Hooded Asymmetrical Wool-Alpaca Blend Coat

Web ID: 9025698Just say NO!
I admired this coat for quite awhile, and when it went on sale, I ordered it in the grey. I was already aware that even though it claims to be "alpaca," that only makes up about 4% of the fabric. It arrived today. Something didn't look right about it in the box, but I tried it on anyway. I was wearing a thin, sleeveless top. My gosh, the coat felt like it was three sizes too small! I double checked the tag, which declared that it was a size small. I wear a size 4. So, the sizing is off. But that's not what bothered me the most. The fabric is very weird-looking, not like a high-quality wool, but resembling the texture of a cheap micro-fiber airplane blanket. I appreciate Macy's generous return policy. Incidentally, this is probably the third Cole Haan coat I've had to return, so I will be avoiding this brand in the future.
Beautiful color
The only reason I'm giving it 4 starts is because it's advertised as an Wool-Alpaca item but there is almost no Alpaca material to it. Coat shell 63% Wool, 27% Viscose, 6% Polyester, 4% Alpaca. Runs a bit small. Very nice built, beautiful color, looks gorgeous. The hood is definitely big but that's what makes it unique. Loving it.
Not A Good Fit
The hood was just too big and would not prevent wind blowing under it..
Really Cute!
This coat is a winner! I really like the fit.. it's flattering and it's stylish. I recommend it. My only negative, is that it seems to shed or be a little linty, but this may be due to it being new. I've not worn it yet so we'll see if this becomes a problem, but I really do like it.
