The coat came one day earlier than the shipping date described. Yes it was slightly larger than I expected, but I dislike restrictive clothing... coats included. The extra room will allow for, perhaps another jacket to be worn underneath. (Though I hardly think it will be necessary. This coat is heavy duty, and if you, like me get cold when it dips below 60 degrees, this coat will be a Godsend !
As to the quality; the stitching is absolutely great, first class! The leather, although I don't know exactly what I expected, exceeded all my expectations. The leather is very supple, bordering on luxurious. It is beyond all doubts one of the finest coats I've ever purchased.
With a full length heavy duty zipper, a snap closure at the top and bottom, and large buttons to hold the front flap (?) closed, while the buttons themselves are backed with "back up" buttons inside to reinforce the button stitching. (Sorry, I'm not a tailor so I'm not familiar with the exact terminology.)
I do know, however this is a very well made coat, ( I checked the stitching with a magnifying glass.), and though I won't be able to honestly vouch for it's warmth in cold weather yet, (it's in the upper 80's and lower 90's here.) I am very confident that this coat will be more than adequate for Ohio's cold winter weather.
I am very satisfied with this purchase and would without hesitation recommend it to anybody.
