I bought this coat to have a short wool coat to wear over a sweater or jacket--and to be able to ride a bike on milder winter days which you can't do in a long wool coat.  This coat is nice and the quilted lining makes it a little warmer.  It's not a short version of long wool coat as I thought however.  Mainly because the seams are much more pronounced than you can tell in the picture.  The seams make it seem a little more casual than I thought it looked.  As for sizing, I'm 6' 1" and 180 and a large fits perfectly over a heavy sweater or jacket.  To me that seems about right.
