M&S only had a Limited Edition cream one, I think ebay I might get a thin 'hard' quality (which are the best makes?) but thanks folks, I will keep looking. I will probably get one in TK Maxx in the autumn otherwise ... keep the ideas coming though !!
I bought this great black leather jacket from http://www.jafrum.com which is affordable and I really love the quality. You might find here other great jackets.
