Marks and Spencer <\/a>has had many of us in a chokehold over the checked short trench coat, which has yet to launch online (though when it does we will be sure to let you know). <\/p>\n

But we have found another ultra chic, and practical, short jacket to see you through the autumn and winter season from the high street<\/a> retailer. Introducing the Waxed Look Short Utility Jacket.<\/p>\n

M&S\u2019 Waxed Look Short Utility Jacket <\/a>caught our attention as it is almost identical to Barbour\u2019s Classic Beadnell Waxed Jacket that fetches \u00a3249. <\/p>\n

M&S Waxed Look Short Utility Jacket<\/h2>\n

Made from a cotton and polyamide blend, with an acrylic polyurethane coating to achieve the waxed finish. The lining has been crafted from polyester and cotton lining, and it boasts a cord collar. It has also been crafted using M&S\u2019 signature Stormwear technology that makes this a weatherproof garment essential for winter. Better yet? It's available in UK dress sizes 6 to 22. <\/p>\n

M&S has crafted a stunning jacket that is perfect for all occasions, and, more importantly, the autumn\/winter and transitional seasons. <\/p>\n

The Waxed Look Short Utility Jacket<\/a> is a short length jacket that is ultra versatile. Don\u2019t be put off by the word \u201cshort\u201d in the title as it\u2019s not a cropped jacket, but falls to the hips, so it is still flattering and provides the necessary coverage and warmth when the temperature drops. The length also sits beautifully whether you are wearing shorts, midi skirt, a dress or jeans. <\/p>\n

The M&S Utility Jacket<\/a> has been crafted from a cotton and polyamide blend, while the acrylic polyurethane coating offers the waxed finish, similar to the iconic Barbour Beadnell Waxed Jacket. <\/p>\n

The M&S design also features Stormwear technology, which is essential when it comes to outerwear as it provides protection from the elements and makes this outerwear piece a reliable weatherproof staple to keep you warm and dry. <\/p>\n

This jacket also features a polyester and cotton lining, and a contrast cord collar, which is a nod to the premium label. <\/p>\n

The M&S Utility jacket boasts a regular fit, whereas the Barbour version is slightly more tailored and fitted for a feminine silhouette. <\/p>\n

Barbour Classic Beadnell Waxed Jacket<\/h2>\n

Crafted from cotton with a Sylkoil wax outer, cotton lining with a tartan print and Barbour\u2019s iconic logo embroidered on the pocket. It features a contrast textured collar and two patch pockets – and available in UK sizes 4 to 22.<\/p>\n

The Barbour version has been crafted from Sylkoil waxed cotton outer, which makes this a weatherproof staple, and a durable design you can rely on year after year. <\/p>\n

The Beadnell Waxed Jacket also features a cotton lining with the brand\u2019s signature tartan fabric interior, which you can glimpse if you fold over the sleeves. This layer not only adds insulation, but is super comfortable on the skin too. <\/p>\n

Of course, no Barbour coat is complete without the corduroy collar, which this design features. Plus, it has a storm fly fastening at the neck, as well as a zip-front fastening to keep any draughts at bay. <\/p>\n

The patch pockets are deep enough to hold your valuables, while the moleskin lining provides added warmth to keep your fingertips toasty on those brisk winter mornings. <\/p>\n

The Barbour jacket is slightly longer in length than M&S\u2019s jacket , as it falls just below the bottom for extra warmth and coverage. <\/p>\n

The M&S jacket is available in navy blue and khaki green, while the Barbour original comes in the iconic olive green hue. <\/p>\n

What we love about both fashion<\/a> designs is how versatile they are. Pair with denim jeans, trainers and a T-shirt for the transitional period between summer and autumn, or layer a chunky knitted cardigan and heavy duty boots come the winter months. <\/p>\n

Considering the M&S Utility Jacket fetches \u00a375, which is a saving of \u00a3174, it\u2019s a no-brainer which jacket we are opting for.<\/p>\n
