Warm winter coat with fitted waist

6 replies

I’m looking for a warm winter coat that I can wear for dog walks, or watching kids sports. I still like to look fairly well put together and would like a coat that is slim and has a waist.
I bought the Seasalt Janelle after recommendations here and while it almost fit the bill, I didn’t like the bright yellow zip so returned it. I’m wondering about the Didrikson Erica linked here. I’m not sure how slim fitting this is and also not sure if the fur on the hood is removable. Any other recommendations? Thanks. https://www.didriksons.com/uk/p/erika-parka-504303-ash-brown

I've had a didriksons before, although not a big winter one, and it lasted years.

If you have the budget and want a genuinely warm with fitted waist look at Fortis. They are truly superb.

Thanks. @Tortephanti quite like the one you linked but think I would prefer a longer coat for winter. @switchnamethat one is nice too-very similar to the Erika. I wish the coats were styled better on the Didrikson website! They look so frumpy with the clothes on the models.

Ok. I have one of these as well. Not as warm but also very lovely

I have the Erika and it’s fab. Had it for about 5 years and it’s still warm and waterproof. It is quite slim fitting although not tied at the waist.

Mine doesn’t have fur around the hood but there are button holes which looks like I may have removed it but can’t remember!

Mine is navy though as muddy dog prints might ruin a cream one?

Just to say for dog walking I usually only wear a t-shirt under it as so warm when walking! If I’m standing around I’ll put a thin fleece under
