I agree with others who mentioned that a long wool coat may not be the most practical idea. Many college students in the Northeast do wear shorter wool pea coats, but they also tend to use a second insulated and water resistant practical winter jacket during those many wet, snowy, windy, ice cold winter days. In my opinion, a long wool coat is heavy and bulky and would soon become a nuisance to a college student on the go.

Maybe it’s best you give her a budget and let her pick out the coat. This way, if she ends up complaining about it, she can’t blame you :).

^My guess is that she’s looking for a wool coat similar to the double breasted wool coat ($220) in this link.
