Help - I need ideas!

My old faithful winter coat is falling apart, I've had it for years and it owes me nothing but a new one is now required.
It's not that I'm picky or anything (ok, yes I am ) but trying to buy online is annoying me because I'd normally go and try this type of thing on.

Must have
Patch not slanted pockets and deep (I carry a lot of crap about) ideally an inside pocket too.
Covers my bum!
Waterproof
Warm but not too heavy
Not a wax

Ideally
If it has a hood, no fur!
Two way zip like a riding coat as the dog is attached to me by a walking belt and I prefer it under the coat
Not mega bright colours or high viz. In fact, the type of colour that hides dirt is best as I'm too lazy to wash and dry it every few days...
Under £100 - can spend a bit more though if it's really special :)


I'm looking at these two

Help!
 
I know you say you don't want a hi-viz jacket but it is worth searching ebay for hi-viz working jackets. They tick most of your boxes and will come in at around £25 delivered. You can also usually get them in Navy with reflective strips so it is possible to get a dark colour.
I got one of these the last time I needed a new dog walking coat, except I went for a bright yellow one as I do a lot of walking when its dark and wanted to be easily seen.
 
I buy these cycling bands from decathlon..1.30 euros..they can be cut into three reflective strips..you can sew onto your dogs coat,your own coat or hat..choose any design of coat you want and then sew on these.

try kramers, my jacket is fully waterproof, has the pockets you want plus slanted zipped pockets as well as inside pocket, double zip. it came with fake fur on the hood which came off easily. only £70 and i have had mine for at least 5 years and it washes up well....
 
I have a Berghaus mens walking shell that I layer up. Can't remember how much it was..., though it does meet all your requirements.

Also have a couple of posh super waterproof coats, but one's for wearing when I'm not attached to an animal, and the other is another Berghaus that I currently can't get my arse into! They were both eyewateringly expensive and are to last the rest of my life.
