The reviews that suggest this coat is warm are correct.  The reviews that suggest the coat is a very nice color that thankfully moves away from the usual black and grey (or occasional blue) peacoat are spot on.  This is a very warm and good looking coat.  Unfortunately, the COLLAR of the coat drives me crazy.  If you are not a male model and/or don't have a very long neck the zipper on the "bib" of this coat will drive you insane.  When you wear it in the cold, the COLD METAL ZIPPER will rub against the bottom of your chin.  This is very irritating, especially when it's freezing out.  I consider this a major design flaw.

If you have a long neck, wear yet another turtleneck or some other garment that is a layer between your chin and the zipper, you will like the coat.  If not, be prepared for a cold metal zipper scratching the underside of your chin or neck.  A much better design would have made the zipper PLASTIC or had the collar cut lower to avoid the chin area entirely.  That said, the color of the coat is a pretty nice alternative to the usual peacoat.  I could really do without the bib, but you can ignore it and just use the buttons.  I think leaving the bid closed/zipped and the coat unbuttoned is a tacky look.  The coat could stand to be a bit more fitted near the lower back or waist, especially if you use this as your only outerwear, but it fits well and is definitely warm.
