Ditto North face alternative
Am peed off as would have bought it myself to be honest if I had known this
Any other suggestions.
Longer length, faux fur collar, waterproof...
Here's hoping

It is an outlet so it generally has the old stuff that is on sale, so I don't think it has the chevron down coat.
Sorry wf, look at the us site
Thanks PD, just want it to get here now

I have that Lands End coat in petite XS (Blue) - I am an 8-10 generally. It fits fine on me so you could try an XS?

I do prefer the Landsend one to the NorthFace plus more colour, am so so so so bored with black
Have just ordered off US site.
Shipping to UK.
In total about £130 so not bad, I would have paid more than that if I had ended up buying the Northface one that I didn't even want
Got the size and fit I wanted, plus the colour
Should take 7-9 working days
Hope don't get stung too much for duty
quite excited now

The lands end one lacks fashionable credibility, imo. Go for black North Face and maybe team with a black patent bayswater?It may be snowing but it still pays to look good.

Nah, that would be too straight forward.

Am I missing something here... couldn't you get Wiki a black medium and you have her small? Confused

I will look and see if there is a medium black, there seems to be 3 fittings, regular, petite and plus, do these matter to you?

Cotswold Outdoors showing North Face Arctic Parka in stock in S and XS in Black. I used a code earlier in week to get 15% off so about £220. Let me know if you want code and I'll try and find it.

Have a look on Amazon, Columbia Melange Maven mid length woman's insulated down jacket reduced from £150 to £78, they have black in XS and S. Also worth looking on ebay if you are prepared to trawl for the one you want.
