true to size

The coat is very nice and feels just as good as it looks. The coat is not very true to size but I think it is more the maker and their sizing. Via Spiga tends to run smaller and be cut somewhat smaller in clothing sizes. I assumed the outerwear would be tailored for the weather it conveys. I can wear the coat but not with sweaters or other items that may increase your actual size. So if you plan on wearing anything other than a basic blouse go up a size in the item when considering it for a purchase.More detail ...

Hey Nice Coat!

I was looking for a coat that would not only serve as a nice cold-weather coat but one that I could wear on dressier occasions as well. This coat serves both purposes well. It is very attractive and fits so well. (By the way I ordered a Medium which is a perfect fit for me. I'm a size 6 and I can wear heavy sweaters under the coat.) One item to note is that if you're in Siberia or someplace where the temperatures are consistently low you might want to consider another coat. While I think it's just fine and warm enough for me I live in North Carolina so the temperatures are generally above freezing.More detail ...
