Help me find the green wool coat of my dreams!

December 9, 2021 1:52 PM

Literally. I dreamt of this coat and now I must have it. Details: green wool coat. not supper fitted, no belt, hits about the knee. More androgynous than feminine. Picture this coat, in this color. This coat is pretty much it, but my price range is a couple hundred dollars cheaper. This one is also close, but a little too baggy and a little too fuzzy. If I must comprimise on color, I'd like the my green to skew chartreuse rather than hunter/forest green. Any leads?

Adding “Kelly green” as a search term for wool coats may help.

Best answer: This comes in "acid" and "kelly" green. But why not wait until January and see if the coat you really want goes on sale? That's the time of year winter coats are marked down.

Response by poster: update. i think i have looked at every single green coat to ever have existed, new or used, and I can't find this asos one in stock and I don't even know what color green is anymore. Loving the suggestions so far, thank you!

Did you look on ebay? A quick search for green wool coat turned up a few options, but I have no idea what size you'd need and if any of them match that.

White or grey coat with bleach and die? On men's coats there's often some extra fabric on the inside to allow them to be let out that could be used for testing. Not the easiest option, of course.
