I've got lots of warm coats that are too warm - happy to send you one if you like.

They all work with other clothes - presuming you have no sense of self respect.

Most of that is duffel coat. But hoodless? Why? Hoods rock.

Likely to be wearing a hoodie underneath

I'm from Canada - the land of ice and snow - so a hood is essential.

Only downside to a hood is that you usually don't put it up until it snows. If you delay putting it up, when you do, it is full of snow

Recently I got me one with a faux-fur type of lining around the edges of the hood. It is wonderful because it stops the wind from attacking your face.

This fails on the “wool” front, but is a damn good coat and way better than the price would imply:

Try Napapijri, Fjallraven, Didrikson or Patagonia, lots to choose from.

[Steel Icarus]

what size are you steelie?

44 chest, possibly 46 if you allow for warm clothes under the coat. It's my fat gut that I worry about though, I need to be able to do the coat up without it swamping my at the top of my torso iyswim

There's some nice stuff in there but most of the prices are eye-watering tbh

You can often find good wool coats on Vinted. I'm looking for one myself!

 

[hitmouse]

Have you got a good second hand or charity shop near you? I've got a nice overcoat that fits most of those specifications I got for about £20 in a second hand shop, so that'd be my recommendation.
