Perfect, timeless and classic
Even at the clearance price, this is the most money I have ever spent on a single garment. I kept gravitating back to this design, and bit the bullet when it went on sale after much internal struggle. I'm glad I did. I hope that I can wear it t for years to come. It looks elegant but not ostentatious. I don't want my first impression to be "here comes someone in a really expensive coat," I just want that effortless, impeccably put together look that only a high quality, well-made wardrobe staple can bring. This delivers on all of that. Bonus: despite its slim, understated silhouette, it's incredibly warm. A true classic.
The only adjustment that would make next year's batch a 10/10 would be just a little more give in the upper sleeves. I don't have disproportionately large arms and don't tend to wear bulky layers, and yet the upper sleeves feel tight whenever I have even a thin second layer (ie cardigan) underneath. Because of how much I love this coat, and how tailor-made the rest of the fit is,
I can make it work, but even just 1/2 inch more fabric in the arms would make it perfectly comfortable in every way.
