Quilted coats

The puffer has been elevated in recent years and we are very happy about it. No longer classed as country attire, quilted liner jackets feel contemporary because of how versatile they are. They’ll serve you in the city with jeans and trainers, but also work with wellington boots and jumpers for rural walks. And who says you have to stick to neutrals?
