I need to buy a winter coat! Any hints or tips for a men's winter coat - puffa type thing (technical term) that is very warm and waist length. Ideally not black (so blue/grey)... under £150 ideally....

I'd check the ASOS sale.

John Lewis have coats.

Thanks - off to hunt for winter jackets in sweltering 32c heat

Also ebay as there are likely to be very few bidders.

Look on eBay for Zara stuff. They do excellent puffa/parker type stuff.

Have a look at all the upmarket Northern hemisphere outdoor brands as they tend to have sales about now. I need some new wellies for winter and am hoping to get them at 50-60% discount by buying now while everyone else is fixated on summer dresses.
