Urgently need to order a warm, long winter coat tonight - HELP!

Earlier this decade I asked for advice on a winter coat and as a result bought a long Merril down-filled coat.
Today the zip has well and truly bust - I actually thought I was going to be stuck in it and it is beyond repair unfortunately. Not the best weather for this to happen so need to order something to night but can't find anything suitable so I'm looking for the wise S&B regulars to help me.

I'm looking for a down-filled, long (preferably below the knee on me, I', 5'7"), preferably at least shower proof coat. Not overly fussed on the colour. I don't want a fur edged hood.

Budget preferably less than £200 but would spend a bit more if necessary.

Any ideas??

I have the M&S one - our local store have loads of sizes in stock but the website doesn't - I'm going to try to get my DM one for Christmas next time I go in.

I've ended up buying this Jack Wolfskin coat - not very sexy but I think it will do the job.

Thank you everyone for your tips this evening. I remember last time it was very hard to find a 'long' down coat. Seems things haven't changed. I wonder why most people are happy to have cold legs?

Has no one recommend uniqlo?? I've just bought the ultra light down king coat and I love it! Like walking around in a duvet. Shower proof, light, and not too bulky.

I'm pretty sure a skilled tailor could change the zip. Maybe not in the next day but it would be a shame to spend all that £££ on a new coat.
