Double-breasted coat in wool-blend melton

This coat is everything I expected. Indeed it does have pockets. The material is very exquisite. I will wear with cashmere sweater for warmth and coziness.

The fit is perfect…true to size. It is made well, with a beautiful fabric. Great classic detailing. Yes, no pockets, but not a deal breaker for me.

For years, I searched high and low for a petite wool coat that would show off my figure, but was resigned to the idea that there would never be anything but oversized, cocoon-shaped coats that I'd just have to live. This coat is wonderful, truly tailored to perfection, and I can't wait to wear it when the weather dips. I've lived in NYC for a decade, but only now just feeling like I finally found *the* coat. Honestly have never been so happy with the cut of a coat before. So happy I snagged one before nearly all the petites sold out. It bears mentioning that it is a slim fit. It might be different for other folks, but for me, I will only be pairing this coat with thin cashmere sweaters or turtlenecks. Anything else with more bulk will make this coat a tight and awkward fit — perhaps even an impossible one — so definitely consider that if if it will have implications on your wardrobe. The only thing I didn't love was how the shoulder pads sat on me, so I took them out myself. Not sure if the system is bugging out or if the reviews are elsewhere, but wanted to address some reviews I saw last week about the pockets or lack thereof. I doublechecked the coat description, which does say front seam pockets, so I took a closer look at them: they are indeed real pockets, but are however sewn together tightly, unlike a loose basting stitch. I used a very tiny pair of scissors to release the threads, but you could also use a seam ripper. So, yes, this coat DOES have pockets. They are just secured well, which I find to be a mark of good craftsmanship. Also worth mentioning there are equally fine basting stitches that secure the lapels to the collar. You can cut/release them to detach the pieces, so you can pop the collar up without lifting the lapels. And of course, there is a third location with basting: the posterior tail/slit.
