Thanks, Ceit and Suz!

Ramya, fingerless mittens are only good as long as the temperatures are above freezing point. I have ordinary mittens and gloves, too!

I think the fit is really nice. However, I am a bit unsure on the color against your hair and skin tone. It is almost too monochromatic. I would love to put you on a blue or magenta wool coat. I think it is a really nice coat overall, however, it is not a 10 for me. I think I am in the minority, however. So take it with a huge grain of salt.

Thanks for the extra photos, Ingunn!

I still have the same impression - killer fit and style, but the colour is not ideal. As soon as you add the scarf - a flattering colour against your complexion - the coat colour looks so much better to my eye.

Zap and Angie, you are wise, experienced and always make convincing decisions about style and color. Thank you for being honest. However, the coat will stay with me, because although I can see what you mean, I find the color flattering enough for my purpose with the coat. Besides, I will always be wearing it with a scarf - which I naturally will choose in colors that suit me. I like the idea of a different colored, coat, too, and might very well be on the lookout for something a bit more casual in a strong color, maybe purple or blue. This one, however, will become my basic dressy coat for the next cold seasons.

My family members are very enthusiastic about the coat, all four of them, and they are going to see it pretty often, so that counts:)

I was gong to suggest that you keep the coat too, Ingunn. I voted yay! The colour isn't bad - and it's very much enhanced with a scarf. Win-win in my book.
