This is a great coat for the price in every way but one- the zipper is hard to get started. After much practice I can do it and will keep the jacket but it really is not easy. Other than that, I love the deep zippered pockets, length, hood, generous fit so can wear sweater under, etc.
I ordered this coat in both a medium and a large but wound up sending both back. The color and fabric were very nice but the sizing was enough off for my shape that neither was just right. The medium just barely fit through the hip area over light summer pants while the large was much looser there but also too loose for me through the shoulder and bodice area. It was disappointing.
