Conrad Coat

I purchased this coat a while ago at the old price. It is a lovely looking military-style coat, a great colour and immensely practical. For example, you are able to close the coat right up to the top, the pockets are deep, it has two closing buttons and inside a large poacher's (or paper) pocket, which I personally think should be compulsory on any coat that reaches towards knee level or over. It also has closing buttons at the bottom of the rear for the windy days and a useful half-belt. It is very long so be aware when storing or finding a cover for it . In terms of it, it is roomy, so it is up to you whether to size down or not. If I have some grumbles it would be that quite soon after purchasing and only a few wears one of the closing buttons came off and had to be sewn back on, and I feel that it is perhaps a bit on the light side (around 500grammes) when perhaps around 600 grammes would be a good balance for a mid-weight coat (sometimes you do not always want to "layer up"). As I said, I purchased it at the old price, and feel that now it has perhaps become a bit expensive. overall though, it is a very well thought-out and designed coat.
