"Great jacket it’s windproof which makes it warmer than expected. Versatile and always looks good."
Autumn can be a particular hard time of year to dress, one day it's freezing cold - or at least, it feels like it - and others it's quite pleasant out. If you're not quite ready to commit to a heavy duty winter coat just yet, you might want to add a cosy light layer on to your everyday ensembles.
Fortunately, we've found a warm yet lightweight mac at Seasalt Cornwall that ticks all the boxes. What's more, it's been slashed in price by over 42%. Right now, shoppers can pick up the Ash Tree Short Cotton Mac for £62.95 down from £110. That's a whopping saving of £47.50.
A boxier version of the classic trench, the organic cotton mac is perfect for dry but cooler days. Classic details include storm flaps front and back, and cuffs with adjustable buttoned tabs. The £62 piece is finished off with a row of smart mock-horn buttons at the front, creating an extra but essential layer you'll want to reach for time and time again.
The Ash Tree Short Cotton Mac has been well received by shoppers, racking up an impressive overall-rating of 4.2 out of five. Giving it a glowing fives tars, one shopper said: "Great jacket it’s windproof which makes it warmer than expected. Versatile and always looks good."
A second mentioned: "I really like it. The minute I tried it on, I knew it was a keeper. It’s a soft canvas-y cotton, don’t think of it as a rain jacket, it’s more of a light layer. I love the style, but the sleeves are just about long enough, and I’m only 5ft 3ins. This might be an issue for taller people."
However, one Seasalt Cornwall fan docked the Ash Tree Short Cotton Mac a star because of its 'short length', which may be something to keep in mind. They said: "Being only 5 foot I expected this to be longer on me than the photo on the model, but it barely covers my bum.
"It is also a more flared design than the photos show and sizing is generous. Sleeves great for me but I think others could find them a bit short, certainly shorter than my other Seasalt coats. Lovely 'in between' weight fabric, not too heavy and bulky but not too thin."
If you're looking for something a little bit longer, the Boscastle Organic Cotton Mac is also sale at £62.95 down from £125 and is worth checking out. It's a favourite of the Manchester Evening News' fashion editor, Rachel Pugh. You can read more about why she loves it, here.
While Marks and Spencer doesn't seem to have an exact equivalent of the Ash Tree Short Cotton Mac, the £55 Feather & Down Quilted Packaway Puffer Jacket is a great lightweight option, as is the Feather & Down Quilted Packaway Puffer Gilet, which costs £39.50. At New Look, the Mink Textured Press Stud Shacket is available for £30 instead of £42.99 in sizes small to extra large.
