Please could someone point me in the direction of the long warm waterproof flattering perfect coat......

[Chicinwellies]

That will flatter a 5'3 on-the-way-to-past-it mum? I can't find the threads. Love musto, Henri l, etc.

Has anyone seen a good, bargain one in a paler colour? I can't wear any of these wintery dark colours.

Actually - loads on that Viking kids site. Thanks.

are Jack Murphys related to Seasalt? Their websites are very similar.

Lovewearingjeans which Joules one did you buy??

Just bought a Didriksson Thelma, gorgeous

Can anyone recommend a light waterproof coat preferably knee or mid thigh length. Must not be padded. Have got my faithful Didrikson for winter.
Budget upto £100

I've got this one, which is brilliant for winter. Very warm and fits well.

Landsend is always worth a look, especially their extensive sale section. They do petite too. I've linked to the Stadium Squall which is very warm and snuggly.

Chocolou I found this site last night Happy Rainy Days. I know nothing about them, but some of the coats look nice.

Place marking. My Hudson Bay Company one bit the dust last winter and they don't make them any more.

This thread has now cost me a £100 - I sent off for a didriksons Mary yesterday in olive green. It arrived today and I bloody love it, can't wait for winter now!!!!

I'm a tall 14 - the 14 fits me perfectly

Just the thread I need too. Near autumnal conditions here today got me goggling at lunch for autumn waterproof, so this thread is great.

This site has the jack wolfskin ice guard for £65 in different colours and some larger sizes, but like you OP i am short and feel it might be that bit too long.

Also check out Ilse jacobsen. Lots of their stuff here.

Check out their rubber boots too!

Oh no this thread is seriously not good. Two coats ordered, the Mary and the Iceguard, and I love them both equally. There is no way I should keep looking............

I have this Seasalt coat. Very waterproof. I wore it to the Open at St Andrews and it kept me warm and dry.

The Jack Wolfskin Ice Guard is not waterproof. Is that true?

Has anyone tried or got the Didriksons Whitney? I like the red!

Whitney

I've fallen in love with the Patagonia linked to up-thread, but there is no way I'd pay even the sale price for one. It has possibly ruined me for all other coats though.

OMG. That patagonia coat is beautiful.

OK. Iceguard advice please - who says it is, and isnt waterproof? This baby needs to stand up to a Cornish winter and I'll sadly have to send it back if its not going to be properly waterproof....

Iceguard has kept me warm and dry through an Irish winter.

The Whitney looks nice, but a bit short I think. There's no point in a waterproof coat stopping at mid-thigh.

The Iceguard is water resistant, not waterproof.

Another vote for North Face Arctic Parka for winter! I love mine

I came to the same conclusion about the Whitney, but now I really want red!

Didriksson is waterproof. Scandinavian brands are amazing
