Love. This. Jacket.  This Fall, I discovered my 8 year old had outgrown all of last years oversized winter things. Temperature dropping, super busy, no time to go out shopping around - I read the reviews and took a chance and it is quite simply the best coat! my son adores it, in fact, he wears it around the house just because it feels so good (like it was a robe!) The green is gorgeous, the outer fabric is like a smooth suede in feel, the inside is the hands down best though, the brown fur is unbelievably plush and soft. So, WARNING: do not put the jacket in the dryer! the super soft fur will lose its amazingness, and believe me - you want to keep it's amazingness. My son actually detaches the hood and just wears it around because it feels so good - having tried it on, I  have to agree! we all stopped teasing him about it because we just can't argue with the fact that it feels great. And if our son is wearing a green hood in all the Christmas pictures? well, green is seasonal! Tall, skinny almost 9 year old usually wears 10/12 slim, bought the (14/16) for arm length coverage and am very happy with the choice.
