The oversized drape is designed in, so based on the product details your usual size gives the relaxed fit shown. Sizing down tightens the shoulder line, so only do it if you prefer a closer fit.
Yes for everyday cold-weather wear — the fabric is thick and holds heat, and because it breathes you avoid overheating indoors. The roomy cut leaves space for a heavy knit underneath on the coldest days.
No — two buttons close the front at the chest, and below them the coat falls open by design. That open fall keeps the long cut light and easy to move in.
We recommend dry cleaning for the felted wool-blend fabric. Between wears, spot clean, air it out and keep it on a wide hanger so the shoulders hold their shape.
The front panels are clean with no flap pockets visible, and the product details do not confirm in-seam pockets — plan on a shoulder bag for essentials.
