As title says my daughter has only asked for one thing for Christmas. This coat in a size medium, but it’s not in stock anywhere near me. I keep checking on website for delivery but they go out of stock everytime any comes in. If you work for next can you tell me what time of day the website is updated with stock to give me the best chance? Anyone else if you see them in any branch please let me know! www.next.co.uk/style/su670919/f78133

This is so wonderful! Women are great aren't they.

I know lots of you are invested in this so just to let you know that the jacket is due to be delivered to me on Saturday and I'll be sending it on to Jcak after that. Hopefully a happy ending story!

I’m so happy! Thankyou so much! You are amazing! Not sure how I’m going to manage to wait until Christmas to give her it. I definitely want it. How will I pay you? Can you send bank details? I’m not sure how to send you a message with my address xx

If you tap the three dots at the top of @InIreland s post then you can send them a PM.

There's one in Ireland in medium. Postage is €8.80, plus €96.50 for coat. Currency fees will be added so I'd imagine it would cost you circa £91 thereabouts. Im happy to buy for you and post it if you'd like? You can message me directly in case I don't see your reply. Thanks

And Thankyou so much too! You are all amazing xx

I'm in Ireland and just bought one for you OP. If you don't want it I can cancel it. Cost was €96.50 + €2 delivery. I can post it to you from Northern Ireland (I'm close by) so that will cut down the cost to send to you. Let me know if you want it

Legend! Are you going to be able to keep it a secret that you've got one until your DD unwraps it on Christmas day @Jcak ?

Amazing! Whether op gets one herself or gets this one - her daughter will be happy.

Well done In Ireland and everyone that went out of their way to help. I think OP you've made this coat a must have now as many more people have become aware of it!

we were in store when we first saw it and the lady checked the stock and said there was only one in size medium in Scotland and she tried to phone and reserve it for us but the shop didn’t answer, they tried for nearly an hour, they were so lovely.

So we did a 4 hour round trip just incase and they didn’t have it. She said there was none in stock that she could order for us but to keep trying. Still haven’t managed to get one so would appreciate any help when you are at work on Sunday x

Also want to thank everyone else who has been trying to help! I honestly can’t wait to give her it if we manage to get one!

and thanks for all the other suggestions x

I will also check my local store for you tomorrow on my lunch break, it's basically next door! And if they have it I'll pick it up for you x

Arregaithel · 16/10/2025 19:04

@Jcak Do you know anyone in Austria? 🤞🏻

Zippymonkey · 16/10/2025 18:49

Thankyou so much x

I work there, I’m in Sunday if you don’t find one before then and I can have a look on the system where I can find one ☺️
It’s worth going in store if you are anywhere near one because they can order stuff in store that’s unavailable online, it takes 1-2 days rather than next day but you can get it delivered to your home if it’s not convenient to go back in! go first thing though because stock gets put back on the website about 6am when they get priority-returned.

5-7 is your best bet, then again at 9pm as returns get released back online then. There are SO many returns so the stock is there, it’s just flitting in and out, keep it in your basket and click checkout when it lets you

Sometimes stock shows differently on NEXT app compared to online. Its worth checking both ways.

SkylarksCalling · 16/10/2025 18:24

For a potential back-up option, Boohoo has this one:

I’m so invested in this! It’s lovely to see everyone trying to help out.

I do hope you manage to get hold of one OP, keep us updated! A photo of your daughter wearing it at Christmas would be brilliant 💓

Ah, bummer. Just keep checking. I’m in the same situation with a Jellycat too 🙁

What kind of jelly cat? Only asking as got a collection here and my 11 month old hasn’t noticed. So won’t miss it if it goes to a good home.

Jcak · 15/10/2025 20:35

I asked in store as they had some but not in her size so they checked and 1 miles away so went on road trip but they didn’t actually have it! Apparently no more in Scotland. Been checking website since and other sizes come in but go straight out again so was hoping to find time when they add them, checking at least 20 times a day x

I heard it’s 2am, but that was for the discounted stock. Good luck, keeping fingers crossed for you!

AutumnCosy2025 · 16/10/2025 16:51

WaneyEdge · 16/10/2025 06:42

Thanks but she wants the one with the flat cap and scarf which is only available in Oxford St Selfridges! I’m hoping they’ll get more in soon.

oh I tried googling 'capybara hipster' & looked on 'Selfridges' but it just kept showing the one in the jellycats website!?!?! So annoying. Sorry. Hope you can get it.

I'm going to have to stop looking as if i find one with a flat cap, I'm not going to be able to resist 🙇🏻‍♀️

SassyCow · 16/10/2025 12:59

Aww no! Yeah still in my basket and showing as available 😊

Is it still showing as available for the one in your basket? X
