Purchased for my daughter as her last coat was getting too small. This has been a great coat. She stays warm and loved it (we live in OH for reference). The only thing is the hood can be zipped off. Where the hood connects to the zipper has come unstitched and I will have to stich it back together. I don't know if this was just weak stitching OR if it is from my daughter snagging it when putting on her backpack or cello to go to school. It could be either or really.
