Upon receiving this in the post, I discovered that it is quite well made.  Absolutely worth the lightning deal price.  The sherpa lining runs through the entire body, though not the sleeves.  The red is a true, strong red.  I don't know yet how it washes, because my son hasn't worn it yet.  It is a replacement for one that he is outgrowing and that he has already worn for two years.  It is of much higher quality than I have seen in big merchandise stores locally for quite a while.
