Can’t find a warm long coat without a hood!

[strawberry12345]

I really need a warm long (mid calf) coat but really don’t like hoods. I’ve looked at a lot of places online but they all have hoods. Any suggestions gratefully received. Ideally something casual as I have other more formal belted coats.

Watching this with interest as I feel the same. How many grown women wear hoods? And when it's not raining they jus

....t get in the way!

TBH I'm good at sewing and have been known to remove the hoods from an otherwise decent coat.

I have one from mountain warehouse that has a removable hood. Depending on height would be a good length, almost knee length on me but I'm 5'1. Not excessively stylish but is very warm.

ha ha yes exactly! I’m ok with a needle but would worry the collar wouldn’t sit right if removed

Ignore my post - I miss read mid calf for mid thigh for some reason!

I wasn't going to post on this thread as it's clearly not intended for someone like me, but since you've asked: This one does.

I will concede not if it's wool or tweed, but otherwise I think a coat designed for a UK winter with no hood is the very definition of useless.

I still hope you can find something you want.

Almost all my coats have hoods. So then I can put it up when it rains! What's the point of a coat WITHOUT a hood, I would say! You then need to carry an umbrella which is REALLY annoying. And how do hoods "get in the way". They just sit on the back of your coat?!?

@DeathMetalMum thank you, a longer version of that with a removable hood would be ideal

@WhatNoUsername i can’t explain it really I just find them annoyingly bulky. I’d rather carry a brolly or wear a hat!

Another hood wearer. When it rains, here, it's often windy with it and an umbrella is useless. It. Also keeps the cold out much better.

✋me (when it's raining or cold and I don't have a hat).

Hmmm this might work

Detachable hood.

I've got this one. It's lovely

Brollies? The most useless invention in the history of useless? Don't make me cross.

I have this one. It's longer than it looks in the picture, the model must have uncommonly long legs.

I love a hood, when it's cold or rainy.

One of my favourite coats that I ever had was big German military parka with a fleece lining and huge hood. I loved that coat and why yes, I was very cool in the 90s.. thanks for asking.. 🤣

How about this - detachable hood https://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/p/rab-womens-deep-cover-parka-A4414556.html?colour=104

I rarely put a hood up but do think they add extra warmth to the back of the neck

I have this one. Detachable hood. It is lovely- waterproof, warm and faux fur lined pockets. https://www.fatface.com/women/clothing/coats-jackets/harley-long-puffer-coat/980230.html

I have got this.

Love it.

Oooh no offence intended!

I've got quite long hair so hoods drive me mad. Even when they are neatly flat against my back my hair still gets caught inside and gets pushed around my face weirdly.

I honestly don't know many people who use hoods which is why I'm always baffled by their ubiquity.

I love a hood too! I just tie my hair back if I am putting up my hood.

It'll not win style awards, but I googled and found the Unisex Windermere at Cotton Traders.

Removable hood and waterproof.

I'm tempted, could always use a dog walking coat.

Have you looked in Sainsburys? I bought one from there a couple of weeks ago. No hood, mid calf and padded.
