Warmest coat made of natural material that doesnt include down feathers?
A Navy N1 Deck jacket fits the bill. The good ones have waxed canvs exteriors and alapaca lining and are true BiFL. So warm and durable. Mine is the Dehen version but there are a ton out there. Can be found on Ebay or similar, occasionally in good nick.

what winter coat are yall using?
I got a great deal on a Dehen N1 Deck Jacket a few years ago and it will out last me for sure. Thick waxed cavnas outer, shearling collar, heavy duty hardware and alpaca lining. Bonus is that it's MiUSA. A beast and I will never be cold again.

I'm looking for a warm winter coat that is not bulky
Just moved from New Hamshire, so am used to New England winters. My main advice would be to learn to layer. Then no single item is going to be too thick and you can mix and match for the unpredictable weather up there. In your price range, I would recommend that you try to snag a used Dehen on eBay. They are classy and you definitely won't be replacing them in a year or two (I have one that is >15 years). You see their Flyer's Club, Winston, and Cargo Carrier jackets come up pretty frequently, as they have made them pretty much unchanged for decades. Their Deck Jackets are excellent, but you will pay for it and the one I have is heavy enough that I only really wore it while hunting or ice fishing in Maine.
