I Was searching for a new coat, that had to be vegan and environmental in its manufacture. I found the perfect one! I AM 5'1", a little overweight, AND GOT A MEDIUM in the slate colour (charcoal).I FIND THE FIT JUST RIGHT AND I GET COMPLIMENTS. I CAN'T wear my USUAL bulky sweaters and FLEECES, as the fIt IS STREAMLINED, not tight, and FLATTERING. I have found it very warm and windproof, so I won't need the bulky layers underneath anyway. I am looking forward to the upcoming polar vortexes. Bring them on!
