I am fed up with not being able to find one.
My old one is so knackered (bought at Mexx about 10 years ago!)

Just something plain, straight, black, knee lenght or thereabouts, waterproof with a hood. Oh and not padded as I have a parka for when v cold.

Thank you kindly mumsnetters

I know the feeling. I finally found a raincoat I liked but it doesn't have a hood!

I need one of those.

What about one of these, posted all the way from god's own country.....

Not even remotely stylish, but does look like it would fold up/fit into a handbag, which is a plus.

KittyLetteItSnow · 05/12/2007 16:45

Land's End coat as mentioned below (or cheapo clearance version) and one of these or similar.

Tis the only way without resorting to Johnny thus or thus, neither of which are especially suitable for work.

Navy though not black

CD The much sought after hooded smart raincoat does not exist.

I am going to start a business and make a fortune.
