Navy velvet everyday coat

15 replies

Was getting on a flight in the UK last week and saw someone wearing a lovely navy velvet coat. Single breasted, not eveningy, not swingy- just perfect. I really wish I had asked her where she got it and have now decided I need my own perfect navy velvet coat.

I've been googling away but everything I find is too 80s crushed. I though I had found a White Stuff one but the reviews say it is more cotton than velvet. Anyone seen one?

I am wearing exactly what you describe but in teal. It was from white stuff a few years back, they had navy too. Check ebay.

Boden had similar when I was looking.

Boden do a purple one. Let us know if you come across a navy one. You’ve tried Monsoon, East?

@LadyWithLapdog I thought East shut down about 7/8 years ago. I miss it.

@RosesAndHellebores ah, I’m not too up to date 😂 It sounds like the kind of thing they’d have done.

I’ve just had a look on eBay and there are a few (Per Una, Viyella, Aquascutum etc).

Could it have been this OP?

Okay - I'm going to have another look. It needs to be new and returnable though- I've got broad shoulders and long arms so often between sizes and eBay et al is invariably an expensive disaster for me.

No sadly not - was much more daytime looking than that.

I saw this blazer on someone and it looked so stylish. But a bit pricey for me! www.meandem.com/deconstructed-velvet-blazer-midnight-navy

Was it a blazer type jacket or longer, I got a fab vintage velvet jacket for £6.99 in a charity shop recently. River Island do this though probably not the one you saw thoughwww.riverisland.com/p/navy-velvet-tailored-blazer-764035?gclid=Cj0KCQjwnvOaBhDTARIsAJf8eVOnrWHPuglcn4qlGrBt6uURoIvZd1xj31OIaBJz15zSfRRfLSWJgk0aAqhyEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

This White Stuff teal coat is most like it - in that I'm looking for a coat - but the coat I saw had lapels rather than a funel type front. Ahhh.

@Iwritethissittinginthekitchensink thank you. I had no idea they were still going on line.
