I wanted to purchase a coat with a hood-- and this coat looked perfect! And do not get me wrong, it is an AWESOME coat! The only thing I would change is the length of the sleeves to be just a tad longer. I am 5'5, 120lbs, so I thought a M would be perfect. I honestly wouldn't have needed a Large though--it would have been way too big. The hood is a bit awkward too--with the snapping on of the fur, BUT. Maybe I am doing it wrong hahaha. But overall good purchase!
