This is a very well designed coat - The roomy, zippered pockets are comfortably located for hand placement; The zipper goes all the way up, almost to a mock turtleneck;  The snap front, combined with the zipper, keeps the biting winds at bay; The coat is not too heavy, not too light; The hood is roomy, but not overly large; The coat has drawstrings at the bottom, at the waist and on the hood, so you never need to feel a draft when you are wearing this coat.

The coat is also well made and the fabric has a wonderful rich feel to it.  The coat hangs beautifully; it looks nice both when you are all zippered/snapped up and when you let the coat hang open.

I am so pleased - it was bought as part of the 80% off gold box promotion - so it was a marvelous bargain - but it would still be a great buy at its retail price - its that nice.
