In the UK, where is the best place to look for a winter Overcoat for men ?

Been looking for ages.
Amazon has a somewhat limited selection, and while it's the 'obvious' place to look, when it comes to fit i'm finding it impossible to judge 'fit'.

I'm short and stocky but that doesn't seem to be a 'style' they cater for.
Any suggestions welcome.

you could try a charity shop

@Matt85 That's what I was going to suggest - I have had some superb coats in charity shops. @Picklebobble2 Go to the poshest area nearby - they always have the best!
@Matt85 In the US I think we call them 'thrift stores.' Anyway, this Xmas my kids bought themselves some wonderful dressy winter overcoats a a thrift store for a song.

Hugo Boss have some really attractive ones. Just check them out...

@helenS One or two there that have the length.....think i might be too wide for their fit though.🤔

@Picklebobble2 Yes it's true they are a "slim fit" company. Sorry I could not help you 😐

I got my last coat from Vinted. Granted it was second hand, but there are lots of brand new with tags one on there too. Might be worth a look

@aloneinUK I've had some good stuff from Vinted

I think Debenhams still have an online ordering service. Also there is a shop called Edinburgh Woollen Mills that does some reasonably nice men's things that seem to be a wider fit.

Your local Army Surplus shop might be worth a look.

You might end up with one that scrapes your ankles but it'll be cheap and very warm.

Not sure if they have any locations in UK, but in US the answer (now that Brooks Brothers is gone) is Boscov's

@Picklebobble2 call them and ask
My hubs is a tall guy so he had to have it specially altered

Well here is how you do it. Go to whatever good department or menswear specialist you can find locally and try on as many as you can, making notes of the ones you like and why, anjd the prices. Now go home and google those very coatsincluding your size.
You will come up with a short list of the places to get the best deals and may even come up with one on ebay being sold as not needed any more.😷

Depends on budget.
Burberry is great, but costs Burberry money.
Tresspass?
M&S?
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
@V00doo Tresspass jackets only.
M&S Overcoats 3/4 length only
