Lightweight trench coat with hood?

7 replies

Has anyone seen a lightweight knee-length/midi trench coat with a hood anywhere? I need something smart to chuck over summer dresses to replace my ugly old Seasalt mac, but can't find the kind of thing I have in mind - this M&S car coat would have been absolutely perfect, but I need something a few inches longer - maybe roughly 42 inches or 110cm.
This La Redoute one is also quite nice, but expensive, and reviews suggest it's quite heavy so no good for summer.

I have a trench coat with a hood. Got it from Zara.

I also got a hooded trench from Zara (although it was from the children's section)

Protected Species
www.protected-species.com/shop/waterproof-mac/night-sky-navy/ Not cheap but fully waterproof, lovely fabric and 6 colours.

That Protected Species one looks lovely, but I can't justify the price, sadly. Just saw that they offered MNers a 40% discount a couple of years ago - if only!

Checked Zara but they don't have much. The only one that looked it might be long enough looked from photos as if it would be that sort of cheap rustly fabric. That was a good suggestion, though, thanks - I've had lovely classic (non-hooded) trenches from them in the past but never think to look there any more.

Try uniqlo online. I got one there last year looks very similar to protected species but very cheap. Isn’t as waterproof now unfortunately but it was at first and lasted a year or more.

Thanks. Just had a look at Uniqlo. This Ines de la Fressange one would have been pretty perfect I think, but unfortunately it's sold out in S. Sad The Blochtech one looks quite good too but is too short.
