The coat is beautiful but a bit snug for an overcoat. However, the next size up probably would have been too big. Coat is very pretty. Picture on web site shows as more true/Christmas red but is actually more cherry red. It is satisfactory enough to keep; I looked for a red coat for a long time before I bought this one. The fabric and lining are perfect for southwest climate.

I looked for a year for a short trench with a hood & couldn't find any that I liked. This is a fantastic, stylish coat & with the removable wool lining is perfect for all-year-round wear. Fantastic!

I thought I was going to really like this trench but was very dissapointed when I received it.For the price and brand, the stitching is bad ( loose threads ) the slit in the back sticks out and I will have to take it in to the dressmaker and have it stitched up. Just not worth the trouble.I would send it back if I lived in the US and didnt have to go through all the extra trouble.
