By Mere from Boston, MA on 08/06/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Warm Cons: There is no inner zipper Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: a nice looking coat.... heavy, warm fabric but there is no inner zipper to fasten for protection against wind and cold.
Fastened with toggle closures only.
exactly what I was looking for. By sewfor grands from south carolina on 05/04/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Going Out, Office, Travel Describe Yourself: Classic, Comfort-oriented, Practical Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: medium weight coat, that is not too short, that it bunches up when you get in a car. not too long either. has a hood attached, not buttoned. sleeve ends are "plain" no buttons or cuffs to catch on things. roomy enough to accomodate layering, I am delighted with it.
Everything I hoped for in a winter coat By Debragena from Lorton, VA on 02/12/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Classic design, Comfortable, Durable, Quality construction, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Going Out, Office, Travel Describe Yourself: Comfort-oriented, Conservative, Practical, Stylish Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I should have bought this coat sooner. It is everything I wanted in a winter coat. The fit is perfect and I appreciate the fine details in the construction such as the finished seam edges, the plaid lining, and the neck tab. Have worn in 40F down to 18F weather and it has kept me toasty warm, even with a biting wind and blowing rain/sleet/snow. The hood stays up even when walking into the wind. Goes with formal or casual wear. I LOVE this coat.
By NYC-Brit country artist from Midwestern university town on 12/25/2007 Pros: A feel-good coat, Attractive Design, Classic British duffle, Comfortable, Durable, Versatile, Warm Best Uses: Allows layers wo bulk, Casual Wear, Going Out, Office, Office Meetings, Travel Describe Yourself: Comfort-oriented, High-end shopper, Practical, Stylish, Urbane arty not faddish Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Excellent cut. Layers well, even over a blazer, but doesn't look bulky.
Yet its cut and drape are such that it looks fine over a shirt or light sweater.
Looks great worn open in warmer weather.
Wonderful red plaid lining (in the dark red coat).
Nice rich wool fabric that doesn't wrinkle.
Putting on this coat makes me feel happy.
The genuine horn buttons and leather toggles make buttoning and unbuttoning easy with gloves.
By SnapRolls from Xenia OH on 12/18/2007 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Office, Travel Describe Yourself: Comfort-oriented, Conservative, Practical Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Nice duffle coat. I wish it had slightly more room through the hips for layering winter items (and that is what brought it down to 4 stars).
The wool is nice and soft and warm. The hood is permanently attached and useful. The horn buttons work well. The pockets are nice and deep and the flaps function well without getting in the way or getting stuck in the pocket.
By Peg from Cheshire, CT on 12/15/2007 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Durable, Warm Describe Yourself: Comfort-oriented, High-end shopper, Practical Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It's a beautifully made coat, but the sizing is bizarre (still being made to fit British sailors in bulky uniforms, perhaps). I bought a 36 for my daughter. She normally wears a US 12. She could fit another person in the coat! I wear a US 16; it's too big for me too. Unless I can find someone whom it fits, I'll be returning it. I love the coat and would recommend it with a warning about the sizing. Order at least 2 sizes smaller.
High quality but not for cold weather By Orangknitter from Reno, Nevada on 12/14/2007 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Durable Best Uses: Casual Wear, Travel Describe Yourself: Practical Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I like this garment but I had to return it because it does not keep me warm on a freezing day. The wool is very thin. ALSO, [...] description IS NOT ACCURATE. The toggles are not horn as described but plastic, as well as the frogging is not leather but plastic also.
By Mary from Shoreview, MN on 12/07/2007 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Warm, Well made Best Uses: Casual Wear, Travel Describe Yourself: Practical Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Beautiful craftsmanship; wonderful fabric.
By Young-at-Heart from West Lebanon, NH on 12/07/2007 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Durable, Needs zipper to be warmer, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Travel Describe Yourself: Comfort-oriented, Practical, Trendy Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use the coat on cold and windy days, when I need to look a little more stylish than in a parka.
I wish, however, it would have a zipper, it would make the coat even warmer - and also faster to close.
By Patti from Little Rock, Arkansas on 10/18/2007 Cons: Thin Wool and No Lining Describe Yourself: High-end shopper, Practical, Stylish Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This coat is NOT the classic Gloverall as we know it. The illustration accompanying the description shows the usual Gloverall plaid/tartan lining, yet this coat is devoid of any lining whatsoever. Additionally, the wool is not a typical coat wool; it's thin. I wanted a warm coat to take to New York this December. Now I'm going to have to continue my search. I am soooooo bummed.
