Jonathan Michael Wool-Alpaca Coat - Regular (For Women)

This is a very nice coat but they skimped on the fabric or cut at the bottom. The size 14 fit great but there's not enough overlap and there's no back vent. If you've got a very slim straight figure, I guess it would fit fine. The size 16 was too big. Am I making any sense? It's just an odd fit and I was very disappointed because it's a good looking coat.

I was drawn to this coat because of it's simple classic styling. I still like it, but it might be a bit too plain. The fabric is nice so I will be keeping it for dressy occasions. I don't know if it will be warm enough for Illinois winters, but it is big enough to layer under. I also liked that it came in petite sizes, but the arms and length are longer than I expected. I might get it shortened.

I bought this coat early last winter, and wore it constantly for 6 months (I live in Homer Alaska). It's a compliment-magnet, looks quite elegant, and fits perfectly. The workmanship is of high quality, and the coat has held its shape over countless hours of auto driving. My only two complaints are that it is not as warm as I'd like when the cold wind blows, and after a season of use, it looks just a bit worn. The alpaca wool is textured like a boucle' (I think it's the natural curl in the wool yarn), and it tends to show wear more than would, say, a flat Melton wool. I still love it, feel gorgeous in it, and would highly recommend it. I am a petite, and don't mind coats being a bit long on me, so I would say the length is fine for taller folks than I.
