I suppose that may differ person to person. I, for example, do not consider leather jackets to be "coats" because I live in a cold climate. Leathers are generally for fall and not winter here. However, in a different climate, leather might well be all someone needed as a coat because the temperatures didn't go low enough to warrent much else.

For me, I mostly consider wool and wool/cashmere to be coats, and most of mine are walker length or full length. Although I don't wear them, I'd also consider down jackets or coats to qualify as "coats". Lighter weight trenches also do not count for me, as they are primarily fall or spring wear. I do not double-up on layers and put one layer of outerwear (like a trench or quilted jacket) under another (like a wool or cashmere). But I am also not walking outdoors a lot, so a wool coat is mostly fine by itself for me.

But again, this may be completely different from what someone else thinks. I have about 12 or 14 winter "coats", and that doesn't count trenches, leathers or other lighter weight jackets.

Yes, that is how my mother taught me to categorize coats as. I find wool/cashmere coats supply plenty of warmth but then again, I usually only wear them to a building and into a taxi. I might trow in a one-block walk, maybe.

Wool/Cashmere coats:
White Maxmara peacoat
Marella Wool coat
Dark Brown chocolate Flippa K coat
Navy Blue Zara peacoat (not sure if it's considered a coat since it has about 0% cashmere/wool/marina)+its my favorite jacket to wear
Light brown Maxmara cape coat

I also have a barbour jacket, burberry quilts & trenches, TNF Venture, Canada goose parka and a peacoat from old navy made out some kind of polyester that I wear regularly. Then I have leather jackets & blazers, but I see those as part of the sweater section.

I consider my coat collection to be quite substantial as I'm a teenager in high school who doesn't go to enough events where it would be appropriate to be wearing a coat without worrying about a friend vomiting on it.

I'm currently on the market for a toggle closures but I haven't found one that is made out of wool/cashmere and is at a good length.

Just a few...

-vintage red peacoat that my mom found at a Salvation Army in the 80s (so it's probably early 70s, judging from that and the styling)...a little big, but so warm and I get compliments on it all the time
-True Religion black leather trench...which I hardly ever wear out of fear of messing it up
-Juicy hooded parka
-a random turquoise waist-length jacket I wear in spring and fall
-Juicy velvet blazer for super-fancy occasions

I have
2 black Peacoats from my NAVY days(very heavy and warm)
1 northface parka (knee length) very warm and it has a lifetime warranty.
1 ankle length parka from diesel I've had it for several years now.
1 black wool coat from jcrew( on it's way )
5 coats total.

I have several leather jackets, denim, but I count these as fall/spring outerwear.

I probably have around a dozen real coats. And then a bunch of lighter weight jackets.

I'm being dead serious. I went out one night and I came back with a miu miu coat beyond repair. I didn't even bother trying to see if the dry-cleaners could get out whatever was in there. I learned my lesson the hard way.

Now that I look at the list, I think I might be missing some but I've totally forgotten about them. Coats are so much harder to wear than regular jackets, imho.
