I was hoping to order the silver color but it was never in stock. I wanted the coat so much that I decided to go with the mint. It is truly a beautiful coat. The color is rather unique - it is set apart from your normal drab winter blacks, greys, and browns. It is plush and so very soft, and indescribably warm! Living in PA, we do not get too many days where the temperatures are frigid, but this coat would certainly keep you warm if the temps got down into the single digits or even below. I don't like winter but I LOVE coats...I actually keep hoping for colder weather so I can wear my coat without being too warm! I am very impressed with the Nuage brand, so much so that I just ordered another coat by Nuage and anxiously await its arrival.
