Hello! Hoping the collective Mumsnet wisdom can help me as I’ve been looking for a while with no success! I haven’t posted on this board before but do read it regularly.
I’m trying to find a smart-ish coat in black / grey / brown that’s wool-blend type material (if not wool which will probably be too expensive as I don’t want to spend more than about £300). I’m size 6-8 so don’t like anything oversized and want it to be a bit fitted - either slim fit or with a belt or the ‘fit and flare’ style - and around knee length (ish) as I’m only 5’4 and think I’d look silly in a full length or midi length.
The problem is I really want to find something with a hood! Most coats of this type I’ve seen don’t have hoods, apart from one from Max Mara which is perfect but costs way too much😱😱😱, or one from John Lewis which is also perfect but it’s over £500 😱. I also found a duffel coat from Gloverall to fit the bill, but not keen on the toggles.
Does anyone know if something affordable like this even exists? Please help!
