Where can I buy a nice-quality wool (or wool blend) camel colour coat?

October 18, 2024 6:10 PM

Challenges: Canadian (only willing to buy in Canadian dollars, from retails who ship to Canada without crazy import fees) and plus size (size 20 or 2XL-ish) and little polyester (I want as much real wool in the coat as I can get). I'm looking for one that's camel or tan color. Any ideas?

Response by poster: Forgot to put in a price range, but don't worry about the price. However, I refuse to pay wool coat prices for 90% polyester coats, etc.

Quite a few 97% wool options at J. Crew. They also have a couple others that are 80% wool if you search for “stadium cloth”.

Aritzia has a few nice options and is a Canadian company.

Worth checking out these Canadian brands: Mackage, Smythe, Soia & Kyo, Rudsak
I don't have time to search them for the specific attributes you were looking for and not sure how their plus size lines run! But they're all Canadian brands that make beautiful, high-quality coats.
Massimo Dutti is not Canadian but they do have Canadian stores, and also make beautiful coats.
You could also check the websites for Simons, Holt Renfrew, Nordstrom Canada, and the Bay (Canadian department stores that sell lots of high-end brands).

Lands End. Their plus size outerwear is excellent. I ALMOST bought a camel coat yesterday, opted for the blue.
