This coat is fabulous. The fit is very flattering, and the length is perfect on me. Because I'm petite, sometimes pea coats are a bit too long on me, but this one is perfect. That being said, I'm not sure how it would fit on someone who is tall. I did order it in an X-Small, so obviously the length is going to be a bit shorter than the larger sizes.
The color is stunning, and it goes with everything (surprisingly). I love that I can wear it with any color and any shoe. It looks appropriate with dresses and skirts, but it also looks great with jeans. There are some pea coats that I feel look a bit to dressy with my jeans and converse, but this one translates easily from casual to dressed-up.
The zippers and the buttons give it an edgy look, but the silhouette is elegant and classy. I love all the details on it - there are zippers, military-style buttons, pockets, a back pleat. and banding on the cuffs. My favorite details are the pocket zippers and the bands that encircle the cuffs: so cool! I really wouldn't change a thing about the styling of the coat.
And of course, the least important, most minute detail: is it warm?
Relax, because not only is it super cute, but it also does what a winter coat is supposed to do. It's a wool blend, which means I'm toasty but not itchy. I wore it out today (it snowed this morning!) and I was comfortably cozy.
