When you buy a coat you expect it to last more that 5 minutes but these days you can't even count on that. I bought a new waterproof jacket ready for the winter months. The first day it rained I put my brand new coat on zipped it up and it fell apart. It wasn't as if I'd tugged at it or used it loads of times. Shoddy. Just shoddy. I'm saving my pennies for a new one, but I'll get it from somewhere else this time.
