The coat has many features that make it appear to be an expensive coat. The lining is pretty nice and "fancy" (sleeve lining is different from the inside, etc).  The cashmere is very soft. I would say it fits true to size in that I wear a 52 long and ordered a 52 long and it is wearable with my suit coat so I would not order a size up.

One thing that keeps it from being 5 stars for me. For the money it is a great coat and very comfortable. But, it seems rather light as in "not heavy".  The lining is very light too. Now, this may actually be a good thing as I can wear it shopping or switching in and outdoors without sweating. It also doesn't "pull my shoulders down" as some heavier outer coats I have owned have tended to do. But it is so light it sort of gives the impression it is not an expensive coat.  I am sure this is a perception thing.  Here in New England we expect all outer coats to be heavy. My old Christian Dior full length outer coat weighs a ton. There is nothing cheap about the stitching, or workmanship and the material has a really nice feel. I could imagine it is light by design for Mediterranean winters. Just thought I should mention it because it sort of surprised me.

That said, I am going to keep it and do like the coat a lot.
