Black straight short skirt. Preferably wool?

[Shirl]

I recently bought a black and white coat by Agnes b (from a charity shop naturally) and it looks very 60's and french. I've decided that I need to wear it with a short, just above the knee, black skirt.
I saw loads a couple of years ago, they seemed to be just like stretch tubes. That's the sort of shape I want but I don't really like synthetic fabric so it needs to be wool or wool mix at least.
I've been googling without luck. Anyone got any ideas?

Ha! Just reread the OP and I didn;t see just above the knee, just short. I'm looking for shorter than that!

That M&S one has a rear vent. It's an office skirt. I want more casual.

That's cheap enough for me to give it a try until I find something wool. I'll go to New Look on Thursday. Cheers.
It's cotton blend so not sure what that will look like but if it's this season it might look ok

Clothes shops in this town are shit. I really would be better asking at the ironmongers
