What do you think of this spring coat?

I need a spring jacket to wear every day, I only like things that go at least hip length. What do you think of this or if not any other ideas? Thanks!

Nothing too heavy!

it looks woollen...

I like the style and the colour, would prefer it if it was a more "Mac-like" material iyswim.

she says it feels like across between moleskin and flannel, but the fabric is cotton.

are you a size 18? (just guessing as thats the size of the one on ebay you linked)

if so evans have a nice one

tey also have a lovely green one if you like green

I like the Evans ones more! Thank you. The thing about the trench look is its a bit boxy and I prefer the softer folds of the ebay linked one. But I agree about the material. Am pondering... Any more ideas would be much appreciated! And yes I am an 18. I really like grey, black, red, blues, greens... not pastels!! I am very pale with dark chocolaty hair with a bit of red and green eyes if that helps. And I really do love grey!

ooohh I am getting a custom made handbag!!! see other thread I am about to start... But do please keep advising I really need a spring jacket ASAP. My winter coat is stifling.

I chose the ebay one in the end!! I couldnt resist the soft look of the fabric. Thanks for helping me look!

nailpolish you were right!

I bought it and it was delivered, its a lovely coat and the material is very soft and nice to touch but its too heavy and warm and swamped me too much. I wanted more of a casual lightweight spring coat.

I will sell it on, it still has its tags on it, its lovely just not right for what I was looking for. I got a simple hip length black trench style jacket! Its great! Cheap and cheerful.
