I hope you get to try the coat Suz.

I love what Angie said about "precious". I realize I do that with HEWIs when I get them.

Gryffin, thank you! YES! I did notice that coat and think it is beautiful and was actually considering. I may ask Angie about it. I do worry that it is shorter than I might wish. But it looks fantastic and reviews are positive. It's a bit more casual than I am hoping for, and yet it would be such a useful item that I am tempted....

Suz, I hope you will have a chance to try this coat. The workmanship looks exquisite, the shaping of the back is really beautiful, and I know those silver buttons must make your heart beat faster! On the minus side, (besides the price) the color is iffy online--could be a deep grey-blue or just a dull navy--and that collar is a LOT of collar. If all those issues get resolved, and you manage to find one in your size, I think you will have no trouble wearing it everyday and feeling fabulous.

It's available in size 8 right now.

That's a gorgeous coat. I certainly see you rocking that style.
