This IS a beautiful Merino shearling By oceangrl from Cape Cod, MA on 11/14/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Stylish, Versatile Best Uses: Casual Wear, Going Out, Office, Travel Describe Yourself: Classic, Comfort-oriented, Practical, Stylish Chest Size: Feels too small Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: After reading many of the comments on this and other shearlings, it became apparent there are a lot of buyers who haven't taken the time to learn about shearling. If you're spending this much on a coat, it's probably a good idea to be informed about what you're buying. Once you understand the different 'types' of Spanish shearling (thinkness of hide, density of fur) you'll understand what a great deal this is (I bought at [$].) It's in the details; the coat has finished button holes, the stitching and panel construction is finished very nicely, there's a hood and hand pockets sewn on to the seems. Not all shearlings come with pockets because they look bulky. I'm petite, usually wear a regular 2-4 and I bought the dark brown in 6 - it fits beautifully. I would call it a "slim fit". Also keep in mind these will give a little with wear - it's a skin, and like leather, will stretch a little. This coat is really gorgeous and a good deal for the money.
By Tennislover from Washington, DC on 10/26/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Durable, Stylish Best Uses: Going Out, Office, Travel Describe Yourself: Classic, High-end shopper, 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: This coat is warm. I won't have to wear a lot of layers in the winter with this one. And I love the hood!! Only complaint is that it isn't long enough (more like a 3/4 length, not full length coat).
WOW this coat is luxurious By NW shopper from Maple Valley, Wa on 10/12/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, luxurious, Stylish Best Uses: Casual Wear, Going Out, Travel, Winter warmth Describe Yourself: Classic, High-end shopper, 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: This is a very beautiful coat. Something you see at ski resorts. After the second try, the fit is great. I originally purchased a size 4 based on other reviews. I am a standard size 6. About the first coat, the shearling was not as thick or as luxurious and the coat did not have a belt. The second size 6 is amazing!
The lovliest coat I have ever owned By Rose White from Charlottesville, Virginia on 04/13/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Stylish, Versatile Best Uses: Going Out, Office, Travel, Work Meetings Describe Yourself: Classic, Comfort-oriented, High-end shopper, Practical, Stylish 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: Haven't yet had a chance to wear this outdoors, in cold weather, as I purchased it in early spring. However, it feels great on and seems as if it would be perfectly warm for our climate, which is often well below freezing. Beyond the practical, it is simply beautiful. The feel is not bulky like some fleece coats, but more like a heavy knit sweater coat. I especially like the hood feature, which when down lays like a nicely tailored broad collar. I thought there was a belt in the photo on the company web site. But there is no belt after all. No matter. It wears perfectly as is. I am a full bodied, size 14, and this not only fits really well, it looks great on! At first I bought a slightly less expensive Aston coat, trying hard to stay within my means. But it wasn't the coat I really wanted so I gave in, returned it, and bought this one. Wow. I am so glad I did. And I look forward to wearing it with enjoyment and appreciation for decades to come.
Fit is Strange, but beautiful coat! By Tina in GA from GA on 03/30/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Stylish, Versatile Best Uses: Casual Wear, Going Out, Travel Describe Yourself: Classic, Comfort-oriented, High-end shopper, Stylish Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels too short Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought 3 Aston coats to choose from, and this one was way too big in the shoulders. So, I exchanged it for the next size down, but then the hip area was too tight when buttoned up. So, had to return it.
All I wanted this Christmas was this! By Stacey from Freehold, NJ on 12/19/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Stylish, Versatile Best Uses: Casual Wear, Going Out Describe Yourself: High-end shopper 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: I am very very happy with this amazing coat..I saw similar coats more than double the price I paid for and the quality and softness were not even comparable to the Aston coat. I've been asked on the street by strangers as to where I got it..I recommend it...thousands of times..
just was not lucky with this one By MIA from Michigan on 12/07/2008 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable 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: I ordered first the coat in Santa Fe color, and was so pleased with my first coat that decided to order the second one in a different color (dark brown). I however was very disappointed and had to return the second coat ( Dark brown)-uneven color ouside and inside, poor finish of the hood, loose buttons, spots around the pockets-not nearly the quality of the first one. Just can not hit the Jackpot twice :)
The Santa Fe color, however, - is a beautiful color, finish, and fit.

I thought I was getting a nice warm winter coat, but this thing was THIN and would only qualify for a cool fall day. Very pretty design, but it won't keep you warm!
None Better-The Finest In theLand... By polarbearbonestu from Michigan on 11/07/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Elegant, Headturner, Rich, Soft, Versatile, Warm Best Uses: Formal Occasions, Getting noticed, Going Out, Travel Describe Yourself: Classic, Classy, Comfort-oriented, MY WIFE, Practical, Social, Stylish 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: This is quite possibly the most stunningly stylish and beautiful coat {Womens} that I have ever layed eyes on...Certainly the finest I have ever purchaced for any woman...
The meticulous hand stitched seams really accent this coat and makes it truly unique. The Quality of the Merino lamb skin is unequalled..Running your fingers over the outer leather equates to the softness of A horse's nose....The wool on the inside is not coarse like the American Lambswool coats by Aston, It is like the fine Mouton you usually only find on expensive coat collars but the entire inside of the coat is of this esquisite quality of fleece...I canot imagine anyone being the least bit cold while wearing this apparel or not standing out in A crowd...
Absolutely stunning from hood to bottom...
My fine wife couldn't be more pleased...I just hope they sell out before my mother-in-law sees it!!!
a great bargain if they have your size.. By loves the good stuff from GA on 07/24/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Lightweight, Warm Cons: Inside seaming a bit poor Best Uses: Casual Wear, Going Out, Travel Describe Yourself: Classic, Comfort-oriented, High-end shopper, Practical, Stylish 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: For the retail price, verses what STP is asking, well, it's one of the best deals I've ever seen. The only complaint I have, and it's minor, is that the inside taping around the hood seems to not be finished very well, and a few other inside seams aren't finished off. But heck, that's on the INSIDE, no-one will see. The outside is beautiful. All the stitching is perfect there. So light yet so warm. I did go up a size because I'm large on top (36 D AND wide shoulders) so I have enough room thru shoulders but it's not form-fitting like the pic shows. Who cares? Beautiful coat, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 100% real shearling lambskin at a ridiculous price, so soft I thought it was fake, but its NOT. Plenty of room for a sweater too. GET IT.
