As another reviewer pointed out, the pockets are perfectly placed and I agree that it is best that they are not zippered. The leather is buttery and the lining is just right--not too thick or thin. Also, you can pull on the drawstring to create a more tailored fit. The details on the back at the waist and bottom of the coat are interesting and unique. I love that the coat has both toggle buttons and a zipper--if I am on the run, the toggle buttons are my go to closure option but if it is freezing out, then I zip up all the way. The hood is wonderful and fits my head well although it would be nice to be able to tighten it if needed. The sleeves were a bit long for me as well but I roll them up and they look like natural fur cuffs, so I don't mind at all--looks like the coat was designed that way! All in all, I am thrilled with this purchase and I look forward to wearing it each time I grab for it. Overland produces quality products that don't disappoint.
