Smart winter coats

Oh wailey wailey! Ness, which used to do proper thick but smart long wool winter coats is only going to do accessories from now on. I need a smart coat which will start up to an Edinburgh winter. Help folks!

Bumping for you OP as I'd like a new coat too!

I see lots of cute cotton trench coats around but they just don't cut it North of the border...

I have a four seasons coat that I think fits the bill. It’s smart and woollen and v warm. It’s got quite a deep v neck though so requires a big scarf!

Totty Rocks cost is fantastic

RiddleyW · 14/08/2018 07:27

I meant to say coat but actually...

I feel your pain. I too need a good, classic, winter coat. Where have they all gone. What happened to Mansfield and Basler Sad.

Totty Rocks is more than I would normally spend - but it is gorgeous and their stuff is really good quality

I want something more classic than that. Price ok though.

Ness used to be perfect - I thought I had found my coat purveyor of choice forever

Wow that Totty Rocks site is a find. I badly want their velvet frock coat now.

SurfnTerfFantasticmissfoxy · 14/08/2018 10:05

Every nice winter coat I've bought in the last few years has come from Reiss? Might be worth a look

Think Ness had some financial woes.

N0tfinished · 14/08/2018 12:19

There are a few Ness coats on eBay. How would you describe their sizing? There's one that looks lovely

Following this for recommendations, I’m desperately seeking a navy or dark grey lined wool funnel neck coat that’s mid thigh length.
