Help me choose a coat

I desperately need a new coat and want to buy a quality one that will last for a number of years. I currently have a twill mulberry coat which I love and got for 50% off in the sale but it started to look bobbly after a few wears!

I’d love opinions on the coats below or suggestions of others I might like for under £800, ideally less if I can get something quality in the sale! I really want a longline style and something heavy for winter.

Thanks in advance!

Double Breasted Coat (Blackwatch)

This longline sophisticated wool coat has a more-relaxed silhouette than some of our super-fitted tailoring. Perfect to layer with a classic tee or styled with our super-chunky knitwear. Made from the finest UK woven wools, this coat has been hand cut...

I love B and like D.

B is a real classic - gorgeous colour, I love the herringbone and it is well cut. It's so versatile too. It could be a chic city coat or for chilly country walks, depending on how you style it.
D is a classic too but a bit more generic - less character to it imo and more of a city coat.

A feels like it will date, It's less classic, more lady-who-lunches-in-Harrods. Which is fine if that's the look you want.

C looks bulky even on that willowy model. I can imagine buying that and it just never feeling chic or quite right.

I’d also go for b. Much more classic and able to wear with most colours.

Thank you both! I just went to order b and it’s now out of stock in my size 🤦🏼‍♀️. I should have spent less time mulling over it and gone for it sooner!

C or D. I don't like the buttons on B. I think if it had horn or corozo buttons it would look nicer. If it didn't have those buttons it'd be a choice between B and C for me.

C is the one I like best. Both C and D have natural buttons and C is from a recognised traceable source, Molloy and Son.

love B

Looked again, definitely C or similar on the Landskein site.
