I've gotten so many compliments on this jacket! Looks like a jacket that costs $300 or more. You wouldn't know it was faux leather. And it's really sturdy, thick and warm! The lining on the inside is the bonus.. super warm and stylish! The standing collar makes this jacket look great for more dressy situations, too (kinda handy if you want a multi-purpose jacket that you can wear daily). And the elastic "varsity" sleeves and waist are really well-made and compensate for people with shorter arms. My ONLY gripe is that the inside liner pockets are flimsy and aren't stitched at the bottom (to the coat). I don't plan on putting anything bulky or heavy in there. The outside pockets provide enough room. But this jacket is so awesome that I'm not deducting a star for that... Too many good things to say about this one!
