Hunting for a winter coat.

[KatamariDamacy]

Lost track of what will suit me. I need something cosy for the school run as the weather gets properly cold.

I'm thinking navy, mid length, hood, warm, waterproof.

Where is good for coats these days? Where do I start?

Here: www.didriksons.com/en-gb/products/women/

Theyre bloody brilliant. I bought 1 for my DS and ended up getting everyone one.

The above s a good range of coats- otherwise go yo somewhere like Cotswold Outdoors or Go Outdoors for a technical jacket.

Is this vile?

Yes it is. Sorry. It's a fisherman in Balamory's coat that he wears to the bait shop.

I recommend Didrikson too.

I have just bought myself this coat:

I am hankering after this one: m.cotswoldoutdoor.com/ayacucho-womens-starboard-winter-coat-a4215038

Tried it on and it's soooo lovely and warm. Gives me a bit of a waist too.

Ooh, like the fat face one. Can't find a decent picture of the Ayacucho one. Planning a trip to a Cotswold outdoor store...

Lots of things aren't actually waterproof, even though they look it.
What about this joules one here or seasalt Janelle?

I have the vile seasalt one . I love it and I've had lots of compliments asking where it's from. Maybe it's better in the flesh.

If I could, I would own several of their coats in different weights. As it is I have to make-do with just the Commuter Down coat, which is like wearing a hug. Poor me
