Review on Fashionable And Functional: BGSD Women'S Hooded Faux Shearling Maxi Walking Coat For Ultimate Comfort And Style by Len Chandler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wow what a great coat!

I originally ordered a small because that was all they had in the black, when I normally would have ordered a medium. I wear medium size tops and a size 8 dress. The small did not fit me at all, I could not button it. So I returned it and ordered a medium in the brown. It fits perfectly, except for the length since I am only 5'3". I had it professionally shortened and they did a great job. It is possible to cut it and then turn it up at the bottom to look just the same as before, but shorter. The woman said it was difficult to do, however, because the stitches get lost in the "fur". I could have gotten a black in the medium at that time but decided to go with the brown, so I have seen both colors first hand. Either one is beautiful .It is a really plush material that looks to be far more expensive than it is. I just decided that I did not want the more formal and somber look of the black so went with the brown. There is intricate stitching around the waist and the sleeves that you don't notice until you look very close. This contributes to the nice fit. The buttons and button holes are sturdy. I have only worn the coat twice now and have gotten a compliment on it on the street.The alterations people wanted to know where I got it. I brought in a print out from the Luxury Lane site to show them and showed them that they can order it on Revain. I ordered directly from Luxury Lane the first time with the size small, and from Revain the for the medium. The only thing I would change about the coat is the hood, because it does not close tightly around the neck so tends to blow back off the head, even with a scarf tied around it. But this is not a big deal. A most excellent coat!

Pros
  • The hooded design provides extra warmth and protection
Cons
  • The coat can be difficult to store, taking up a lot of closet space
