This coat was a Christmas gift for my 13 year old son. He is between a boy's size 18-20 and a men's small. I ordered the Royal, men's small coat. Though I wanted the coat to be a little big in the hopes that he would have some growing room, I was concerned that it would be too large for him. Needles to say this coat was a hit; It's a perfect fit with the sleeves being just long enough for him to grow in to but not so long that they get in the way. My son says the coat is very warm and he has been wearing it since Christmas day. Despite not having a hood, this is a good coat and a great value.
