“Warm, and multi-purpose”

“This coat is warmer than it may seem at first glance. I believe that is due to the dense wool weave acting as a good wind barrier combined with the almost inapparent insulation between the wool outer layer and flannel inner lining. I purchased a bit on the large side in order to be able to fit lots of other things underneath when necessary. For this purpose, that works out. However, I could see that if one was looking for a more form-fitting coat, this would not be a good choice. Therefore, I intend to use this for cold-weather day-to-day wear. At full price, it would be too much since I am on a budget, but at the price offerred by Sierra Trading Post, that works out quite well for me. I most like that it is warm , versatile, comes with a detatchable hood, and comes in a variety of colors. However, the details I do not like as much are are the vertical-entry pockets (I prefer side entry), the button holes are an extremely close fit to the button size, and the hood is not adjustable and therefore sits on the loose side. I typically wear a size 6 these days, and purchased the S. I found that the sleeve length fits me well (halfway down the palms when weating perhaps 2 shirts underneath), but I am also 5'2". Therefore, someone taller might have issues with the sleeve length.”
