Please help find my mum a jacket!

I'm on a mission to find my almost 70 year old mum a lightweight (ideally showerproof) jacket in red that's as close to this photo as possible. She always has a red coat and her existing lightweight one needs replacing but not even trusty Bon Marche has the style she has. Everything is far too fussy for her!

Requirements:
Red
Size 18 / 20
Simple - no logos
Ideally zip as it's a bit easier on her fingers
Hood not essential

I've googled mature ladies clothes amongst lots of other searches and can't find anything!

Please help!

Forgot to mention budget - probably up to £50 at the most but all considered!

Sorry, posted before I saw your second post!

Cotton Traders? A little bit over budget at £55 though.

Over budget, but M&S?

My elderly aunt gets a lot from this company www.witt-international.co.uk/products/weatherproof-jacket/_/A-C18734_10P

Thank you for all the suggestions so far! Did I mention she was very particular?! She doesn't like any that cover her hips which rules out many of the parka type jackets.

I'm almost thinking it'd be easier to get her to switch her favourite colour to green and get the one in the photo. Wonder if it can be dyed...

Quilted and packable?
