Keeping checking the Lands End site, sometimes they come back in stock.

It's still in stock in most sizes and colours. Maybe they'll have some returns?

\link{http://www.landsend.co.uk/pp/StylePage-92972_YY.html?CM_MERCH=REC--LIPP--GGT--2--92972-_-312691\or this}. I know its petite but I am sure I ordered a coat from them before and I am far from petite and it was ok.

I know, its rubbish when you set your heart on something and then it's gone, nothing quite compares. Keep your fingers crossed, a coat I wanted from there last year kept coming in and out of stock, I think I was checking the site about 5 times a day at one point. Xmas Grin

Perhaps will buy regular in small in white and see what it looks like and return if not right
I think I will seize the moment
or this, but it is double price www.e-outdoor.co.uk/detail.aspx?id=337424&utm_source=Froogle&utm_medium=PriceComp&utm_term=Froogle&utm_content=None&utm_campaign=PriceComp1

And white has sold out in my size.
Probably the best as it tends to wash me out

The parka style no good? Did you want it longer?

Looks like not a bad coat, not a bad price.

Have a look on Amazon, Columbia Melange Maven mid length woman's insulated down jacket reduced from £150 to £78, they have black in XS and S. Also worth looking on ebay if you are prepared to trawl for the one you want.

Cotswold Outdoors showing North Face Arctic Parka in stock in S and XS in Black. I used a code earlier in week to get 15% off so about £220. Let me know if you want code and I'll try and find it.
