It's exactly as I expected.  Actually, it's a little better than I expected.  The material is thinner than I was expecting.  It's definitely slim fitting so if you don't like that style, you won't like this coat and ordering a size up might not fix that issue.  Pleased overall for the price.

Pros:
 - Thin and warm, but easily pliable
 - Looks nice with almost any clothing- slacks or jeans
 - Fits as described
 - Perfect length to the waist
 - Can comfortably layer an undershirt and dress shirt under the coat

Cons:
 - Outside pockets are a little higher up than I'm used to and not as deep
 - Zipper is a little ridiculous.  They should have made it a bit skinnier or not included it at all since there isn't a pocket there.
 - Restrictive movement at the shoulder, but that maybe a commonality with pea coats
 - Expensive to test larger sizes.
