Diane's plus size fashion blog - June 2015

June 27th. Hooded Waxed Jacket available to size UK18 from the SS15 Celtic & Co. Collection.

Have I been unwell again some of you have asked ? ( the implied question being "or why has nothing gone up for a month" ? ) Thankfully I'm in good health:- it's just the time of year. With 2 teenage daughters taking important exams, and with the finish of my own lecturing year at NWIFE and student project marking and finishing I just haven't had a moment. But with summer holidays now started I should have much more time. This week I'm looking at a jacket from Celtic & Co.

Celtic & Co are a British company based in Cornwall, England.  Famous for their handmade sheepskin boots and slippers, they also however retail clothing, footwear and accessories specially chosen to compliment a complete look.  I was particularly drawn to their Spring Summer 2015 Collection as I feel their items offer a "smart casual, lazy Sunday, quality relaxing time" look and feel.

Over the next few days as I get back into the swing of things, I am going to bring you my selection of clothing that I think are must haves from the Collection.  I'd like to point out that, where possible, Celtic & Co source their products from within the UK and Ireland.

Celtic & Co Cotton Hooded Wax Jacket
Waxed Cotton Hooded Jacket - £160 - Available to size UK18

This smart casual hooded coat is perfect for the country girl about town look.  This coat/jacket is a must have for trans-seasonal wear bringing you through the frequently wet Irish summer weather right through to Autumn and Winter storms.  It is 67cm in length from shoulder to hemline making it long enough to fully cover the back area yet it's not a heavy weight coat for wearing on warmer days.

I am 5' 9" tall and I am wearing the coat/jacket in size UK18 which is a perfect and very comfortable fit.

The coat has a checked fleece lining and a detachable hood.  I am seen in the photo wearing the coat with earlier Celtic & Co purchases I have made - a leather cross body bag (2013 I think) and a Celtic & Co linen scarf (from 2014).  I have been a customer of theirs for a number of years and one of many reasons why I keep returning to buy from them is that they also sell wonderful accessories which compliment their main line of clothing.

Celtic & Co are a quality retailer offering exceptional customer service.  I have always found that, in the long run, I can fully justify my spend with them as they consider very carefully the total product mix and how the items they offer for sale will match in with existing and new proposed product lines.  The scarf and bag that I am wearing in the photo are perfect examples of just that.
