I like the style but they are not cheap. Are there similarly styled coats that are cheaper?
Thanks🙂

The coat itself is very good - great waterproofing and just warm enough that so you don't overheat on a brisk walk. The hood, however, is another story. I think they're cut for giraffe neck women.

Oh- what do you mean? I have a long neck- not that long though😂

I have a long Hornbaek in chocolate brown and I love it. The only problem I have is that the bottom hem rides up at the front around my knees when walking uphill. Otherwise it is perfect - as PP says, warm but not too snug, really waterproof and looks good.

Vinted has about 25 or so in different sizes and colours. Seems like it would keep its value to resell if you don’t like it too

I love my red one and get lots of compliments. It’s very waterproof. However I agree with the hood comment! Once the hood goes up my face disappears 😂

I like mine, but the neck is a bit stiff and scratchy when you do it right up.

I love mine, I have it in Khaki and get lots of compliments on it.

I love them. Practical but stylish.
Google for the brand; you might find them in the sale at an outdoors site.
