I don't know what I want but I do know I need a new jacket for spring. I wear jeans a lot (actually I need a jeans alternative if anyone has any suggestions please!!), don't do much walking but do spend my days hopping in and out of the car, would like smartish casual but not dressy and I live in the back of beyond and am 40-something and a size 10 if that's of any relevance! Can you lovely fashionistas make any suggestions please!

Thanks Smile

Bumping this as I also need a jacket, been trying a lot of the trench coats but have ample norkage so shouldn't do double breasted? Need for smart but also to look ok at the weekends with leggings and jeans....

Thanks for bumping Koolkat!

something like this? I've got a longer length one in brown. Can't find on-line so probably not part of spring/summer range. My circumstances/needs sound similar to yours and it's perfect!

sorry, link was meant to be to 'Molly Jacket', 2nd row, which is now reduced!

I've just bought this which ticks those boxes for me.

Oh I really like the Hobbs jacket Castle - it's along the lines of what I was thinking of except my current jacket is black quilted and I really need a change, I think. Ooh, love the blazer but just too smart for my lifestyle/everyday needs!

Okay, browsing at the minute, so a few links

Barbour

Crew not sure about the belt though.

Boden this but not this IYKWIM!

Can't find any more at present!

Tried a nice one on in Oasis and one in white stuff but tight on the bust and the next size up to big. I quite fancy this gap one: www.gap.eu/browse/product.do?cid=57365&vid=1&pid=808645
but don't know whether it would be shiney?

I bought this one with duffle style buttons - I love it, looks much better on than in the pic.
