Review on Warm And Stylish Slim Fit Men'S Trench Coat With Notched Collar, Single Breasted Design, Perfect For Fall And Winter Seasons - PASLTER Pea Coat Overcoat by Flex Morgan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad coat, but you will need some serious patience.

I just moved back East after 12 1/2 years in Southern California. Most of my stuff is still in storage there and naturally the arrival of fall reminded me that I needed to enhance my cold-weather wardrobe from nothing to something. I work for the (state) government, so I'm on a budget and looking for bargains. This coat seemed suspiciously cheap for what the pictures purported it to be but I took a chance, and on October 25, 2020, I purchased it. I mention the date because it arrived today, January 5, 2021. If my math is right for a chance, that's 62 days from purchase to delivery.Now, don't get me wrong. They did say it would take something like a month or more, and I do recognize it was coming from China and there's a global pandemic, etc., etc. I was pretty patient. And pretty cold. But as November gave way to December and the date got pushed back, I started to lose that patience. Then, finally, I was told it would arrive by December 9 at the very latest. December 9 came and went: no coat, and what's more, they removed the "tracking" option from Revain. When Christmas arrived I'd had enough and filed a complaint with the company. I got a badly-written message in the ESOL style asking me to be.patient.and Revain said I couldn't ask for a refund "until it's overdue." Uhhh.isn't a month past the delivery date overdue, Jeff? Anyway.it finally showed up today, January 5, and will probably need dry cleaning to get some of the wrinkles out, but here it is at last.The coat itself? Right, I'm supposed to review that, too. It's a business topcoat of army green, with a green satin lining. There are external pockets but no breast or interior pocket(s), which I consider a drawback, and there is no loop for a hanger, either, which is flat-out annoying. It's not fancy but neither does it look cheap. I ordered it in large, and it is just large enough to fit over a suit jacket, but only barely, so if you're a big guy, by which I mean bigger than me (I'm 5'11", 190 lbs, 42 regular and rather broad in the shoulder), you might want to go XL if you plan to use it as a proper topcoat, i.e. wear it over a suit jacket. Otherwise, guys my size could probably get away with a medium IF they only wear a shirt beneath it. But the large size seems to work for both for yours truly. It's rather thin so about warmth I'm a little dubious, especially if you skip the suit jacket, but it would probably work really well with a heavy turtleneck sweater.So, there it is. I had to wait 62 days, but I finally got it and so far I'm pleased with what I got, especially given the price. I was about 2 days from demanding a refund, and I'm not really happy that they literally disabled the tracking function, but all's possibly well that ends well.

Pros
  • Wool & Blends
Cons
  • The coat may not be suitable for those who prefer brighter colors
