What do you think of this spring coat?

[hereidrawtheline]

I need a spring jacket to wear every day, I only like things that go at least hip length. What do you think of this or if not any other ideas? Thanks!

Nothing too heavy!

Very nice, go for it!

it looks woollen...

I like the style and the colour, would prefer it if it was a more "Mac-like" material iyswim.

she says it feels like across between moleskin and flannel, but the fabric is cotton.

are you a size 18? (just guessing as thats the size of the one on ebay you linked)

I like the Evans ones more! Thank you. The thing about the trench look is its a bit boxy and I prefer the softer folds of the ebay linked one. But I agree about the material. Am pondering... Any more ideas would be much appreciated! And yes I am an 18. I really like grey, black, red, blues, greens... not pastels!! I am very pale with dark chocolaty hair with a bit of red and green eyes if that helps. And I really do love grey!

ooohh I am getting a custom made handbag!!! see other thread I am about to start... But do please keep advising I really need a spring jacket ASAP. My winter coat is stifling.

I chose the ebay one in the end!! I couldnt resist the soft look of the fabric. Thanks for helping me look!

nailpolish you were right!

I bought it and it was delivered, its a lovely coat and the material is very soft and nice to touch but its too heavy and warm and swamped me too much. I wanted more of a casual lightweight spring coat.

I will sell it on, it still has its tags on it, its lovely just not right for what I was looking for. I got a simple hip length black trench style jacket! Its great! Cheap and cheerful.
