This is a really pretty coat. It is a fine line between chic and fuddy duddy old lady look, and I think this coat did it! The fit is perfect, true to size. the length is nice mid calf, and the actual weight of the coat is lighter and less bulky than expected. Compared to a puffy / down coat this is light and easy to maneuver in while keeping you very warm. My first outing was a Minnesota -40 day! (that is 40 BELOW windchill).  And I was toasty and actually had to slip it off while grocery shopping.
