This coat is positively beautiful... I get compliments all the time! Nicely made in a mid-weight wool blend. The pleats in the back are very figure-flattering and the belt makes it easy to cinch out cold drafts. The collar is easily flipped up for extra warmth. I always order my winter coats one size larger than my usual to allow room for layering and bulky sweaters. (I wear an 8 but purchased a 10.) It fits perfectly in this regard. The sleeves are also plenty long enough for my tall, lanky frame, but are not so long as to be in the way. The cut is "hip" but not trendy, and I expect to get several years wear out it. Excellent purchase!
