Calling Amazing Shoppers

I have been scouring the internet for a rain jacket. This is what I want:

trench coat style
with a hood
with a belt
khaki/beige/tan color
waterproofish
classy buttons (I like the double breasted style, but it doesn't have to be that way)
XS
less than $150

It doesn't seem to me like it should be that difficult, but the combination of the XS and the hood and the $150 is making the search very frustrating. I ordered a small, but it looks goofy--I tried it on at work (that's where I had it shipped to), and the CTO said, "You'll grow into it." :D

The person who finds this jacket so that I can buy it wins a prize. That is all.

    1. Allyson, thanks! I'd seen most of those, but I didn't notice the Ellen Tracy one for some reason. I'm trying to decide if I like the length.

      Good work! Maybe I should make up challenges like this more often! ;)

  2. I found this slightly less traditional one for you to consider:

    1. Okay, wait, though. A rain jacket that's dry-clean only? How does that make any sense? ;)

  3. Check out Lord and Taylor. They have a Cole Haan hooded double breasted trench on sale for $177, but the website says to enter promo code "shop" for an additional 20% off (plus free shipping). Sara also has some beautiful trenches, but without hoods. No prize needed if I win. BTW you are one difficult lady to get a hold of.
