The Warmest Winter Coats Online!

When shopping for coats and jackets online, it can be difficult to determine which coats will be very heavy and warm and which jackets are light and more suitable for warmer weather. To help you pick the best coat or jacket for your needs, we have put together our 'Cosy Coat' Scale - to give you a better idea of the warmth of our coats, jackets, parkas and raincoats. All coats and jackets are marked out of five, with 1 being the lightest, summer or warm weather jackets and 5 being the heaviest, winter and cold weather coats and jackets.
