“Supple, Strong, Surprisingly Lightweight”

“As soon as I put on this coat, I knew that despite being intimidated by the price I'd keep it. Soft, supple, but robust leather with a short-clipped, silky shearling lining... but much lighter to lift and wear than I'd expected. When zipped up, the coat surrounds me from the tops of my thighs to my chin, but it's been tailored so I can lift or move my arms, walk, sit, stand as I want... without feeling constricted. [To the reviewer who complained she couldn't get the collar to act right: perhaps yours was damaged in shipment, but this is a funnel-neck design, and the collar is supposed to stand up. Very handy when the cold wind blows. :)] Lastly, I am 6' tall, weigh 220lbs, more or less athletically built... and the XL fits me perfectly. The coat's roomy enough for me that I can wear both a t-shirt and sweater underneath it. Were I to gain 15-20lbs, I can see how the coat, particularly when zipped up, might fit my shoulders and chest comfortably... but probably would be uncomfortably tight-fitting at the bottom.”
