The coat zipped and looked nice, but I would not be able to wear a heavy winter sweater underneath.  It was a very small extra large.  All of my other extra large and large coats that l own are quite roomy.  My other coats, in a size12 and 14 are also roomy.  I was going to return the coat, but I gave it to my daughter-in-law and she really likes it!  Even though the coat was of good quality, I would not purchase that brand again, due to the fit not being true to the actual size.
