Yet again another coat thread.

[HowsTheSerenity]

PLease don't hate me for starting another coast thread.

I am looking for something, well it is hard to describe.
Think 20's or 40's style. Agatha Christie, Dior New Look, to wear with a nice hat and gloves. Your grandmother going to town look.
Does that make sense? Given A/W looks this year I might stand a chance.
I just bought a fab navy blue winter wool felt hat which has brown ribbon and baubles on it.

I have been looking at the other coat threads and online but everything is military (which I love but cant do double breasted or double button).

Thanks heaps!!!

Can you link to the style you're thinking of?

This sort of thing? Or this? Or this?

That is the thing. I cant find a link to anything. Maybe I am looking too early? I thought maybe someone had come acros something in their travels.

Tethers - just looked at the links. You are right on the ball! You are wonderful. Many thanks.

If I were you I would buy vintage- it will be warm, superb quality and affordable. Have just bought a vintage faux leopard coat and it's amazing. I don't care if it's August

What is with the three quarter length sleeves on Winter coats this year ?Freezing, soaking arms is not my idea of fun (as nice as they look)

The secret is long gloves

Where do you buy vintage tethersned? Anywhere online?

I live in London so quite a few vintage shops- otherwise ebay still has some great pieces (in amongst the shit), particularly the US site. Rokit now have a website and I have got my best ever bargains from charity shops

Oooh, just saw this which is simple but a bargain and would look great with a brooch.

I can never find anything to foit me in charity shops. It seems that only skinny people donate clothes

what about this

Will I look like a ugly 70's sofa?

or this

Bracelet sleeves and cashmere wristwarmers = v cute and still warm enough (unless in Prague in -12, like I was last year!).

Love that third one in your first post, Tethers.

this

or this

So I think all those listed are my final choices.
Can someone pick one for me please.

Out of those, I like the IO one the best; had one eye on it anyway.

Disclaimer- I do actually own and love a 70s sofa

I like the IO one but it says its 100% polyester - that can't be right surely? Not considering its original price.

the IO one you linked to is only available in a size 8 and the only thing that fits in a size 8 is my foot.

I do like the reversible patterned one.

That's the one I meant- the reversible one.

Thank you tethers. I really do not need a coat. I am moving back to Australia in December but I WANT one.
I am never going to wear it once I get back to Brisbane but still.....
