Coats

[Tempi]

I'm after a long, warm very waterproof coat with hood for teaching in in the Winter. I've got a 3/4 length Musto I wear to teach in at the moment which is fab but i'd like something longer (below the knees?) for Winter. Needs to be good for cold days aswell (although I tend to wear a body warmer a lot of the time under coats anyway).

Im skinny and tall - around a size 8 in my upper body and 6ft tall.

Most coats are too short in the sleeve for me and too big round the middle if I go a size higher to fit my arm length.

I'll probably go to our local tack shop and see what they have so I can try some on but would like recommendations.

I dont have loads of money to spend so cheaper ideas are welcome! But I know decent coats don't come cheap!

I like the look of the Musto Breckland Jacket but its quite a lot of ££££s....

Anky and Kingsland both do long coats which have long arms...!! The Anky one's especially should do the job for you?

I'm no help as I just bought the musto Suffolk, but I figure it will last me

Try Landsend.co.uk not equestrian but their stuff is good quality and lasts (and has reasonably long arms)

Lol!! Well thats what I might do aswell if I dont find anything else, my current Musto i've had a good 6 years and its like new still (and gets worn all the time).

Landsend have a really nice coat i've got my eye on actually but its not waterproof

Good price for a warm winter coat, although it isn't below the knee.

You could also try TKMaxx although it won't be a horse brand they sell lots of long winter coats.

Thank you for that, looks really nice

Hadn't thought about TK Maxx either, i'm not bothered whether its a horsey make or not as long as it fits the criteria!

I don't know if it would be long enough for you but I picked up a Rydale one for my Mum (5'8) which was only £40 and is fleece lined, so really nice and warm in winter. It's waterproof too, my mum teaches in hers and stays dry!

Barbour of course are warm and dry, but very pricey!

I think this is the one, only £30 too!

They do Unisex ones too, so they should have longer arms.

I have the new Euro star coat which is lovely, I believe they do a long length too maybe worth a look.

I think they are only water repellent and not waterproof? Do you have a link?

ahh your right tempi, sorry! I have the Bente which is waterproof but will not be long enough for you, the one I was thinking of is this: http://www.e-shop-direct.com/eshop/euro-star/alina-36829/

I really like that coat aswell, they need to do a waterproof version!!

My 6'4 boyfriend can fit in my long musto coat to be fair, it's a bit big for me and almost ankle length, but it doesn't look tiny on him! (he is skinny though which helps!). But short in the arm but then everything is, still, not by an awful lot, and still comes below his knees... somehow! I can't remember what size I got, I think it's a 10 (I'm a size 6-8 normally but I was advised by my mother to go a size larger to fit winter clothes underneath, don't think I needed to tbh!). I love it though even if it is a bit big!
