I got this great coat because I wanted a big, blue fur coat to keep me warm at outdoor events. This is a really great coat, and I hope maybe I can answer some questions you might have (or ones I had).

1. It smells mildly and yes, it's from China. You're paying $140 for a long fur coat, don't be grumbly or surprised. I'm sure airing it out will solve that.

2. DO order 2 sizes up from your normal size. I'm 5'3", 140 with 38-31-43 measurements. I normally wear a size L or a 10-12 in jeans. I got a 2XL. This coat fits well enough to wear a bulky sweater and jeans under it. There's also enough room to close it and sit. It measures 16" from top of shoulder to top of shoulder, 24" from top of shoulder to cuff, and 39" from top of shoulder to hem.

3. It'll never be big and poofy like the vendor's photos. It just can't have that "chinchilla poof" that they show, the fibers aren't fine enough. BUT, it is a nice coat and maybe shaking it and blowing it with air or cool hair dryer will help. It comes in a vacuum bag so it's a bit squashed when you take it out (like in my photos).

4. There are 1.5" PVC stips between each 5" of fur. That's to give it the lined or "step" look. So yes, you can see the strips if you move the fur, but if you move it back, the fur is 1.5" long and it covers the strips pretty well. Note that the blue of the strips (and inside of the coat where the hook and eye closure is) doesn't *quite* match, but again, it's really not a problem unless you go looking for it.

5. The pockets are slash type and they're on the side seams, which feel a little awkward to me (I guess I think they should be more forward or something) but eh, it's pockets. There are no inner pockets however (whyyyy??) so I guess I'll have to add some myself.

6. Closures - it is eye and hook and it takes a bit of time and patience to get it closed. I think I'll have plastic buckles on web straps added inside to make it quicker to close and a little more adjustable. The hooks and eyes aren't really lined up very precisely either, and when you sit some hooks want to unhook.

7. This coat is heavy and warm. It weighs a little over 5 lbs. So break out the wooden hangers for this coat.

This is a really lovely color and for the price you can't beat it.

I really love the way the coat feel and fit. I got a 4X and I'm 4'11 175lbs. I hate hate hate the way it smells. It's a fishy smell and I'm not sure how I'm going to get rid of the smell. I don't want to wear it until that smell is gone. I really don't want to send it back so I'm going to try and figure out something.

For reference: I'm a size 18, 42" bust, 38" waist, 44" hip. I bought this coat in a 7XL, and it fit perfectly!
This brilliant blue fur coat was worth every single penny! It was a head turner! Every other person was stopping me just to compliment me on this coat!
I wore it in NYC In 30-degree weather with nothing but a thin cotton dress under it. This coat was so warm, I was soaked with sweat!
While the shedding made it hard to wear black clothes, it was worth it because the coat was just that fabulous. I also wore a belt with it to cinch the waist a bit because the coat was that fluffy.
I want to give this coat all 5 stars because that's how it looked and made me feel, but I can't because the closures were flimsy, they eventually all popped out, and I'll need to get them all replaced.
Besides that, though, I would highly recommend getting it. None of the few people I told I got it on Amazon for under $200 believed me!

I love the vibrant color. I love that it is well made and I love that. It looks exactly like it does on Amazon photo.
It runs smaller so it's just not true to size, but I like it enough that I will exchange it for a larger size. I highly recommend this. The hood is big and beautiful and fluffy. 💕
