    Winter Coat - Where Else Can I Look?

    I've got a bit of a thing about jackets and coats but I do actually need a really good quality winter coat. I've got a couple of cheapies and a couple of raincoats and they don't cut it.

    Thing is I'm still not over a winter coat I bought about nine years ago and promptly left in a bar after one too many ****tails on my birthday. I have been in denial and haven't really come to terms with it until now -it's time I got a replacement. It was a belted trench (before they were 'in'), single breasted, three-quarter length, wool, really light but really warm with a gold silky lining. Bought from Jigsaw.

    I'm driving myself batty. I'm not trying to find a replica - I just want something that feels special. And if I can't find special, then I may go cheap and funky.

    This is where I've tried so far: Cue, Witchery, Jigsaw, FCUK, Jacqui E, Events, David Laurence, Target, Portmans, Country Road.

    WHere else can I try?

    Have even resorted to checking UK websites now but would much prefer to try on.

    Myer`s,Miller`s,Big-W,Suzzane`s,Katies,....or another place that has a really good selection at their bigger stores is St Vincent De Pauls( Vinnies!) lol.They have top brand names at such a cheap price,I know there second hand,but maybe you might find something and have it Dry cleaned. Just trying to help with suggestions.....good luck.

    David Jones or Myer in the city perhaps? That street that I can't remember the name of? Someone help, my mind's gone a bit blank.

    Try TVSN - shopping channel. Look under fashion/jackets and coats. The beauty here is they offer 30 day money back guarantee - just gotta keep tags on. They also offer part payment on more exxy items. Doesnt hurt the credit card so much.

    Ive bought a white long coat from here last year and i always get comments when i wear it.

    Georgie Parker was on a Katies ad recently modeling red trench coats - I am sure they have other colours
