“Very Impressive Fabric”

“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.”
