This coat is wonderful. It is well made from soft, quality leather. No odd smells. Exactly the kind of leather coat I would expect to find at Carsons, Kohls, etc.
Two down sides: this coat runs a bit small. I ordered a bigger size, in case I wanted to wear a bulky sweater underneath. Instead, it was just the right size. So others may want to order a size larger.
Also, the zipper is a strong metal zipper. However, it does not zip smoothly. It takes a tug. I have tried to grease the zipper, and it is still a bit rough.
Otherwise, the perfect coat.
