Last winter I got almost this Ruffwear Jacket, just a earlier model of it.
K-9 Overcoat? Dog Jacket ? All-Weather Canine Protective Outerwear - from Ruff Wear
I was very impressed with it. It held up great and I go to the dog park all the time, which is a forest preserve so there is a lot of running through branches, muck, thistles etc.
It had a durable, smoother water resistant outside that didn't snag
And Kaylee loved it
It says it's 60 dollars on the site but I managed to get it for 20 something by searching around the Internet

I've gotten all my dogs' coats at Pet Smart of Petco. I don't like to spend a lot of money. The only one that didn't hold up all that well was Lyric's bomber jacket. It was not leather, but some pseudo leather and it got a few holes in it. Of course it didn't help that his big, Dober-teeth went into it at times. He would get all silly and buck, just like a horse and reach down and around...and bite his jacket. But the fleece part held up. The little dogs' jackets, I've had for a long time and they're still great. They have very cozy coats for these north Idaho winters. Toker doesn't have one. She could probably do with one. Maybe I'll get one this winter, but so far, she runs so dang hard, she doesn't seem to get cold. Then we come back inside after a bit.
But you could look online too. A lot of people love Fido Fleece. They may be pricey. Or just shop around and see what you can find locally.
When you get something, I hope we see pictures.

I found this one on etsy.

This the one I got Orson a few years back.......it's held up good and does the job. The price is great too The one in this link is "large" but they come on all sizes. It's lined and the outside feels "velvety" if you know what I mean.

I have a couple of fido fleeces and find them great for under layers, or for fall. But they don't block wind, or moisture. So if your dog really feels the cold, or you live someplace that gets nasty a fido fleece on its own isn't going to cut it. (and they are horrible for picking up little burrs lol)
(In dekka's pic she was wearing a fleece layer, a flannel layer and then her shedrow it was -20c or -4F in that pic!!)
