“nice transitional-weather coat!”

“I've been needing a new trench-type coat for a few years, but never saw anything I liked until I came across this one in the STP catalog. And that's what I like about it - it doesn't scream "trench coat". The color for the coat I ordered was "khaki" but it's really a subdued, greyed-out, medium-tone olive green, definitely not khaki beige. I heaved a sigh of relief when the coat arrived, because sometimes "khaki" is way too yellowish for my skin tone; not a problem with this coat at all. The wool gabardine fabric is 100% wool, and has a nice hand. The cut is simple and straight-forward. The coat has a top button at the neck. It lends itself to scarves - either wrapped around the neck and tucked inside, or draped around the shoulders. It's roomy enough for a jacket or blazer underneath. My coat is a size 8; I'm 5'2" with a small frame. It fits well across the shoulders and bustline. At the moment, the coat is with my seamstress being shortened by about six inches. I knew it would be too long because the coat is a regular, not petite size. But at this price, I'm happy to pay for the hem alteration. Overall, I'm very please with this purchase.”
