I had a CK waist-length puffer coat and i loved how warm it kept me, so i wanted a longer one that would keep my legs warm too.  This coat is great! It's light-weight yet keeps me very warm! I had originally ordered the Large based on the other reviews here (saying this coat runs small), but it just looked/fit too big on me, so I exchanged it for the Medium, which fits/shapes me nicely yet still has room for a decently thick sweater underneath (I am 5'7", 140lbs, about a size 4-6 or S-M in Banana Republic clothing). The hood is big, which is good bc I have a large head and it covers my head when I have it up in a big ponytail/bun, but it's a little too big when my hair is down (it slightly covers my eyes). I love the fur! But both coats I had gotten were tightly folded up for delivery, so the fur was a bit bent in and it's taking a while for it to shake out. The fur is actually on a detachable strip that can button off of the hood. For Via Spiga this is such a great price!
