Wool coat with a hood

[HelicopterDick]

Does such a thing exist?

I had one when I was at university and loved it - it was a smart black wool (or part-wool) coat, which just happened to have a hood. I need to look moderately smart at work but work between two buildings a 5 min walk apart, so need something to save my hair from the rain. I hate umbrellas.

Any thoughts? Budget up to £150 but can stretch for the right coat.

Thanks in advance

Would you wear a duffel coat? They usually have hoods.

I ordered a wool parka from Lands End yesterday which has a hood - but yet to receive it....

Thanks MotherBluestocking - yes a duffel coat would do as long as it was quite fitted and not too Paddington Bear. Any suggestions for good ones?

WaxyBean thanks I'll have a look at the wool parka, sounds intriguing!

ooh this Hobbs one might work - is it nice or hideous?
