I purchased this coat about a month ago. I needed something for San Francisco's wet and cool winter, and had my eye on something from Barbour. However, after trying on a couple of Barbour jackets, they seemed too boxy. I took a chance on this coat and have been quite happy with it. And, I have gotten several compliments on it, which is a plus.

My only suggestions would be to line the sleeves in satin (or something smooth). The wool lining in the sleeves makes it a little friction-ey when putting it on over a sweater. Also, I would prefer if the hood was removable. But those are small complaints for an otherwise great coat.
