Do they sell wool dressing gowns in the UK?

Hello
My fil told me my mil needs a warm housecoat for Christmas. A wool one, with a lining, like the one he has had for the past 30 years, that one came from Scotland.
I live in Canada and cannot find one. Other than a cashmere robe for $600.00, which I cannot afford. It isn't what he means anyways.
If anyone knows of a place that sells them, and could link me, I would be grateful.
TIA

Is this any good or too pricey?

EldritchCleavage · 16/12/2010 15:18

Or this one?

Brora or I think the white company have some although my local store had sold out

Sorry you said housecoat, so you probably mean something that buttons rather than wraps. M & S do one in fleece but not wool, but it is not a thing of beauty.. Here

Thank-you Eldritch and pagwatch. I think she may prefer a wrap around style, I haven't seen her in a button one in a long time. The first link, the tartan ones, are similar to what I mean, but I can't afford that price.
Just spent all evening going from store to store looking, and the warmest ones are all fleece or terry, no wool, other than the expensive cashmere ones. I think I will risk a thick terry velour type of robe, I find them very warm. Maybe a heated throw would be good too.
Thanks for again for you help, I loved that White Company. And I just now got an idea. Her niece lives in Scotland, I shall e-mail her, she will know exactly what she would like too! Why didn't I think of that earlier?

I saw this on ebay:

cgi.ebay.co.uk/French-Cheslyn-toast-warm-long-wool-dressing-gown-16-/220710479779?pt=Women_s_Clothing&hash=item33635ea7a3#ht_661wt_1141

It has been used though... but perhaps you could track down the brand...

Thanks for those links ladies. I am still searching, but don't expect to find one in time for Christmas.
Thanks again.
