Wow, for the price especially ~ this is a great coat!  It's not super thick but is still very warm and cozy.  The hood when down looks like a shawl color but when you lift it up it is a huge (HUGE) hood.  We are calling it the Jedi hood. ;)  The fit runs maybe a tad large, which works for me as it allows for a sweater underneath.  Seems fairly well made, I almost expected a cheap quality but not the case.
