Aston Krek Shearling Coat with Toscana Collar (For Men)

Normally a size 48 fits me like a glove, this coat was small enough that I could barely get the buttons to touch. Beautiful, but no larger size available for me to size up. With regret I had to return the coat.

A dozen times now I've tried on the coat and cannot decide whether or not to keep it. The garment is well-made, but I worry about the buttons, and the tiny zipper is difficult to engage. It's warm enough for late-fall and early-spring use in Michigan (or winter, with heavy sweater under it), but zipping up the collar all the way for cold and windy weather would make the wearer look silly. It gives the appearance of stylishness but it simply hangs on me, like a big bag, with no tailoring at the waist. Sleeves can be turned up if they are too long and still look good, but are longer than necessary and a bit restrictive. Long length is attractive for walking but sitting is awfully tough without unbuttoning and unzippering. I paid "only" [$] for the coat and I know that's supposed to be a bargain, but it doesn't seem that way to me. Writing this evaluation has been a good exercise for me in arriving at a conclusion--I'm returning the coat. My wife and I have been buying from STP "forever," and it's our favorite vendor. We know that some purchases work out and others don't. [...]

Very nice coat, but too tight across shoulders, not for broad shouldered man, sleeve length worked fine for 6 ft 2inch man, was sorry to return it. Was a good deal.

Although the fit isn't perfect, the coat itself is gorgeous. And now I have extra incentive to lose the extra pounds!

Cut a bit slimmer than the typical sizing. Size 40 was perfect for someone inbetween 38 and 40. You can wear a sportsjacket or bulky sweater without feeling binding or baggy.
