There is nowhere with a particularly good selection of second hand/vintage coats, even Calcutts in Sutton Scotney which is renowned for them. So I think ebay is your best bet. You need to know every measurement - chest, length of coat, width across shoulders, length of arm. I would also check the waist measurement, as some are quite slim cut. If the seller doesn't post all these measurements, ask them for them. Prices seem to be around £80-£100 for brands like Harry Hall, Pytchley etc. Perhaps more for a better brand. However, I was determined to get a vintage coat on ebay and I looked for ages and ages. I wanted a well fitted one with really long skirt, bought 3 and none of them were quite right. So I've ended up buying a new Caldene which is great!

Hi,
Thanks for that! I nearly got one on preloved but the payment wasn't how we wanted to do it and now it's turned out the jacket is a size 12 and I want a size 10!! Got my eye on a couple on eBay! Would like an older jacket but anything that's good quality would be great and don't want to be paying a fortune! Nothing on field and country.. :(
