Jonathan Michael Camel Hair Coat - Polished (For Women)

This is a beautiful dress coat, formal enough in black for work or evenings out. The size 10 was perfect, with just enough room for a jacket or sweater underneath without being too big over lighter clothes (for reference, I'm 5'3", 150 lbs, busty, and 10 is my usual size). Sleeves are a bit long for me but that's typical since I have slightly shorter than average arms. The cut is very flattering, with a long, lean line. The fabric appears very "finished" and plush, without the slightly hairy quality wool outerwear fabrics can sometimes have. My only complaint is common to most wool fabric coats: this is not likely to be warm enough for truly bitter cold days, at least not without significant layering. But it's the nicest looking of several dress coats I tried, so this is the one I kept.

I read all the reviews. The coat arrived and exceeded my expectations. The critical reviews are overstated. This is a great coat for the price. Heck, great coat period.

Classic versatile top coat. Bought one a couple of years ago and loved it...then lost weight and was so bummed to discover the coat I loved was now way too big. Was thrilled to find it again in my new size and at a ridiculously low price. This is a classic that you will wear for years to come with everything from jeans to dresses. Dress it up or down with choice of scarves, gloves, and even belts! Great fabric (soft, rich-looking, not scratchy) and warm for it's weight. This is not going to be the coat you wear on a frigid winter day, but it is perfectly comfortable between 20 and 45 degrees. Although it would look better if it had a kick pleat, the lack thereof actually makes it warmer. May run long overall for shorter gals...but I'm tall with long arms, and this is close to about right. If you're particular about sleeve length, these sleeves can be easily lengthened up to about an inch max.

The fabric it too thin and it is no spesial layer betwen fabric and lining. So its look poor but it will ok for every day.

I would wear this coat all winter long, to work and out on the town! It is a very soft cashmere/merino blend with a touch of nylon for wear. It is very classic. I do think the size 16 is a little on the small side.
