I have been wanting a camel hair coat for a long time. I had worn my mother's raglan sleeved, round collared, almost to my ankles camel hair coat back in the 70's in college and loved it. But I wanted a more contemporary but classic look & this double breasted longer pea coat style was it for me. I was a bit anxious about the size as I am usually a 6 and all that was left were 8's and 4's. Took a chance on the 4 as it was described as relaxed fit and it is a perfect fit. With the nasty cold spring we have had I actually got to wear it twice! It arrived with an odd circular indentation on the front, and I waited to write this to see if it would fade away after hanging. It is less noticeable, but I think I will have to steam it out.

Great color and very soft

This coat is perfect for early Spring or Autumn when I'm tired of dark colors. The camel hair is soft & the coat is beautifully made. For warmth - good to 45 degrees. It's also long enough for those of us who want to cover our knees. I am 5'8" & it hits at mid calf. I was, however, somewhat disappointed that there is not the usual hand-picked stitches or top stitching details that are generally found on coats of this type. That would have greatly ampped-up the styling. So I added my own. I will also probably add better buttons, maybe mother of pearl. Other wise perfect all purpose coat for both day & night use.
