Polyester, which I know you detest, doesn't much lend itself to "warm" and also is prone to static, which leads directly to the hair-coat problem!Meanwhile, you could have the zipper replaced on your current coat with one that zips UP too. That's a whole 'nother chain of links and logistics, but let me know if you want more info. Big Warm Hugs!Karen J.
