Where can I get a smart winter coat with a hood?

Looking for something smart for work that is warm and has a hood. Preferably wool. Most smart coats seem to be hood-less but I don't want a duffel coat or a parka. Flexible about colour, though tend to prefer black.....

Thanks!

I'd like a shortish trench coat style with a hood... Can't find one anywhere! Umbrellas are useless when you've got frizzy hair! Watching with interest...

A bit strange with the Kookai one that the belt is not included Hmm

HI, thanks for the suggestions but not really what I am looking for. Was thinking something more tailored (eg button down, fitted to waist and then flared out) to the waist and then flared out. But with hood.

Aaaargh! Does this even exist? Come on mumsnetters! This is a challenge for you! :)

This might not completely meet your criteria but I think it's smart, has a hood and I love it!

hi,

I know it says duffel but i don't think it looks like a traditional duffel, it has a hood and is wool

Hi thanks for the suggestions, none are quite exactly what I had in mind unfortunately. Well, apart from the one byanymeans is going to make herself- perhaps you can make me one too Wink .

Hmm... there is obviously a market out there for nice tailored coats with a hood. After all, we live in a rainy, windy country!

I tried to find one last year and drew a complete blank. Jaeger did have one but it was more like a parka. Tis very annoying. I end up using an umbrella.

I just saw this one and thought it was nice but then realised it's a man's coat! Hmm

Perhaps a bit plain? shop.uniqlo.com/uk/goods/069696 Dh has a wool and down jacket from last year and it only has a little down padding. It is more like a wool jacket to look at and only a little warmer than one.
