp

This review is from: Jack Murphy Malvern Bush Coat (Misc.)

When a coat says it's cotton lined there is perhaps an assumption that it is lined throughout. However this coat, as with so many others, does not have a cotton lining in the sleeves. This is a MAJOR disappointment. The styling and practicality of the coat is good but the lack of cotton lining in the sleeves means it will NOT be entirely comfortable in warm wet weather - which is what it surely was designed for??????

1.0 out of 5 stars beware, 22 Oct 2013
By chayla "chayla" (spain)

This review is from: Jack Murphy Malvern Bush Coat (Misc.)

I know these come up large but this coat is huge, like a bell tent, even allowing for wearing thick layers of clothing underneath it, it swamped me. did not consider changing for smaller size as I had to pay courier fees to return it, so be careful if you order from this supplier. colour was more like deep navy than amethyst, agree the photo looks bu tthen the other photos on website did not all tally with colour description. rang the company but they sounded disinterested. today I saw same coat locally at cheaper price and could have tried it on, so waste of my money to pay carriage both ways, however I have since bought a waxed coat which I am more than pleased with.
