Help me find a 'spring' coat (I know it's snowing but I'm hopeful!)

I want a single breasted 'mac' type coat, I have had a H&M cotton one for years but its seen better days! Don't want a belt, just for day wear budget £100ish.

I have looked in my usual online places (HoF, JL, Shopstyle etc) needing some inspiration. The perfect coat style wise is the White Stuff Fantastic Fox, but it's too pale in colour.

I'm an hourglass size 12 so needs waist detail/definition just not a belt!

Thanks!

Too straight? Asos £70

Sort of fake (v. narrow) double breasted? Also in black (and a pale one like the white stuff mac)

I do see why you are drawn to the white stuff mac, though, very interesting waist detail on it.

I bought this one in Belfast last week. I bought it in dark ash.

It looks short in this picture but I am 5' 6" and it comes to just above my knee.

I love it, has a defined waist and everyone has commented on how lovely it is.

It has a fine fleece lining, it's fab!

pinkflipflop - that is a lovely coat, I love all the colours you can get it in.

Looking on the website though it says they only ship to scandinavia, and the shop finder only shows shops in scandinavia too.

Do you know where you can get it in uk??

I love this coat so much! You can get bit in the 'Avoca' shop in Belfast city centre. I'm sure they would post to you. I'm a size 10 and got a 38 so they are true to size.

Ask me any questions about measurements etc; it's the nicest cost I've ever had! I bought it for spring wear and I love the fact it has a proper hood that stays up for walking baby etc.

That is a beautiful coat. I wish I could justify the cost. How waterproof is it?

You can get Ilse Jacobsen coats on Amazon.

It is totally waterproof!

I can't rave enough about mine! I bought it to wear with dresses, ankle boots etc and it looks fab whereas the girl in the shop had it and was a sporty type. V versatile!

I paid £149 in the shop, they seem more expensive on amazon.

Thanks SirToffee those are what I am thinking of, will take a closer look.

pink that is a lovely coat but I wanted something a bit more 'trench coat' like.

five it has a belt unfortunately!

Thanks for your help so far!
