At least 50% wool but the higher the warmer. The best winter coats I have ever bought have been a long brown wool overcoat by Superdry Cult Studios and a double breasted belted black one by Weekday. You can wear literally anything with it because no one can really see and you can experiment with fun cuffs and collars underneath to really make a great outfit. Also wearing a suit under an overcoat is the most power dressing feeling ever. They are so chic and also practical.

i have always loved the style of those floor length coats from the 90s, so my first real purchase was a COS dark navy 100% wool coat, lined, belted etc. that stops a little over mid-calf(?), bought sometime around 2013-2014 on flash sale, back when I was working full-time.
Don't have it with me rn because I'm in very tropical climes, but link for reference, maybe that's the right coat? Anyway it used to be really itchy but a few years now, it is the softest, warmest and lightest winter thing I own. It has also received mass compliments, so yeahhhh frankly the best investment ever.

Top Recs from @caskeyc

1. Don't set an alarm and wake up naturally. Snooze for however long you want to, it's okay
2. Have breakfast. For me it's toast. Have it with butter/jam/honey and a lot of water and coffee and juice.
3. Listen to an album in full and do some puzzles until it ends. I like to stick a record on and do the nyt games (connections, then wordle, then the mini, then I'm ready for a crossword)
4. Shower and use all your best stuff. Smell great. Make your hair feel soft.
5. Wear an outfit you don't get to wear that often. I tend to wear the same thing over and over at work so I wear something a bit more fun and less practical.
6. Go outside. I live near a road with secondhand shops that are great browsing but quite tempting on a budget. To beat the temptation just look in the windows and then walk round the streets or to a green space if it's a nice day. Walk as fast or as slow as you like. Try and spot cats that might let you stroke them. See how each place you go smells different. Walk down streets that you've not been down before just because.
7. Come home and decide how much energy you have. If you have energy do an activity (I would write, play an instrument, do some art, read, play a game) if you don't then watch something from your watchlist. Saturdays feel like a good day to watch something new.
8. Cook yourself a meal. Start before you're hungry and spend ages on it. Use every pot. Listen to music. Sing whilst you wash the dishes.
9. Play! Video games, board games, internet games, card games, phone games, rearrange your plushies, embrace your inner child. Play with ideas, experiment with felt tip pens, write a limerick. Get silly with it.
10. Talk to your friends. Invite them over, call somebody up, text that person back you didn't have time to. I like to spend a good day off by myself then have a great time talking to people after I've recharged.
11. Have so much fun getting to do whatever you want you fall asleep at whatever time. Monday - Friday is about appeasing your body clock, Saturdays are for filthy pleasures like falling asleep at 3am because you were too busy flirting or reading or watching videos.
