I bought this for my 5'9 daughter to wear to Indiana in January, I wanted a coat that would actually keep her warm and would look cute and be affordable. Despite her belief, dad is not printing money in the basement. (I Love Lucy!) I like Carhartt for my husband, most of it is affordable and durable, it does what it's supposed to: lasts a long time, repel stains, wards off zombies, whatever, I do buy this brand and while the coat looks like suede and wool, no barn animals were harmed. It's all acrylic. Acrylic blends. The coat is heavy and soft and cuddly, thick and warm feeling, long, it hits low hip on me and I'm 5'7, deep pockets, big buttons, cool collar. The color is supposed to be 'wine' but it really looks very dark brown, no real red, just dark, dark brown. I'm going to give it to my daughter, she'll never go outside in Indiana anyway, she grew up in SoCal on the beach and her shoes are flipflops. She has no idea. Cute jacket, good deal. True to size.
