A few years ago, I bought an Army Coat off E-bay with the winter (button-in) liner.
BEST COON-HUNTING COAT I've ever owned!
Has deep front side pockets that snap and deep front upper pockets that snap too. Has a front zipper and one side folds over and has snaps you can snap down that makes it even warmer. The cuffs have Velcro on them to tighten them up and has a draw-cord around the bottom (I never need/use the draw-cord)
Although I never use it, it has a hood that tucks in the collar and zips shut.
When the temps get up around the 40s, I remove the button-in liner and keep on going.
Hardly anything will stick to it, either - cockle-burs, beggar-lice or stick-tights - they slide off like Teflon. And it's pretty tough in briars, too.
P.S. Years ago, I bought some pajama bottoms that I wear around the house all day. The bottoms were too long (since I'm a short/fat boy) so I cut the cuffs off, leaving a round circle that's about 4 or 5 inches wide. I leave that hanging on my truck mirror and when I get to the woods, I slide it over my head and wear it around my neck. Makes a great neck warmer. And it's wide enough that I can pull it up to cover my ears and even my mouth if the winter winds are howling, or if I find myself bragging about my dog too much.
Just my 3 cents....
