I received this jacket as a gift, and have lived in it all winter. I live in Wisconsin, so a warm coat is necessary for the winter! This jacket was so warm, but not so much so that I couldn't wear it indoors without sweating. The blue forest is a really pretty color. I am a size small in most things but got a medium for some extra room to fit sweaters and sweatshirts underneath. It fits great! Washes well.
