What item of clothing would you love but can never find?

[MrsPear]

I would love some wide navy trousers in flannel or wool. Not thin and plastic. Nope never happens. How about you?

@fruitbrewhaha unfortunately not- taken by m&s and now the usual plastic crap but at same prices

NotMyCat

Thank you so much the Monsoon one is perfect

I will now try and pay it forward.

mistermagpie It's not a trendy label but I have a navy raincoat from here which looks smart and is definitely waterproof.

Won't be the right fabric for you but this?
You could buy it fir that price and have it made by a seamstress in silk?

Long legged pyjama bottoms for tall people with pockets.

I would love to find a boxy, turtle neck sweater, with 3/4 sleeves that finishes at your hips, slightly longer at the back than the front. Can be cashmere but can't have any wool in it.

The perfect high waisted, boot cut, dark navy jeans.

Proper length sarueru pants in perfectly light cotton or silk.
I'm small and all of these are made for giraffes.....

Other stories or Cos?

Omg!!! What happened there!

Wide calf boots that don't cost a fortune

Long legged pyjama bottoms for tall people with pockets.

I have 3 solutions to this:

• Make my own PJ bottoms
• Get men's (Sainsbury's are good if not v exciting prints)
• Get PJs you like and add a section contrasting fabric at the bottoms of the legs to make them longer – can actually look nice and like it's a fancy feature.

(plus add pockets if necessary)

Currently, I want a coat. Wool/cashmere, not black, with some nice detailing (contrast colour piping for instance), a beautiful lining, fitted to the waist, button fastening (not a belt, they look awful on me), and then full skirted to mid calf/ ankles. Prepared to pay serious money for one, but can find nothing I like esp as everything seems to have a belt

CMOTDibbler, l made a coat like that once. It was like a Russian princess coat!

Black thick strapped elastic vests like underwear. . Got a few in primark years ago and never seen them again

@noblegreenk I too had similar trousers sort of canvas jeans they were amazing!

on a tangent. in Putney (sw London) there is a small textile shop that has a coupe of sewing machines and overlocks. They run a "sewing club" where for a small fee you can use their equipment.

@ArseInTheCoOpWindow I have a now very elderly (but still looking great) black one which I love, but just dream of more colour. Alas my sewing skills are good, but not up to a structured coat

An extra two inches on M&S's basic cotton tops and their £17.50 round neck cardigans. I'd also like a proper wrap dress that has been designed with the lesser busted in mind - every time I try one on, there's too much fabric up top.

Thick straps as in bra strap covering or the cami top type ones? Matalan do good bra covering ones but they're pretty long

@NotMyCat yeah the thick elastic ones that suck you in. Ooh Matalan I'll have a look

A really, really fine knit, wool/cashmere, black roll neck to tuck into skirts.

Haven’t rtft but came to say a bright yellow hooded duffel coat! Have the cash waiting

My feet are just a bit wider and a bit longer than women seem to be allowed to have !, looking at you Boden, Clarkes, Jones the Bootmaker, Russel and Bromely...etc, having big feet does not mean we want ugly cheep shoes
My feet are actually nice looking
