Can't wait for Winter,
September 20, 2012
By: Ivyrose
from Norwich
"This woollen swing coat was exactly as the brochure. Really good fit and not too long for the shorter person. Sure it will be really warm when the temperature drops and looks good with formal and informal clothes,"

Would be 5 Stars Except...,
January 23, 2013
By: BeJeans
from Near DC
"Love: warm but lighter weight so I don't feel bogged down; somewhat wind proof; great style, washable.
Don't like: like other Orvis items, sizing can be off. I bought this coat a few years ago and wanted a new one. They were a full size off. (I have purchased two identical items in different colors and the sizing has been a size off - with the smaller tagged item actually being the larger one.) Quality control needs to be improved."

Great Coat,
January 18, 2013
By: Stone1953
from Houston, TX
"I bought this coat for my wife, she had told me she would like a faux lambswool coat. I found this coat at Orvis and bought it for her. She absolutely loves this coat. She has commented several times to me on this coat, specifically on the way it wears and looks. She really likes the way you can wear it as a dress coat or simply with a pair of jeans. She mentioned everywhere she goes she gets compliments and on several occasions has been asked where she got it, to which she told them Orvis. Thanks Orvis for another great product!"

fun coat,
January 6, 2013

"This is definitely a "fun" coat - great with jeans and boots. Would have liked bigger pockets (gloves just barely fit in the pockets) but all in all it is a very nice, cuddly, well made coat."

"I wanted to love this coat but, sadly, it looked just okay. I ended up exchanging it for a beautiful red coat that looked much more attractive on me."

Not faux lamb,
December 30, 2012
By: Youarekidding
from Bellevue, WA
"I returned this item. It did not look like lamb but it looked like a fleece jacket. Orvis had a faux lamb jacket a few years ago that was very good. I liked the styling of this one better but the fabric was not faux lamb but fleece like the jippered fleece jackets. Very disappointed!"

I love it,

By: RoanKate
from St. Paul, MN
"I live in Minnesota so there are many winter days when this coat is not warm enough. However, when the temperatures are in the 20s to 40s, it's perfect. I love the fit and have gotten several compliments on it. I't just a very fun coat!"

Not for grey haired grandmas,
December 29, 2012
By: Idahoan
from Idaho
"This is a beautiful coat I have been admiring. I ordered it. The fit and quality were very good. I returned it because I felt it would be better for a brunette or redhead. I lack the color to wear it well. I returned the coat."

"The quality is fine, an the fit was not bad, but it was not quite for me. I swam in it, and possibly I am too short?"

Love it,
December 8, 2012
By: KittehDriver
from The Buckeye State
"I loved this coat when I first saw it. It reminded me of a coat I had when I was much younger. I would normally avoid a winter coat that is this light colored, but this one is washable. The style is flattering and comfortable. I can easily wear a thick sweater under this coat if need be. And again, the color goes with everything."

Versatility Plus,
December 2, 2012
By: scarletohaira
from Seattle, Washington
"I was looking for a travel coat that was stylish, warm and not too bulky.
The cut of the coat allows for layering in colder temperatures. Definitely a plus! The neutral color makes it easy to accessorize for casual or more dressy occasions. Amazing what a colorful scarf or hat can do!
One concern I had was the light color and showing dirty areas. I sprayed the coat with Scotch guard, which, so far has helped.
I am pleased with the coat as it is flattering and fun to wear.

Best Coat Ever,

"I've been looking for the right swing coats for years. This one runs a little big so a medium was fine. Looks and feels great on. Would highly recommend this product."

Cozy Comfort,
October 8, 2012
By: capparelli
from Philadelphia, PA
"This jacket is cozy and comfortable. Lightweight yet warm, it's like wearing a cloud. The silhouette has a retro feel, and the proportion works on my 5-foot frame. The cuffs turn up to accommodate shorter arms, too. There is enough room in the fit to layering on extremely cold days. To me, this jacket could be called the "comfort food" of outerwear, because there is something really satisfying about wearing it. I really like it."

By: WatercolorPainter
from Central New York
"This jacket is very cuddly warm and chic at the same time. The fit is roomy, so a Medium is perfect for a size 10. Sleeves are cuffable, so great for those of us with long arms. It looks great with slacks and skirts. I am anxiously anticipatiing winter weather!"

LOVE this coat!!,
December 30, 2011
By: CaseyKayak
"I was looking for a 50's type swing coat, and this one fits the bill!! It's comfortable, extremely warm, and with a pin or a scarf, this can look very dressy or just casual. Absolutely everyone commented on it the first time I wore it to work. Shipping was fast and well boxed. Fit was perfect."

"This jacket surpassed my expectations! It's so soft and cuddly.
Nicely lined, too, so I'll be able to wear it during all but the coldest days of winter. I especially appreciate that it's washable - a huge plus because of the light color.
"
