Boden’s £185 autumn jacket with detail that ‘adds interest’ now £59

Fashion enthusiasts on the lookout for the perfect autumn jacket ahead of the seasonal shift claim they have ‘found the one’ at Boden. Those who have already snapped up this stylish piece insist it’s a ‘good choice’, pairing seamlessly with jumpers or dresses.

The Faux Shearling Jacket usually sells for £185, but shoppers can grab it for £59.20. It’s available in sizes six to 22, most of which are still in stock online.

Designed with cold days in mind, the jacket is crafted from a butter-soft faux exterior that replicates the luxurious feel of real shearling. It boasts a semi-fitted shape that ends at the low hip, offering a streamlined silhouette that is both flattering and versatile.

The jacket is fully lined with an ultra-soft borg fabric and is completed with front pockets for carrying small essentials. With its classic colour scheme, it can be paired with virtually any autumn and winter pieces already in your wardrobe.

Meanwhile, River Island’s Borg Lined Aviator Jacket is available in either brown or black for £89. Featuring a cosy borg inner lining, the jacket showcases an oversized collar with a buckle strap detail, giving it a high-end look despite its price tag, reports the Manchester Evening News.

A cost-effective alternative is available at Mango, with the Double Sided Fleece Jacket now priced at £42.99, a 57% reduction from its original price of £99.99. Crafted from a cotton-rich denim fabric, the jacket features a shearling interior, a shirt collar and two patch pockets.

Meanwhile, at Boden, the Faux Shearling Jacket has received a four-star rating out of five based on nine reviews. One pleased customer commented: “Really love the length of the jacket which goes with jumpers and dresses.”

Another shared: “I’ve been looking at faux shearling coats for more than a month and finally decided on this one. Good choice, it is well-made, beautiful colour, with details (like lined pockets) that add interest but aren’t too much. I’m 5’7″ and it hits just above my hips, which is exactly what I wanted (too low and jackets make me look bottom heavy). It fits me perfectly – I got the 6, a size above my usual 4 – with room in the shoulders, arms, and torso for a sweater. Perfect.”

One other person wrote: “I nearly didn’t buy this due to the reviews but you really got to see it for yourself. I pinched the Boden styling (thank you) and wore it with the Catriona striped roll neck and navy trousers and bright red shoes (and leopard on another day) and it looked great. It’s cute and cosy but styled right, looks sharp about town. It’s a winner for me. It is boxy but with this style it does not matter, in my opinion.”

However, one shopper gave the Faux Shearling Jacket a two-star review, stating it’s ‘not worth the price tag’. The review reads: “Arrived with the stitching undone on the collar. and ‘m still waiting for my refund. Overall quality was poor – like something you would buy on the high street for much less. Not worth the price.”

On the other hand, another customer was thrilled with their latest Boden purchase, saying: “The jacket is soft, lightweight and washable. It fits my size exactly and a sweater fits underneath. It would be too cold for me to stand around at the Christmas market but it’s perfect for hiking with a chic stop at a café.”
