“acceptable coat for cold climates”

“marc ny (the shabby step-brother of andrew marc ny) lambskin coats will invariably keep you warm in any climate except sub-zero weather; however, the coats do not exhibit the attention to detail that a 1k+ coat should. true, by virtue of the fact that shearling coats are by definition the skin and fur of the animal, bulk is assumed but not soviet-era gulag styling. it fits (and looks)more like a heavy sack than a top-of-the-line tailored shearling coat (e.g., exposed zippering, cheaply made metal fasteners, absolutely no contouring, etc.) the fur is also not as silky as it can be given proper processing (though it is soft but not 1k+ soft!) the exterior leather is supple and satisfactorily dyed and treated, i would n-e-v-e-r pay the suggested retail for this coat. it is however, worth what stp charges on clearance.”
