So, I am fed up of being cold and I have been looking around for a super warm bargainous winter coat for next year. After the rave reviews on the Merrell Wakefield, I decided to sacrifice style for warmth and get the Isadore (even through I will be wearing a duvet). I have found the black one reduced from £220 to £120 here. And just so it happens, the weather has turned cold again and I may even get a chance to wear it this year 
Hope this helps someone.
