Boys' Coats for Ages 0 to 15
Boys' coats at MINOTI run from newborn sizes to age 15, taking you from the pushchair years through to secondary school. A coat is the outer layer of a cold-weather outfit, so it needs to fit over a jumper or hoodie without pulling across the shoulders. Fabrics, colours and weights differ from coat to coat, and each product page lists what that style is made of.
Boys' padded coats trap warm air in their filling, which makes them the usual choice for boys' winter coats in the UK. Put a long-sleeved top and a jumper underneath rather than one thick knit, so he can take a layer off indoors. When you buy a boys' coat online, measure his height first and go by that rather than his age. Check the care label before washing a padded coat, as fillings vary.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's boys' coats collection holds warm outer coats for boys aged 0 to 15, with sizes given in centimetres by height, so a 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm and a 10-year-old takes 146 cm.
What size coat should I buy for a boy aged 3-4?
Boys' coats for age 3-4 are size 104 cm. If he is tall for his age, or you want room for a thick jumper, 110 cm (age 4-5) gives extra length in the body and arms and is more likely to last into the next winter.
Does my son need a waterproof coat as well as a padded one?
Often yes, because not every padded coat is waterproof, so check the product page. For a wet walk to school, a boys' waterproof coat over a jumper keeps him dry. Once it drops to around 5°C, a padded coat is the better pick.
