Keep scouting online for one of these coats which are everywhere at the moment -

www.hush-uk.com/eleanor-longline-puffa-jacket-khaki/004144-2012.html

This one I like the look of but it's not in My size .

Has anyone got one they can recommend ?

Criteria are just not too bulky and good quality with the side zips for movement. Not too worried about fully Waterproof but happy to pay for decent one !

I just saw a nice one in cos !

Warning. The Lands End coats are HUGE. I am a UK 10-12 and the Petite Small overwhelms me!

Waiting for this to not require a remorgage:

Lots of lovely new ones since I placed my order.
I have a feeling the Hush one will come up big - then I will be praying for some sale options too .

@MistySkiesAfterRain I like both of those - I really like the Colour of the Reiss one !

I can’t do links but Sweaty Betty do a different long coat in blue that looks like that wool rich one. It is midi length, waterproof and wonderfully warm.

Didrikson have some gorgeous ones- ive got a parka-style coat from Didricksons and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. It's warm, waterproof and stylish.

If it's this one -it's absolutely lovely but only in XXL. Thanks though as I hadn't seen it before .

So many lovely coats !

[quote Theywalkamongstus]Love the houndstooth one! www.hollandcooper.com/collections/padded-coats?gclid=Cj0KCQiA2ZCOBhDiARIsAMRfv9L7mL3ThqZrn98qvsSnOriB9cTJz65rmxrUNwv6VSelYRBBasLlNOwaAlYfEALw_wcB[/quote]
Lovely coats but I would not want that amount on logo on my arms - it must put some people off ( or is it just me ?!)

Which superdry ones to people have and recommend? And is it actually waterproof? I'm going round in circles!

I tried on the super dry cult studios one which was very lovely but it was only available in black in the store and I was keen for a lighter colour.
As other posters have said these coats are unlikely to be fully waterproof- you will be better off with north face / didriksons for that .

Just an update - the Hush coat is a keeper and I am so happy I managed to get the last one in stock !
It's not quite as amazing as some of those second mortgage ones might be but it ticks all the boxes and is a perfect fit .
Thanks to everyone who contributed !

Glad you found a keeper.

For anyone else looking I would try the helly Hansen aden down. It fits well, is down filled, warm and waterproof. I couldn't wait for colder weather so I could get it out the wardrobe again.

I love the hush coat, great choice and a good price too.

I’ve been looking for similar but just can’t find anything in my size or price range - looking at you Reiss coat!

That would have been my next choice I think - last time I looked it was selling out fast so don't hang around if you love it ! The Hush one seemed a total bargain in the end as I also got the 20% discount price !

Whoop! Glad you found the one!

Not sure if you are still looking as this is an old thread but last year I was looking for exactly the same thing and treated myself to a Didrickson Stella puffer coat. It is amazing and really stylish. Very warm, slide slits, and even better washable in the machine. It is fantastic and worth the money.

I just got the Barbour Crimdon in the sale. Love it

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?  https://www.johnlewis.com/barbour-crimdon-hooded-quilted-longline-jacket/nori-green/p5879691?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&sshare=jlappioss_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5LkNvcHlUb1Bhc3RlYm9hcmQ=

@Readthestandingorder

I have the long duvet Uniqlo one. It is the best thing I've ever bought.
me too. Love it and I'm someone who always feels the cold.
Bunchymcbunchface · 30/12/2021 19:55

If you want side movement buy one for horse riding
Pikeur
UHIP
Le mieux all do good long coats

Or Holland cooper (no side zips)

kennycat · 30/12/2021 23:20

Just bought a rab one today. I’ve never spent that
Much on a coat before so I’m
Keeping it in the bag until I’ve made peace with the expenditure! It’s beautiful though!!
