The faux fur on this coat is really pretty and soft, and I thought the quality of the coat overall was excellent. I loved the hood - it falls around your face just beautifully and stays up over your head without having to be adjusted constantly. I did not think the fur trim on the front was as pretty as the coat itself - it did not look realistic to me. The coat is very long and voluminous at the bottom, which may explain the comments about tight upper sleeves from other reviewers. I did not find the sleeves tight, but it was almost like the coat was a size larger from the waist down. This would be good, I think, for really cold weather, but I ended up returning it because I didn't think I would ever wear it in Virginia - we just don't have that much cold weather. But I would recommend this for someone in a cold climate. The quality was great for the price!
