winter coats, why dont shops sell them anymore?

[wildpatch]

since last years winter coat was a size 16, and i am now a size 10 i need a new coat.
so how come i cant find any in the shops anywhere?
i bought this coat from marks, looked gorgeous, but its got no lining. how is that going to keep me warm? looked at a few others there, an none of them seemed to have any linings either.
next had none in the shop i went to. nothing in the catalogue inspired me.
topshop nothing either except what looked like school uniform coats.
any suggestions and ideas please.

i've also got huge norks, so cant do those funnel neck typ things.

No idea, but well done on getting down to a size 10!
How did you do it!

Perhaps wait a while? May be they just aren't stocking a full range yet?

yes, but i'm freezing meanwhile lizzy!
i did it on the atkins diet. but basically, i was just in the right frame of mind to do it.

The Per Una fake fur trimmed padded jacket on the same website looks warm.

I got a lovely warm one from Warehouse last year.

they are probably all sold out
French connection and oasis have some warm coats

the moon, this looked warm too. its made of wool etc, but, just wasnt lined. and without the lining, wind goes straight through. you need the double layer for warmth.
i do like the look of the fake fur though.
also, going to look at warehouse website now.

Oops...not sure how I managed to post that twice

I suppose if you are buying on line it's difficult to see what you are getting. You need a whole day of browsing in RL around the shops.

[[http://www.warehouse.co.uk/fcp/product/-//MIDNIGHT-VELVET-DB-COAT/5026 this one] opinions please?

www.warehouse.co.uk/fcp/product/-//MIDNIGHT-VELVET-DB-COAT/5026

online i can pay on dh's credit card. buying in rl i have to get the money off him later which is a nightmare. i'd rather freeze all winter.

here

the warehouse on is cotton, if you are looking for warm wouldnt you rather have wool ?

Do people still wear coats? Maybe its a town/country split... in the sticks you either drive or walk properly in goretex jacket.

I haven't worn a long coat since a wintertime wedding over 10 years ago!

I know thats not helpful, but maybe there isn't quite the demand there used to be?

omg i wouldnt be seen dead in gortex
!!!

oasis have a couple f wool coats

thanks np.
the belted look doesnt do anythign for me. i like the fifties one, but not sure its long enough.
ems, i need a warm coat because i like walking sometinges, and even driving you still have to have someting to keep you warm in the cold car.
what goretex stuff do you mean?

cat open that link np. it wants to save to disk?
very stragne machine this

that hppened to me with the website too
very strange

sorry!

i got my winter coat from new look fo all places. i liked the ones on the next website but when i went to the shop to try them on i hated them! i think with coats you ahve to go physically shop for them. online is rubbish for coat shopping

this si lovely and soft with cashmere

do you ahve a budget?

debenhams have lots

thats gorgeous.
i dont really have a budget. obviously i want to spend as little as possible, but i always think about a hudnred for a coat.

I bought a very nice one in Hobbs last year - sounds like you deserve a treat for losing all that weight!

i sent for a debenhams one, it was really thin. must go to shop and try on for coats i think. i really hate small pockets too.

o god
online i can see lots of stuff. gorgeous one in debenhams . havent looked athobbs yet
i'm going to have to go and spend the day lookin ground the shops arent i?
i hate clothes shopping.
