What to wear with pea coat?
Hi there. I'm eyeing this pea coat in the picture and while I'm waiting for restocking. I got few questions in my mind
Question 1: this jacket has material composition 65% polyester, 33% viscose, 2% elastane and lining: 100% polyester. Is this a problem? It doesn't have wool but it's named a winter jacket after all
Question 2: What pants should I pair with these coats? I'm not fan of puffy pants because my bike's front gears like to tear and stain slack fabric.
Question 3: How bad is it to combine a hood with these coats? Imo hoods are godsend for reducing ear pain caused by the passing wind.
Me: I'm 30y average slim guy from Finland. I got browline glasses and smallish goatee beard.
Usage: My main outdoor activities are cycling to work and occasional walks around the town.
Current wardrobe: My current winter wear includes soon-to-be replaced winter jacket(black), long johns, hoodie(black/green), denim jeans(black/blue), military camo pants(navy blue), army style boots with wool lining(black) and black accessories like scarfs, leather gloves and beanies. Jeans are good up to(or down to) -10c but after that I have always worn camo pants all the way down to -35c.
Feel free to suggest more similar coats and guide me through this jungle.
My ideal coat would have high collar to protect my throat from freezing winds, suit like appearance, a hood (removable or stationary).

That's not quite a pea coat FWIW
This looks like a very poor quality jacket, especially since its all synthetic materials. I bike to work as well and would not wear this as it will not be breathable. I would suggest looking at a different jacket that's made of more breathable materials.
I'd honestly look at a military surplus pea coat. They're cheap, cool, and plentiful
The fact that the model appears to be AI is also a big red flag for whatever brand this is
This is the way
And by cool I mean, warm also
Thanks for the inputs. It was kinda hard to identify real pictures out of the all wish/temu/ai pictures. Temu is pushing hard on marketing ads and it shows.

I finally got enough willpower to scroll through shops and found few more. How about these? These 2 are 95/80% wool https://www.boozt.com/eu/en/bruun-stengade/bs-kingston-slim-fit-coat_32434081/226898517 + https://www.superdry.fi/ale/miehet/takit/details/243964/town-villakangastakki-irrotettavalla-vuorilla-musta?sku=102020350009002A001

These 2 have less wool and more polyester, 60/40 and 50/45 https://www.zalando.fi/hechter-paris-klassinen-takki-silberfarben-da821u027-d11.html + https://www.boozt.com/eu/en/selected-homme/slhjoseph-wool-coat-noos_32270282/226494463 . Are these simply inferior because of high polyester content?
