I looked both in stores and online for a raincoat that would be attractive enough to wear to an outdoor wedding, and this raincoat was just what I was looking for. It fits well (petite size is proportioned for short people like me) and looks classy enough for dress up and yet can be worn every day.
I returned this coat because I was disappointed in the overall fit and the wool/polyester lining was too thin. I don't think the wool lining would keep me at all warm in wintertime. I did not think this coat was worth the price.
I took this coat to Great Britain in April and it was fine for both London and the northern part of the country. I was caught in one downpour and the coat performed well. Reasonable value for the price and for my town-and-country needs.
You are now looking at my new favorite coat! This jacket is simply fantastic. Perfect for ball games and running around town. Dressy enough to wear out or just with jeans and a scarf. Warm and not in the least bit bulky. I am even considering purchasing one in a different color. Washes up to a like new condition. The perfect addition to my busy soccer mom lifestyle.
