What weight of wool is best for a caraco jacket?

I recently made the caraco jacket fro janet arnolds pof 1 and I plan to make another lined in wool with linen on the outside likely the last one was lined in cotton and was ramie on the outside for the summer/spring/early autumn. I want to make one for winter it typically gets no colder than -5 degrees celcius where I am so it´s not an extreme cold but still cold.
