Getting dh to buy a winter coat for me... is this impossible??

My dh is coming over to UK and i am wanting him to get me a nice winter coat in the sales. We are going into winter soon but I haven't seen much winter coats in our shops as yet and they are so incredibly pricy here if you do find one in the limited choice we get.

Which shops would be his best bet to look for sale items? Are the sales on at the moment? I have had a look on BHS, M&S sites and think i fancy something like a belted trench. Something like [[http://www.marksandspencer.com/buttonsafe-pure-cotton-mac-with-stormwear/p/p22357925 this]] It doesn't appear that its in the sale though?

What other shops can i look at online to give him an idea of what I am looking for? He will physically have to go to the store as I can't order online (he wont be at one address long enough for me to be sure he would get an online order).

If you have seen something like this somewhere else, would you mind letting me know what shop it was and a rough price idea. I am looking for something in a neutral colour (not as light as the picture) as I am an autumn colouring as far as i can work out. Not black as too harsh for me. I wear beige, browns, greys, burgundy etc. colours. It would also be better if it was machine washable.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

what town will you be in? french connection still have coats in the sale but only in their stores which are few and far between these days, not much sale stock seen in other shops. zara has a few things

Order on line and do click and Collect / deliver to store.

South, he will be in Leeds, Watford and another place i cant think of right now Shock

Oh the click and collect thing sounds better. I just assumed the sales would be on at the moment at most shops to make way for summer stock.

Something like that cotton Mac isnt a winter coat here. It's not in the sale cause it's a spring coat. Sales will only have wool or padded proper cold weather coats.

Trench coats like the one you have linked will all still be full price for a while unfortunately - it's a spring coat really, and lots of people are buying them around now as it will get plenty wear for several months!

But that one is nice and a good price for a classic coat.

murphys · 17/03/2015 08:28

Ah, thanks that does explain it. Have you seen any like the one i linked in a grey colour anywhere? But then again, I suppose grey is not a spring colour... Confused
