Please help me find a coat like this

Around 2006 I bought myself a wool-blend coat from Hobbs.
It is perfect, of course it has had a lot of wear now.
I have always dry cleaned it and looked after it but it's just looking too faded, tired and bobbly now.

So, I want to replace this coat.
I'm calling it a coat as, although it isn't very long it is definitely 'coat' material.

It has been perfect for funerals and functions, as well as just being a good all-round coat.

For reference, I am only 5ft tall.

Help me find this coat:
• Wool blend, thick coat
• Lined
• Single breasted
• Ends just on my mid-bum!
• Must have some sort of gathering or shaping at the back.
• Not a blazer, buttons come up higher than that.
• Plain buttons.
• Either black, navy or chocolate brown. Will consider other dark colours, definitely not green!

Thank you Flowers

Maxmara sell lovely wool coats.

Whats the budget, have you looked at petite single breasted coat sites.

The Hobbs Tilda coat is nice £300

Have a look on Vinted for précis petite (they went bust but lots of coats on there)

Thank you for all of your replies.

@RoseBucket I never think of Maxmara, I'll take a look.

@HappyHamsters the budget is up to £500ish
The Hobbs Tilda coat is lovely, unfortunately too long for what I'm after.
When I buy longer wool coats they look best if they are fitted, or fit and flare I suppose, otherwise I look like a child who is wearing my Dad's coat.

@Tigofigo thank you, belted coats don't suit me, they make me look bigger than I am as the belt never sits in the right place or isn't tight enough.

@Beenheresomanytimesbefore I used to love Précis Petite, I don't want a second hand coat. Whilst the one I have is showing it's age I wouldn't want another second hand one.

@TheBeachIsBack
Could you put up a photo of your old coat please?

TheBeachIsBack · 23/11/2022 16:06

@JungleBellsHoHoHo of course I will post a photo, it will be at the weekend because it's dark when I'm getting home.
