Nice Coat, But Could Better
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I like this coat overall. It fits really well, nicely tapered, and a good weight, but the fabric has a sheen to it, very noticeable in brighter light, which I'm not crazy about. It doesn't have any inner breast pockets, and I don't feel secure putting my phone in the side pockets. I did get lots of positive comments from friends.

Great style chose for any occasion
Size: Medium, Color: Black
Genuinely the perfect fit and great for the style I prefer. Great material and thick to keep you warm but not to hot. Black is deep and adds that depth that I am looking for
