Suspect this thread has been done a million times before, sorry!

I want a black, lightweight raincoat, at least mid thigh length and possibly longer (but no longer than knee length).

I want it to be breathable, so ideally with a cotton lining.

I have a Joules Coast and the fabric/weight is perfect for me, but they don't do black.

Any ideas where to look, please?

[HowDeeDooDee]

Whats your budget.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Flexible, but I don't really want to go over £100 unless I find something absolutely perfect. So ideally somewhere that does good offers!

Not a trench coat?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I want waterproof. Have got a trench coat but got drenched in it the other day, even with a huge brolly.

I have just been looking for this! Have come across rains and happy rainy day I think

I have a tin cloth coat from them which is absolutely great.

Seasalt
Cragghoppers
Hunter but more around 200 pounds

[HowDeeDooDee]

Uniqlo have a lot but running out of sizes

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I like that Seasalt one. Do they ever have offers?

The Rains ones look nice, but seem to be rubbery looking, and ideally I want it to look/feel a bit cottonish.

[Ellapaella]

I have the seasalt kellifray in black which seems to meet all your criteria. Had it since 2015 and it's still going strong.

Would you consider green?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Thanks, both.

I would consider green if I had to, but I don't like Kin stuff - it's made for people much taller than I am, and I don't much like that shade either. I'd consider a 'proper' khaki, but would prefer black.

Seasalt definitely looking most like what I want, but I don't really want to spend £140.

[Livingthecovidaloca]

Have you looked at Iles Jacobsen?

[Ellapaella]

Not black but These raincoats are decent quality for the price and have a similar look to Seasalt

[SadiePurple]

I've seen black Didrikson for £80 but only available in size 12, RRP is £180 so a bargain

[askinfforfriend]

I ordered this one. Should arrive today 😊

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

No to all of those, sorry.

Might have to save up for the Seasalt one!

[Bloomburger]

I've a nice one from Lululemon but it was a bit more than you want to pay. Have had it couple of days and 3 people have asked me where it's from already so feels like I've found Holy Grail of raincoats!

Protected Species?

[Ellapaella]

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie I would just save for the one you really want. You won't regret it - my Seasalt coat has lasted so well.

[TooMinty]

As you are going for black, then a slightly more expensive one is a good investment. Won't go out of fashion so you can get a good few years out of it.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Bloom - can you link, please?

I think I need to review my budget. I wouldn't think twice about spending £200 on a leather jacket, for example, but somehow I resent paying it on a raincoat!

[Miseryisabutterfly]

Rains! I have one in red, lining is like this... it’s not rubbery on the outside and I find it pretty breathable (see vents!). We had torrential rain here today and it kept me dry for 3 school runs.

[Trumpton]

This is not in budget but I know they do offers .
I have had mine at least two years and absolutely love it . Soft and comfortable and I queued for 2 hours in the pouring rain and was still dry.

I saw a Rains one in TK Maxx and it was quite rubbery looking/feeling. Maybe they're not all the same?

That PS one is nice. I'll have a look at the website.
