I'm looking for recommendations for a wool chore coat. I love the boiled wool material of De Bonne Facture's overshirt, but it could be melton, or felt. I want hand-warmer pockets - preferably slanted or horizontal as opposed to vertical patch pockets. Finally, it should have minimal hardware - zippers, buckles, etc.

One that I have found is this cashmere Italian Core Coat on Todd Snyder, but it is over my budget and I actually don't want cashmere. I am looking for a more robust material.

TIA

I found this one from Buck Mason. It satisfies all my criteria except for the pockets. It has vertical patch pockets.
