I absolutely love my coat. It is incredibly warm. The lining of the coat is wonderful and has the perfect amount and placement of pockets. Including a perfectly sized glove pocket that I shudder thinking of having to do without it. I got the coat a couple of years ago and it has kept me warm in some very cold situations. Its buttons need restitching soon but other than that its is just as the day I bought it. All the materials are a delight to touch inside and out. The wool/cashmere blend makes it very warm when you need it to be and open and breezy otherwise. When buttoned up the neckline plunging v is just right for a wrapped scarf to tuck the ends to either side.
