I could not tell from the description if this coat had either a zip out lining or a removable hood, as my long London Fog coat has.  It has neither, thus the 4 stars, but does have a light built-in lining.  I also like the shorter length, as it will be easier to take when I travel as it will fold up into a suitcase and not be too heavy.  The color is a very nice deep purple. If I am going any place cold and rainy, I will just have to remember to wear a sweater under it and carry an umbrella.
