I don't know that I would call this a "coat", because it really isn't, but it is a great light jacket. I ordered the black and the khaki for our local veterans' group, and they are perfect. They haven't been put to the test for durability yet, but they feel up to standard and then some. The fabric feels strong and holds its shape after washing, the color is great, and I think they will need very little maintenance to look good. The sizing seems to run just a little large, and the sleeves are long, but not so big as to be a problem.
