... that isn't padded, has no fur and more importantly, isn't Barbour???

What about this one from Sportsdirect.com? www.sportsdirect.com/golddigga-wax-jacket-ladies-668435

InspiredToBoot · 29/08/2012 17:40

Thanks alicia, it is quite nice but it has fur and actually, I know this is probably stupid but I don't think I want to buy that brand. I can't explain why Blush

Friend has lovely one from M&S the indigo collection but I can't see it online.

PurpleAndPoppyWearer · 29/08/2012 17:46

I bought the M&S Indigo one earlier today, it's £69 and it's flipping gorgeous, sales assistant said they expect them to sell out.

I bought one from the m&s indigo collection but that was 2 years ago,is your friends this season or could it be older?

MrsCampbellBlack · 29/08/2012 17:47

Oh yes friend had to hunt it down but it is really lovely

MotionOfTheOcean · 29/08/2012 17:53

Is it this one.I actually returned my m&s one and bought a Superdry one instead ,nice to see I,m still in fashion 2 years on.

PurpleAndPoppyWearer · 29/08/2012 17:54

That's the one.

MotionOfTheOcean · 29/08/2012 17:59

Apart from the fact mine has a cord collar,its almost identical to my 2 year old Superdry coat,sorry had another look mine is original wax not wased denim but the styling is very very similar.

MotionOfTheOcean · 29/08/2012 18:00

OP this is nice as well,wax with no fur.

InspiredToBoot · 29/08/2012 18:00

The denim bit puts me off though
I think what I want is exactly this but for no more than £100

Tesco have some in store.

InspiredToBoot · 29/08/2012 18:04

Superdry ones are lovely... until I see the big logo at the back...

OP posts:
MotionOfTheOcean · 29/08/2012 18:21

Thats the good thing with mine,there is no logo on the back,there is a badge on the neck but my hair normally hides it,I just fell in love with it.

MotionOfTheOcean · 29/08/2012 18:22

Its this one,had to have it as soon as I saw it.

PurpleAndPoppyWearer · 29/08/2012 19:09

Have a look at the M&S one, I wouldn't have known it was denim without reading the description online.

I've been hankering after a Barbour too, but didn't want to pay that much.

Hopeforever · 29/08/2012 19:14

DSis has the Tesco one and it looks fab. No fir, no padding.

InspiredToBoot · 29/08/2012 20:43

It's lovely Motion! Does it cover your bum?

OP posts:
MotionOfTheOcean · 29/08/2012 22:18

Not completely,sits about halfway.In an ideal world I would have sized up,what with Superdry being small but I scoured the shops to find something cheaper and when I finally convinced myself to have it,it was only available in my size.I love the Barbour you linked to but not the price I,m afraid,however it would last and its a timeless fashion.Hope you find something soon.

Littlepumpkinpie · 29/08/2012 23:31

Oh I like that M&S one nice and casual and a couple left in my size :)

TellMeLater · 30/08/2012 00:59

Love the M&S one too but it looks like it would cut me across the widest part of my hips - which are not tiny enough to be highlighted.

InspiredToBoot · 30/08/2012 06:58

Motion I do think you're right in that it is a timeless fashion so maybe I should just fork our the £200; at least the one I like doesn't have a very visible Barbour label at the front!
