I have a matte brown down jacket as a general winter jacket, doesn't look too bad. Although, if you need to look good, a stylish wool jacket and a thick zippered wool sweater would do the same thing.

With a bulky layer or two under it, leather works much better.
I like classics like the Navy Pea Coat - always warm, comfortable and can dress up or down. If you had ONE coat, a Pea Coat would be a good pick.
This one is at Orvis: http://www.orvis.com/store/product.a...LAID=582086744
