Coat weather in the north of England rarely gives notice. One week a light jacket does the job, the next there’s a wind coming off the Tyne. The Jules B discount code LAYERUP takes 20% off at julesb.co.uk until 20 November 2026. That leaves a few weeks to sort the layers before it turns properly cold.
The test was simple. A £115 basket took the code, and £23 came off. The total landed at £92.
Jules B started in 1984 with one womenswear shop in Jesmond, Newcastle. Julian and Rhona Blades opened it. Today there are four boutiques across the North, plus the website.

The coat gets worn more than anything else in winter. Put the most money there, and 20% off does the most work.
- Barbour: the British country jacket most people picture.
- Hugo Boss and Paul Smith: sharper coats for town.
On a £300 coat, for example, the code saves £60.
Knitwear Does Double Duty Under A Coat And On Its Own
A good jumper earns its place twice. It goes under a coat on cold mornings. It stands alone once the heating kicks in.
- Paul Smith and Hugo Boss cover men’s knitwear.
- Circolo 1901 makes jersey blazers, tailoring that feels close to a knit.
Oska And Crea Concept Keep Womenswear Relaxed
- Relaxed: Oska and Crea Concept, with loose shapes that layer easily.
- Sharper: Victoria Beckham and Alice + Olivia.
Eton Shirts And Magnanni Shoes Complete The Look
Shirts sit closest to the skin. Shoes finish things off. Both count toward the 20%.
- Eton and Stenstroms: shirts.
- Magnanni: shoes.
The Portland Leather Goods discount covers leather bags and wallets to go with a new coat.
Adding One More Piece Can Cover The Delivery Charge
Delivery costs depend on speed and basket size.
| Service | Cost | Free over | Arrives |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard (Royal Mail or EVRi) | £3.95 | £120 | 2 to 3 working days |
| Express (Royal Mail) | £5.95 | £200 | 1 to 2 working days |
| DPD Next Day | £5.95 | £200 | Next working day |
| DPD Go Green Next Day | £6.45 | Not stated | Next working day |
The £92 test basket missed free standard delivery by £28, if the threshold counts after the discount. One more piece would close the gap.
- Next-day orders need to go in by 1pm, Monday to Thursday.
- The homepage also runs EX10, an extra 10% off selected items. The 20% code is twice the size.
The Code Goes In At Checkout, Before Payment
- Add everything to the basket.
- Go to checkout.
- Type LAYERUP into the discount box.
- Check the total before paying. If a brand doesn’t take the 20%, it will show here.
Checkout takes PayPal and Klarna as well.
Returns Are Free In Store But Cost Money By Post
Shoppers get 28 days from delivery to send things back, unworn with the tags on. Posting a return through Royal Mail costs £4.50, taken from the refund. Dropping it at one of the four stores costs nothing.
A few items can’t come back at all: underwear and lingerie, pierced earrings, face masks, and perfume once the seal is broken. Exchanges are for UK orders only, and refunds go through within one to two working days of the parcel arriving. Order before the 20th, and the coat should beat the weather.
