I am planning a trip to London in December, so I needed a winter coat. Living in Los Angeles there are zero options for this type of thing unless you go to a sports shop where you will only find something for skiing, not much by way of fashion. I scoured tons of sights and couldn't find a single jacket I liked entirely, the ones I found were either too long, too bulky, or just not my style. I took a chance and ordered this coat. I was prepared to spend more, but thought I shouldn't if I'm not going to wear the coat that often. Spending so little I thought I'd get decent quality, but nothing near what I got. This coat fits me PERFECTLY and is much more stylish and beautiful than the photos show. It's a classic, feminine, can be casual or dressy... I am very pleased.
