To help track it down, I reached out to Kasia Walicka-Maimone, who was the costume designer for Blunt’s character. Unfortunately, she told me the jacket was vintage, and she doesn’t remember the brand. Although that means you won’t be able to get the exact jacket Blunt wore, Walicka-Maimone told me she believes it was made of wool, so I started there. Because it doesn’t seem as if the red color is as important to you as the style, I threw in a few coats in other colors, too.
$219 at L.L. Bean Buy Sam Edelman Wool-Blend Coat $150 $220 now 32% off $150 This single-breasted wool-blend Sam Edelman coat is much longer than Blunt’s, but it’s still a good option. It comes in a similarly vibrant shade of red, and although the black statement buttons do change the look, you could always swap them for matching tomato-colored ones.
$65 at Etsy Buy Double-Breasted Wool Short Peacoat $24 $24 This one’s also double breasted, but it’s similar in spirit to Blunt’s. The seller promises it’s made from “excellent wool,” which indicates to me that it will be warm. It’s pleasantly boxy so you can fit a nice sweater underneath it, and it looks as though it will hit at the hip, like Blunt’s. However, if pockets are essential for you, keep scrolling — this one doesn’t appear to have any.
How about the beautiful no-waste PaynterJacket ?! I unfortunately missed out on their gorgeous red wool version which looks uncannily like this one, but they do small batch production 3 or 4 times a year supportindependent smallbusiness ecofriendly
