I need a new winter coats. I'm not a Joules lover generally but i bought my last one there. And it lasted well for a couple of years. I want warm over waterproof. Hidden hood maybe. Autumn tones (browns, greens, oranges etc).

Please can I nose at what you've been buying! 😄

I'm going to invest in a full length Ilse Jacobsen one as I'm moving north 😀

1950s vintage princess coat, complete with nipped waist, HUGE turn-up lapels and incredibly warm and toasty. Expensive but so worth it!

Basically this but in plain dark brown.

I've just bought a Hobbs trench in navy. Lovely Grin

I like that miffy- also like outfit model is wearing, m&is have some nice things in at the mo. It's a shame my local store is so pants

miffy2 · 30/08/2017 18:45

It is really nice on, I tried it at the weekend. A modern twist on a classic coat design, IMO. Not the style of coat I usually go for, but I am trying to get away from the puffa/parka winter coat style :)

mimiasovitch · 30/08/2017 19:43

Gah - that is everything I've ever wanted in a coat! Please tell me I can buy it somewhere

SylviaPoe · 30/08/2017 19:46

I'd love a wool coat in green, single breasted.

Bluebiscuits · 30/08/2017 21:17

I love the Hobbs trench coat Laiste, what is the sizing like, and how thick/warm is it?

Gah81 · 30/08/2017 21:32

Hello! It's a brand from the 1950s called Lilli Ann - they are relatively rare but type in "Lilli Ann princess coat" on eBay or etsy and you will see some come up - and they constantly come on the market (be prepared to pay a fair amount of money but the workmanship is superb :) )

miffy I really like that. Pity there isn't more wool in it though. Might try it on.

I have this Diesel parka from a couple of years ago:

And I've bought a Ralph Lauren coat in navy with tan leather trim. It's like a waterproof trench with a hood.

Melabela10 · 31/08/2017 16:20

Max mara coats, they cost a lot but good quality.

chloechloe · 31/08/2017 19:44

PNGirl do you have a link to the RL coat, it sounds great!
