I bought two of these coats for $30 each - one for my daughter and one for me.  Given the price for a wool blend coat, I can hardly complain since one would be hard pressed to find such a coat, never mind a new one, in a thrift shop.  However, the fit of the coat is a bit strange.  It does have longer sleeves than most coats but in the cold weather, I don't mind this and I usually take off my coat when I eat or wash my hands, so I can't imagine that the longer sleeves would impair my movements at all.  I am 5' 5" tall with average length arms and the sleeves just cover my wrist and the upper part of my hand.  I think that this coat runs small since I have other coats that swim on me in a size 16 while this one is snug around my portly part.  One would do well to find alternative buttons however since these are a matching blue in the style with a hard loop on the underside that is sewn on.  On the top of the button, there are two rather hefty gold wires that criss-cross and disappear into a gold interior inside the button through 4 connected holes bored into the top side of the button.  It is a designer's idea of making the gold appear to be the thread for the buttons.  The basketweave style of the coat is not very appealing to me, however, for the price I can live with it.  I think the color is attractive and a nice alternative to black or dark blue that shows every piece of lint.  Overall, recommend.
