The coat is simply beautiful with great styling and fit. I bought a winter white one last year and decided to buy another in black; however, I had to return it because I just had too many black coats. Who knows, I just might change my mind and reorder it again because I already miss it.

Great coat, but hard to button

I love this coat. The red color is gorgeous and it's the right length. The only annoyance is that the buttonholes are a little too small to button/unbutton the coat easily. This may change once I wear the coat more, though.

Describe Yourself:

Honestly I didn't get the coat until it was too late in the season to wear it so I cannot give as detailed a review as I would like. It's not as thick as I was hoping but that is not to say it won't be warm. The fit and cut is perfect. I will heed against buying a size up because it is cut a little large as a coat ought to be. I would also have preferred a less synthetic material or at least a blend.

The coat can be worn for semi-causal to more formal outings. I love the color and the style of the coat. The pockets are nice and deep. The only drawback is that the square-ishness of the buttons make them difficult to fasten.

Your sizes run very small. I wear a size 8 or "small" in most lines of clothing in all stores. Your size 8 or "small" is much too small for me. I have learned I have to order a size up from Chadwick. This red coat is a size 10, the shoulders being a little wide, but otherwise very comfortable and is a beautiful coat.
