I need a(nother) coat to see me through from autumn to spring. It must be warm. It must be waterproof. It must have a hood. It would e best if it was bum length rather than knee length. I will chiefly wearing it whilst standing at the school gates, in a spot where the wind whistles down of a hill and there is no shelter from the rain. I have two years of this ahead of me - brrr!
It mustn't be a down coat because I think that wouldn't be suitable for milder but wet autumn and spring days. That means, I think, that e much lauded Merrell is off the list.
For dryer days I have a Ralph Lauren down filled jacket and a Barbour so it's really something to deal with the relentless rain which is required.
I think I'm describing an outdoor coat such as a Northface/Jack Wolfskin/Berghaus which has the option of a fleece being zipped in or out but I don't really want a performance-type coat. Would much rather something more fashionable.
Any ideas please?

Ladies of S&B, is there a coat out there to meet these criteria?
