I live in the Chicago Area, and I have found the perfect jacket for me
has been a Waxed Cotton Barbour Beaufort. In the coldest of Chicago weather I don't feel a thing and the cool/weird thing is that when I go inside or have to walk a few hours in a store that I don't start sweating a lot either. I pair it with a scarf and hat and gloves and when I go inside I use the back pockets for storage. I have some overcoats in pure cashmere and camelhair and jackets in leather and none of them are as useful in cold weather. The Beaufort though is not the coat I would wear to a meeting with all clients because it does have a hunting look to it.
If you are a fan of Law and Order , I swear the Sam ?? character has
a Beaufort in all the cold NY weather scenes but I am not sure.
I do wear heavy wool flannel pants , so if you wear lighter weight wool pants in Winter maybe the border is a better model.
Look for UK made ones and that use actual suit sizings not L/XL ...
