I am going to London shortly. I wonder if anyone knows where I can get a lightweight quilted wool tweed field jacket with slash pockets & a contrasting collar (How is that for specificity?) At times in the past John Partridge, Mackintosh, "Johnson of Elgrin" & Bruar but not Barbour had had them. If not available which manafacturers should I go to or contact?

Thanks.

The last time I was in London the gunmaker Holland & Holland had a series of coats that satisfy your requirements. Seemed to be well made but expensive.

I don't know if this is quite what you're after, but Lavenham now offers their quilted jacket in some tweed options:
