S&B challenge: timeless style for grandma

Oh stylish ones! Do not pass by my plea!

My mum (grandma of 8) is having trouble finding a nice smart winter jacket.

Can you help? Earn brownie points by asking stylish DMs or DMiLs where they got their lovely jackets?

My mum is mid-70s, average height, size 14 - 16.

Jacket needs to be:
smart;
some wool content;
no hood;
bum-covering;
not double-breasted;
of a colour appropriate to her age and the season - but not black, brown, navy or camel (thanks Mum we all like a challenge Hmm);
indicative that she does actually have a waist (not necessarily belted, but not cocoon/ barrel-shaped);
budget £100 ish;
available on the High Street (she doesn't like mail order!).

I am visiting her next week to take her shopping, and it would be so nice if I had a few suggestions for her.

Tethersend - I can see some in there that I think she'll like very much. Thanks for that. I particularly like the M&S portfolio one - thinking I might just go for that myself ..!

Anyone else?
