Questions people ask before they buy
I’ve ordered coats online that turned up looking like a costume. How is this one different?
Fair — that is usually a thin shell and a flat collar that will not stand up. This one has a collar with body, a four-button placket that sits flat, and a plaid lining that runs through the body and the sleeves. Turn a cuff back and you can see it. And if you disagree when it lands, you have thirty days.
Is a cropped coat going to work on me?
Cropped is the forgiving one. It stops at the hip, so it leaves your leg line intact — a long coat is what shortens you. It also means it sits above whatever you are wearing instead of fighting it.
Is it warm enough?
It is a fall coat, not a winter one. On its own it carries roughly 50–65°F; over a knit it goes lower. For deep winter it works as the layer under a bigger coat, not instead of one.
Is it waterproof?
No, and we won’t pretend otherwise. It handles a drizzle and dries fast, but it is a twill-look coat, not a raincoat. If you need to stand in real rain, take something else.
What size should I take?
True to size, cut with room to layer a sweater underneath: S fits a US 4–6, M an 8–10, L a 12, XL a 14–16. If you are between sizes and plan to wear it over chunky knits, take the larger one. “What’s my size?” above the button has the full chart, and finds your size from your height and weight.
What is the lining?
A brown and cream plaid, through the body and the sleeves. It shows when you turn the cuffs back and down the inside of the placket — it is the detail that does most of the work.
How do I clean it?
Spot clean, and do not tumble dry. The fabric is 100% polyester, so it holds its shape and its color as long as it stays out of the dryer.
Can I return or exchange it?
Yes — thirty days from the day it lands on your doorstep. Anything damaged or defective is replaced or refunded in full, and we won’t ask you to ship it back.
