Transitional jacket

Hoping you can all help!
I live in the east of Scotland and it's beginning to get a bit autumnal. When the weather has been iffy, I've been wearing a Didrikson shell, but it's not very smart and gets sweaty. Has the advantage of being waterproof.
I'm looking for a smarter jacket I can wear before I have to get the big coat out.
I've been looking and nothing is grabbing me - I'm short and fat, carrying most of my weight on my middle, so anything bomber style is a definite no, as is anything quilted.
It would be great if I could get something waterproof, but I do have a brolly, even if the Edinburgh wind doesn't always interact well with it.
I quite like this: www.veromoda.com/en-gb/product/10202688_2381/hood-regular-sleeves-jacket

Any thoughts?

Barbour jacket?

The problem is that if you are looking for waterproof then a shell/parka type as you mention will come up or a quilted one. Many of the quilted ones now are not bulky. From that same site and in the same price range, I would have this for a bit of fun if you don't need waterproof. Otherwise I would go for a classic trenchcoat from somewhere like M and S.
