I saw reviews that the sleeves were too long. When I put the coat on I did notice the length but it fit so well I didn’t worry about it. Then I got in the car and the sleeves did not scoot up my arms! Amazing to have a coat that still goes to my wrist while driving. The fit is wonderful. Though I will say the pockets are lower than normal, they line up with the longer sleeves. But again not a big thing for me. The overall length of the coat is fabulous and so far it seems very warm and wind protected like you would expect from wool. The wool is not brushed, so no it is not soft and smooth, personally I love it, wool is scratchy. It is still very soft. The only problem that removed a star was the pocket on the left is caught in the bottom snap stitching so it only is part of a pocket and the buttons are not sewed well, they will come off it not fixed. I wanted to do an exchange but I love the warm coat too much to go without it.I love the coat's styling. I love that it has a hood (which is often hard to find in long tailored coats!) And the lines and seams all appear to be sewn cleanly / nearly.My one problem with this coat is the sizing. Don't be caught off guard as I was: This is not a true petite length. The detailed description DOES say that the only modification to petite is in the sleeves. That is - the body proportions and length are no shorter than standard, but who thinks to look for that?! So right now, wearing this coat with the hood up, I look like a Death Eater. But I like the coat enough to keep it and pay a tailor to shorten the length.As for those who complained about the coat attracting animal fur... It's black. It's wool. What did you expect? I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and always anticipate having to use a lint brush before I leaving the house wearing anything black - let alone wool!Beautifully made coat. Warm with the perfect fit. 100% worth the price.This coat fits perfectly. Said it would be a month before it arrived but I received it in one week and this was on time since I am leaving for a trip. I had ordered another coat because I thought this would not arrive in time. But I wanted this coat so I ordered it anyway. The fit is perfect looks really nice on me. I tried it on and my son said that he even loved it which surprised me because he never like anything I buy to wear because of age difference. Will buy from this company again. You shouldn't be disappointed if you buy this coat. The size is correct. I wear a XL but in coats (I don't like the coat to fit snug) I have to get the 0x the 1x is to large. I am 5'6 and weight 195lbs. The coat is not tight across the shoulders or arms and it is a heavy coat ( a good winter coat)This formal full length wool blend coat is beautifully tailored. The construction is complete quality with true attention to detail. The lining and material that this coat is made out of makes it surprisingly warm without adding unattractive bulk. It is a classic wardrobe must-have that will never go out of style. The removable hood allows you to wear it more formal (without) or casual (with the hood). Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better coat if I had gone into Nordstrom's or Macy's to try it on. I LOVE the fact that they include a wide range of lengths (petite, regular or tall) to include everybody. Don't hesitate to buy this gorgeous, flattering, quality wardrobe staple. You will NOT be disappointed!The jacket was great it was packaged nicely. I open up the jacket and proceeded to unbutton it, and try it on. It fit perfectly when I stuck my hand in the left pocket. I found a rumpled up face mask. I’m not sure what that was about, I immediately wash my hands. I tossed the rumpled up mask. Placing the jacket my steam sanitize cycle.I like how it looks, and I'm 5'4", so the big size is ankle length, which is good for coverage.However, if you order this, know that it's gonna take a month, or more, to get to you.I live at around 8000 feet, in the Rocky mountains, in the middle of ski resorts. I wanted a nice thick wool coat, instead of running around in my ski jacket.I thought a $200 coat would be nice and thick, so I splurged.I would rate this coat about 40 degrees.I stood next to an air conditioner, and felt the cold air come through.This morning, it was 20 degrees, so I put it on, and stood outside. Nope.Since it would take so long to ship it back, and get a refund for a new coat, and the start of ski season is already 2 weeks away, I'm going to go get 2 fleece bathrobes, sew them together, and make a lining for it.If you live in a mild climate, or just want it for spring and fall, it's a lovely coat, but be aware that if you are in the rockies, chigago, Alaska, or one of the other harsher climates where you can't screw around, it needs a thick lining, and to be lanolin coated.It is too big and appears very boxy. The fit is strange and the coat is heavy. It does not justify the price tag. I returned it.
