I'm moving to Cambridge MA from California and I wanted to be prepared for the cold northeastern winters. I found this coat online and fell in love with it. When it arrived it did not disappoint. The quality of the fabric and finishes are beautiful. It's soft and warm and doesn't make me look bulky. I love the adjustable high collar that you can button up to keep your neck and ear lobes warm. Or unbutton the collar and it lays down easily. I can't wait to don this for chilly New England days!
