This coat is fantastic! Yes, the wool is thick - thankfully. The quality of the build is amazing and a great value for money. The coat oozes quality and craftsmanship. This coat will easily last a lifetime.
About sizes: I entered my measurements (44 chest, 185 pounds and 5’8”). The online sizing guide recommend a 46 although, after an email to customer service and a (prompt) response, she recommended I get a size 44. That was fantastic advice. If your of a similar build as me (athletic) but skinnier, go with a 42. Based off my measurements, the 44 was perfect. Sleeve length, shoulder, chest and waist is perfect although the “wings” have a bit of extra fabric but would work well with a thicker layer underneath.
