The coat is well made, and drapes beautifully over and around the body. The Charcoal coat matches well with many different shades of color. Is not very heavy, nor very light, a medium weight to be sure. Was perfect for 50 degree's, not quite enough when temps dropped to 40, but that's OK. Got many compliments first night out, expect more as time moves on. Ordered one size smaller as suggested by other reviewers, was the the correct thing to do, fit perfectly.
