Classic jacket for winter!December 11, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this wool blend coat for my trip up to DC for the holidays. I'm always nervous when purchasing clothing online as I never know if it will fit, especially since Amazon never has a brand specific size chart.
I chose the large in case Hydraulic runs small, however they do not. I'm only 5'2, so the proportions on this jacket are made for someone with longer arms and torso. I have to roll up the sleeves so I don't look like a little girl playing dress-up. I will probably wear a belt around the waist for a more fitted look.
I can already tell that the buttons will fall off, but this is true with most inexpensive brands and sometimes even with expensive designers. It comes with two replacement buttons just in case.
It was definitely a good deal for the price, but I don't bet on this holding up for a long time. If you live in a warmer climate and only have to wear coats for a few weeks out of the year, then this is the coat for you. If you are stuck shoveling snow out of your driveway every year, I recommend a more expensive coat.
