Am I being dim? How do i find this M&S leopard velvet jacket??

[Haemagoblin]

So - they have this lovely leopard print velvet skirt on the website: https://www.marksandspencer.com/leopard-cotton-velvet-mini-skirt/p/clp60748287?color=BROWNMIX

BUT more importantly, in the pictures for the skirt they feature a very beautiful matching blazer which is chef's kiss

I think my mini-skirt wearing days are probably behind me (like my substantial behind), but I would 100% live in that jacket. IF I COULD FIND IT.

I have scoured the website upside down. It is nowhere. Am I being dense? Does it even exist? Did it ever?

Help me wise Mumsnet shoppers!

Yes to things actually coming back in stock, but I fear this is a one off. Story of my life that I only see the things I need to have when they only have sizes 8 and 20 left in stock, I am neither.

Second the Vinted suggestion, I've had a couple of things that are sold out current stock that way.

ATTENTION ALL SIZES!!!!
I checked the site this morning and they have new stock in of all sizes 😁

Haha, I was just posting to say this @Gettingbysomehow! Go go go @Haemagoblin!

Available in 14 and 16 now and I can't afford to be aware of this 😂

I love this thread! @Haemagoblin come back! Buy the jacket!

Just came on to say they have it up to a size 16! I’ve just bought it (in the 12 - thanks Mounjaro, and thanks Pay in 3 on PayPal so I don’t feel too guilty about buying more clothes I don’t need!! 😂) - so thanks @Haemagoblin for the inspiration!

Absolutely gorgeous! Just bought it. Thanks @Haemagoblin and hope you’ve got it in your size this morning. They are still saying available in all sizes as of ten seconds ago!

They have some 16 and 18 in stock this morning

Maybe some returns?

OMG I'm a 16 - it's there! buying!!!!!

Love Mumsnet. And PayPal PayIn3. God I hope it fits now after all this drama 😂glad to have inspired ill-advised purchases in others also :)

This thread cheered me up on a dreary, rainy morning.

Are you sure? When I try it says the 14 is out of stock but 16 and 18 available (but low in stock).

Edited: I see you’ve bought it now!

last night they only had 8-10-12. This morning - a sizes bonanza! :D

I bought it too even though I really don’t need it 😬

Must admit, was also tempted!

Is this the new MN scarf?
If I see anyone wearing the jacket I'll have to ask them if they're a friend of Justine's. 😉

.

@Haemagoblin i returned a size 14 this morning! It’s a gorgeous jacket but I just felt like a female Rod Stewart wearing it, so back it went. Am too old for leopard however lush 😖

OP, I live elsewhere so I cannot order the jacket.

But I reckon all the good vibes made it happen for you 😀

Please update us when you get it.

@isthismylifenow they have an international website. 😉

Enjoy, OP.
It's a bit like the coat worn by the singer in Riot Women. Wonder where that's from?

😂thank you. But they don't ship to me here way down south of the world AND its summer here now 😀 I will be on the lookout for similar come winter time though.

In the meantime it is me who is going to live vicariously through OP.

Under the MN influence I also have bought one! Really not sure if leopard print is for me but we’ll see.
OP and all other buyers, please come back to update!

Those of you that have bought this (and I agree it is gorgeous) - how will you wear it? As a coat? A jumper substitute?

I always find this sort of jacket confusing in the winter because they're neither warm nor waterproof, but I would LOVE to find a way to make it work. Is it just a case of being prepared to suffer for fashion?

Please help my out by explaining to me as though I am very dim (because I suspect that I am)

I've bought it too after seeing this thread and @thesilverkat styling it (or similar) on insta:

We definitely need to chat more about how to style it when it arrives!
