Trying to find a coat/jacket for 18mth old girl that is not lurid pink/shiny? Any ideas

Pumpkin patch?

Littlefish · 23/11/2007 14:10

H&M
Pumpkin Patch
Boden
Verbaudet (catalogue)

These are just about the only places I've found that seem to do clothes for girls which are not predominantly pink/lilac/shiny/frilly/sequinned/covered in hideous slogans!

what about this?

inamuckingfuddle · 23/11/2007 14:17

do you mind second hand? my twin girls are nearly 4 now so I have a few non girly coats going spare!

Have had a look at Pumpkin Patch online but wasn't that much there - propbably better off going instore. Will try the others that you all mentioned. Thanks

john rocha at debenhams

got DD a gorgeous khaki coat with a pretty lining

Camillathechicken · 23/11/2007 14:18

here it is ! and links to their other stuff, sale on at the mo!

Botbot · 23/11/2007 14:19

My 16mo dd has this one. Has a bit of girly embroidery but I think this is outweighed by the general khaki-ness of it. It's in the sale too!

Botbot · 23/11/2007 14:19

Ha, snap! It's lovely, isn't it?

crazymum1 · 23/11/2007 14:20

Debenhams one looks nice - will pop there tomorrow to see it in the flesh. I never mind second hand, infact most of my daughters clothes are second hand so looking to buy her something new for Christmas! Sad I know, she hasn't got a clue but something I wanted to do! Thanks anyway.

stealthsquiggle · 23/11/2007 14:24

Oooh - am liking baby chick's khaki coat (and baby botbots ) - but DD has a perfectly serviceable coat inherited from DS so no excuse [sigh]

traditional duffle coat in red or navy (although it is available in pink)
cotton lined embroidered military jacket -- third item down
floral zip front stretch jacket in teal -- third item down
puffy jacket in ruby or walnut
this from Boden still available in purple in her size

I've got some stuff from Littlebabycompany. They do some great unisex items as well as some fairtrade and organic clothing. Use voucher code NC07 for 10% off (valid until Christmas)
