I liked the style of the coat but it's going back for a couple of reasons:
1. It's too small, especially in the shoulders. I would exchange for a MP if it wasn't for issue #2.
2. During NAS, it was originally described as being a wool blend. It's not. It's pretty lightweight and unlined. I think it's a little too lightweight for me to get much use living in Minnesota. I think it would be a great coat for someone who wants something lightweight and packable though.
I found this coat instead that reminds me somewhat of the Cole Haan coat. It's a 3-in-1 coat and is waterproof instead of just water resistant. I'm really happy with this one and think this one will work better for the climate at home and for Europe in December. Now I just need to decide on shoes for the trip.
