Fashionable, Functional & Fabulous
The Galina coat exceeds my expectations in every way! Chic yet functional. I've worn it twice to walk my Collie in 30 degree weather and NOTHING gets through this coat! It has a sturdy, metal zipper (which must be carefully zipped lest the Tigrado fur get caught in it), and the sheepskin hide blocks the breeze/wind entirely. As for the inside of the coat, the shorn sheep fur keeps you warm but also regulates itself accordingly so you don't overheat. The hood is full and abundant in its Tigrado furnishing, and immensely flattering to the face. I DO find it helpful to wear a cap underneath the hood as it helps keep the hood in place (unless it's super windy). A scarf wrapped around the base of the hood would keep it in place in very high wind. My only criticism is that air will seep in at the base of the collar when the coat is zipped up, so a simple, elastic neck scarf would mitigate this (unless of course you prefer a long scarf wrapped around the base of the hood/collar). I LOVE the jungle brown color and oatmeal Tigrado fur. It's especially complimentary to a gal with graying hair! For reference, I am 5'3", 128 lbs with a curvy figure. I went with a Medium and it's a PERFECT fit worn both open and closed. This is a jacket I will wear forever! Outrageously happy customer here! Well done Overland.
