I bought this coat so that I would have something a little nicer to wear out for a nice dinner or evening out. I was not dissapointed. The coat is just dressy enough to wear out with slacks or you can wear it like a sport coat. It's pretty warm too. I would definitely recommend this for anyone like me that do not own a sport coat or just wants a "nicer" coat to wear. My only complaint on the coat is that the arms seem to be a little on the tight side. It's still comfortable enough but I usually like a little more room in the arms. Other than that, it is a great coat.
