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

Thankyou all so much for trying to help! I have more hope of getting it now as for past week or two ive never seen it in stock in her size so it has gave me hope that youse have seen it go in stock. Will keep trying more often today/during night but if I can’t get one I will take the lovely Irish commenter up on her offer

Sometimes MN is horrible.( quite often)

Size medium is in stock for me now. Im in Ireland if any good? Can buy it and post it to you, but it might add up the price for you if you had to add in postage (id imagine circa €10 off top of my head) and exchange rate fees through PayPal. X

You can buy jackets like that anywhere.

Tbf that is a lovely jacket 😍

Wotoo · 16/10/2025 10:36

Size medium is in (low) stock right now! Hope you get it xxx

Timetoheal4good · 16/10/2025 10:40

I'm invested in this - can the next person who sees this jacket or if they see it available online just buy it? 😂

I agree with PP who said sometimes every once in a while you see the kind side of MN

Whaleadthesnail · 16/10/2025 10:41

@Jcak it's in stock now! Go go!

hellsbells99 · 16/10/2025 11:37

That’s a lovely jacket - good luck!

She wouldn’t mind second hand but she wants the next one as it has a hood. Thanks so much for looking though x

It’s unavailable for me! I saw it says low in stock but when I put it in basket it went out of stock! It’s gave me hope though. Is it still in your basket showing available? X

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

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.

There are some on Vinted!

OP put the size large in your basket. Then edit it to a Medium. It will say unavailable.
Then if Sassycow removes it from her basket (if it's still showing as available) when you refresh it should go into your basket.
Have done this a lot with friends in the past.

The jeopardy involved in syncing it so everything was done at the right time would be giving me palpitations! I'm so invested in this thread though.

Yes it's quite the thrill. Between the Next viral kids clothes and then Argos when you could reserve stuff without paying, what a life!
Thankfully my kids are older now and won't wear Next 😂

TheGirlWhoLived · 16/10/2025 14:49

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

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 🙇🏻‍♀️

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!
