Pure Cotton Belted Trench Coat

I needed a coat that was less formal than my much-loved Jaeger wool coat , but a little more elegant than my battered old Barbour! Was very impressed by the construction and quality of this mac; it is a caramel colour (not vanilla) so be aware of this. Absolutely perfect for tootling around in the town without having a heart attack if someone veers towards you with a coffee in hand!

I dithered about this cost because of the price - but it really is beautifully made. It is quite heavy - more like gabardine. It is very long - ok for me at 5’7”. If you are looking for a quality trench - this is for you.

Ideal for the coming autumn and winter to wear with boots, it's so long it will keep legs dry.

Having long arms, it's a struggle finding coats, jackets, shirts with a decent sleeve length. In regards to M&S products, I've tried so many and they all come up short. Jaeger, however never disappoint. Their quality is unmatched. I saw the navy version of this trench coat but was hoping for the camel colour to drop so as soon as I saw it, there was no hesitation. Straight in my cart it went. I love this coat, the sleeve length is perfect, it's double layered so has a weight to it but that's not a negative as it hangs beautifully. I like to wear the collar up and it actually stays. The colour contrast under the collar is a chic touch. I wore it with an M&S animal print slip dress with lace detail and looked very stylish indeed! There was an offer on coats which came in handy. Even without the offer, this coat is well worth the full price and I would have paid it happily.
