Need a warmer jacket

Hi all, so I have put on weight over the last sat two years, lots of reasons. It will be worked on, but for the time being I still need new things. I am like a 20 generally in clothing, so for jackets and coats I find 22 might be better, depending on the style and fit of the jacket/coat.
I need to replace what I have for when it's really cold. But still need something for now for when it's getting chilly. I like lower thigh length so I get the coverage. With a hood. Currently have a horrible thin cheap just like throw on shower jacket, makes me burning hot because of the material and it's a bad fit. So I need something else. Any suggestions well accepted, especially if you've managed to find something.

I used to like Seasalt for coats when I was a size 22. The quality is quite good and they do up to a size 26. I also had a trench coat from marks and Spencers which was surprisingly nice and perfect for autumn.

ASOS curve is also always worth a look - a bit younger. Seasalt is a bit older in terms of target market, but at least the quality is good - nothing worse than sweaty polyester or badly cut coats which don't fit properly!

I shall take a look thanks! Yes exactly you want something half breathable at least and decent quality/fit!
