I own this coat already and I think everyone and their mom should own one of these. My mother just bought this coat because she didn't really own a jacket/ coat for everyday including extremely cold weather. The inside layer (which is thin down) can come off easily with buttons that are the attached inside the coat. The hood can come off easily with a hidden zipper and the nice thing about the hood is that it can be fitted to your head and if it were to rain, there is a micro visor piece that actually helps. I wore this in freezing weather and I was so warm! I'm SO thankful for this coat because it looks so cute on me and it does its job.
