Where to get wool (or wool-ish) winter coat in size 24?

I'd like a nice long wool winter coat (or some kind of wool substitute if it's still nice) but I can't seem to find it!

I was hoping to get something nice in the sales, but it's turning into a mission!
I've tried all of these and not found what I'm looking for... where have I missed that stocks size 24 and does nice long wool (or wool look) winter coats?

Monsoon

Phase Eight
M&S
Oasis
Curvissa
Seasalt
Toast (bloody hell that's pricey!)
Debenhams (still exists online I see)
Dorothy Perkins
TK Maxx
River Island
Wallis
Evans

Hi OP - have you tried H&M or Asos? Would this fit the bill at all?

H&M

Went back and had another look at next, filtered on 24 and found this bottle green coat which would be great, I thought I was finally done there! But it's not in my size after all, FFS.

So close to giving up! But I really did want a coat. I have a load of work meetings next week to go to and my Teddy coat isn't right and the only other one I have that still fits is a scrappy raincoat.

Probably I need to give up on getting what I really want and just get something cheap and cheerful that does the job, don't I? Fuck this was easier when I was a size 10 <sigh>

@chwaer do you happen to have the link for that one? It's gorgeous!

Potentially this is the largest size. Reviews say it comes up big and that the small fits a High Street 12. So then M would likely be 14-16, large 18-20 and XL 20-24?

This keeps popping up on my feed and I’m so tempted although I think I saw Gemma Collins wearing it on the sidebar of shame.

@BiscuitTinBallerina that is a lovely Karen Millen coat (not words I would ordinarily expect to say!). Classic, nice cut and good quality

This is a bit spenny and also not wool, but I think could work depending on your style.

Navabi is worth a look

Show quote history

It's Monsoon. Being sold in lots of places but cheapest place I saw it was Monsoon itself, they have a sale on:

I'm very tempted by it, but I need something that goes with more things as my basic winter coat I think, before I allow myself to be tempted by something in a nice colour.

H&M

Yes, I've tried Asos.

Not sure about H&M for this mission. I love H&M for basics, especially for the DC, but I want something that's going to keep me really warm. I suspect at that price, it won't be lined or very thick?
