Warm coat like Seasalt but in small size

I have a Seasalt Janelle coat which is admittedly not stylish but is extremely warm and waterproof. DD (20) said she would like one for Christmas but I'm struggling because Seasalt only make this coat from size 8 and DD is a size 4. In addition, Seasalt coats tend to be cut quite generously. She has tried the size 8 on but it's enormous on her.

Does anyone have any idea where I might find a coat like this but in a smaller size? My coat is waterproof, quilted, and has a fleecy fur lining. It's a bit longer than knee-length. She'd probably rather it came from somewhere like Jack Wills than somewhere like Mountain Warehouse Grin

Seasalt do a size 6 and also a petite range, but I agree they are generally huge so if she's a genuine size 4 I suspect even that is going to be too big, unless she wants to wear it with a big jumper or something.

Outdoor shops will have the best range of very warm and waterproof coats, and the sportier ranges tend to be cut for slimmer figures. Or if that's too unglamorous for a 20 year old then have you tried somewhere like Zara? They cut smaller, and also have a teen range, and often have a good range of winter coats (check labels for fabric content, though!) , though I'm not sure how waterproof they are.
