Amadeus Finch Coat - Mohair-Wool (For Men)

The coat is incredibly lovely, well-made and light! The Amadeus line from Schneider's of Salzburg is pure luxury. Frankly, I hadn't anticipated it being so nice, and I already own an Amadeus dress coat and two Schneider's everyday coats.

This is the third european size that claims to match US sizes. I ordered the 48 (38US), and it is HUGE! With that said, if you can find the right size, the coat is just a fantastic deal for the money!

What a great coat! Nice tailoring, fantastic luxurious feeling material, light in weight, but plenty warm. The color is a very rich dark brown; it works well paired with a nice sweater and jeans or over a suit. Three inside pockets (all with zippers) work great for wallet and cell phone. Has become my favorite "outerwear" coat, and should remain so for many years. Expensive, yet it is a tremendous value thanks to Sierra Trading Post. It runs large--I normally wear a 38, but the 36 fit much better (I tried both). I would recommend ordering a size smaller.

Very nice coat overall, may actually be from their top end "Collection Solitaire" (that's what was on one of the tags). If you're wondering about the brand (I was engaged in a futile search for an Amadeus website prior to purchase) the tag has it: [@]Considering that Amadeus is already Schneider's high end line, either way this coat is very high end. Outer fabric is the definite selling point. It is very soft when felt going "with the grain" so to speak. The fabric also has a great look with subtle coloring from the various wools woven together. Also, the lining has embroidered Mozart busts all over it-kind of a fun touch. It's somewhat telling about the quality of this coat that the interior has more cashmere for the lower lining than the exterior. Well-made with nice pockets (three zippered interior including one that zips vertically near the top left side that works great for holding the cell phone), solid stitching throughout. My only gripe would be the generous fit-most higher end clothing tends to be more tailored, which I prefer, and this coat is a bit on the "roomy" side. I actually bought a 42 when I normally wear a 44 and it was still somewhat roomy, but not so much so that I would even go lower in size. A 42 is perfect in the shoulders but a little larger in the torso for me. If I had gotten a 44, I would have most likely exchanged it. Considering the country of origin, it's may be that it's made to wear over other bulky clothing like sweaters, which I have yet to wear it with. I could always get it tailored down in the torso. Also, the sleeves work great for me (I normally wear a long suit) but may be on the long side for others. With the color and length it is best as a casual/weekend piece but with the generous size could probably be worn over a suit as a shorter topcoat.

I usually wear a 46, I got a size 44 and it is still a bit on the large side. The shoulders and chest do not fit badly but the skirt part of the coat is huge - could easily fit a man in his advanced stages of pregnancy.
