The feel of the coat is luxurious. The whip stitch detailing adds sophistication with the fur collar and cuffs, it goes from casual to dressy. Dressier than any other sherling coat I've seen. I bought an extra large based on the reviews that said the sizes ran small and that that equated to a size 12. It is a tad wide across the shoulders where the sleeves attach, but fits me through the hips. I am very happy with my purchase and look forward to wearing it when the cool weather returns.
