This coat is truly warm & wind-resistant! The weight is perfect! I purchased the lavender slate, a beautiful color. The coat is dressy & beautifully made. Highly recommend for a warm winter coat. (size L, 5'6", 150 lbs)
Toasty, comfortable, roomy, perfect for winter and layering. Easy to zip up/down from top or bottom of coat. Able to snap on/off easily without zipping. Perfect length to protect against wind and rain. I like that the hood is larger to cover my head without smashing my hair down, provides room for a hat on colder days, and provides a barrier for my face! Loads of compliments. I'm the warmest one waiting for the university shuttle bus. Want to buy another one in a different color I love it so much.
Ordered two sizes (small and extra small) to see which would fit the best. The XS was a tad tight thru the shoulders, so I found the small was best. However I found that even though this coat is very good looking, it was not warm enough for me. Even at 20 degrees, I was cold and I had other layers on. The zipper is actually plastic in the teeth, and the pull is metal. The zipper was bad about coming apart at the bottom, and then when I'd try to rezip it, the zipper would get stuck or off track. Just not a good zipper in my opinion. Also, the pockets are not big enough! Don't know why several manufacturers are going with too small pockets in coats and in pants! Not helpful at all. So with all this said, I have sent the two coats back right away.
I had been shopping for a warm to the knee coat for several months. They all felt bulky, boxy and uncomfortable. So glad I didn't settle because I have now found the perfect coat. The true test for warmth was last week when temps were down to 10. I still walked my dogs and only my hands were cold. Love how this coat can cozy up to your neck, has zipper and snaps up the front.
