High Country Sheepskin Coat

I purchased this item primarily as serious winter overcoat that I could wear with suits. Initially I wanted something a little more formal looking, but this coat is such a beautiful standout, generating lots of compliments. It truly says, "luxe." I'm 6' tall, slim at the waist and big in the arms and chest and this coat has the perfect proportions for me, the bottom hem touching the top of my knees. The Overland representative who helped me with sizing nailed it. There's enough room for a suit underneath (chest and sleeves) but the coat is also comfortable if I just wear a turtle neck or tee shirt beneath. It hangs perfectly. I love the feel of the shearling on my skin and - as with natural products - this coat "breathes" so wonderfully while keeping me super warm. I have two recommendations for future iterations. 1) maybe the snaps could be larger on the inside of the coat and/or the shearling could be trimmed away where it meets the snaps on the inside. It's a bit of a struggle to fasten them after the coat is already zipped. And 2) an inside chest pocket would be nice.

It is a lot lighter than I thought it would be, making it even more enjoyable to wear. It keeps you warm no matter what. Plan on enjoying it for quite a while.

The coat caught my eye immediately and fit me well. But it's difficult to get the zipper started, and the snaps don't reliably work. Because of these issues, I exchanged the coat for a new one, but the closures remain difficult. I must say that the store was more than happy to make the exchange. I decided to live with the fastening issues because it's such a striking coat.

Quality of coat, love the color, warm, adaptable to dress up and down

Picked this up after stopping in a store to just try one on. They happened to have one in my size and although I had no intention of purchasing that night, after seeing it in person I just couldn't pass it up. Pros: The quality coat itself is truly outstanding and it lives up to the premium price tag. It's also incredibly warm, I would not hesitate to wear this in frigid conditions, in fact I wish it were colder this winter so I could wear it more often. It really feels like a luxury product that will last for decades or longer. Cons: Similar to what most others have shared there are three design issues that prevent this jacket from being absolutely perfect. First, the zipper runs way too low on the coat, making it difficult and awkward to zip up. The bottom/double zipper is slightly annoying and adds to the zipper difficulties , but it's also necessary so you can walk/sit/ do anything other than stand still while the jacket is zipped. Silver lining is that the jacket is so incredibly warm, you'll probably wear it unzipped quite frequently. Second, the snaps are far too small for a jacket this thick and heavy. They're also extremely difficult to snap with gloves. I prefer to use the snaps instead of the zipper, but some nice buttons would have been a huge design improvement. Third, the pockets are a bit awkwardly placed. They are slightly low and their location creates a strange overall jacket profile (sort of bulgy) around the pockets when it is zipped or snapped. Overall this coat is extraordinary and truly feels like an heirloom type of product. I absolutely love it regardless of the design issues I outlined above. If you can accept the cost, I think you'll find it's well worth what you are paying.
