HELP! Lightweight jacket with mega pockets

7 replies

S&B is so full of clever fashionistas, I hope someone can help me.

I have two little ones, we go to the playground most days, and things get messy. I would nevertheless like to start looking more stylish again. Oh my good days, I would wear Maje, Sandro, Cos, Muji, that sort of thing. All winter, I've been living in my Barbour waxed coat, but it's getting a bit warm for it.

I am looking for a jacket for spring. (I thought I could try wearing my Burberry trench again, but no no, today has shown me it's just not suitable when children are around 💩.) This jacket should be quite light, water resistant, and have big pockets. Hood optional. Something like this Uniqlo parka, but ideally better-looking and longer www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/women/outerwear/coats-jackets?quickView=429058
I also spotted this Joules jacket, but I don't feel super excited by it www.countryattire.com/joules-coast-womens-waterproof-jacket/ca50173257.html?colour=Antique+Gold
Oh I don't know, any other ideas? A decoy non-Burberry trench?

Thank you, thank you!

I bought a Barbour one a couple of years ago (just looked but they don't have the same style) that I love and exactly as you describe, most similar to this I think www.barbour.com/uk/barbour-blackett-waterproof-jacket-lwb0688ol51 but in navy and no collar. Might be worth looking at a few of their stock lists, the best brand for what you're describing I reckon!

Thank you for the Barbour suggestions. Anything else at all please? I've been wearing Barbour nonstop for months, I'm getting a bit weary of it...
