BGSD Women Boucle Wool Belted Belted Walking Coat

Cute jacket, but the buttons fell off after one wear.

The first thing I noticed after opening this package is that the quality of the material and materials design is quite cheap: the strands will easily break, catch and wear with even minimal use. The fiber density is low, the durability of each strand fairly weak, and the weave fairly loose. This is especially apparent if you are a person who works in textiles or with garment construction, even home knitting and weaving. What this makes for is a mid-length coat that drapes more readily on the body- almost more akin to a loose knit which might feel softer like an unsually extra-thick caridgan, but isn't a very practical choice for durable outter wear. In addition, the buttons are very cheap, light and have a dull finish.With a higher fiber count, more durable strands and a tighter weave you get a stiffer jacket that retains more structure and therefore is overall more durable over time. These are usually among features of more high-end coats and something I would have begun to expect to some degree given this price point.However, I feel the aesthetic design and details are very beautiful. A lovely chosen weave as shown in the pic, a soft and creamy almost buttery ivory pink color, and great attention to the design structure. The seams lay flat without puckering, the interior lining stays in place and there are some additional hidden breast pockets on the interior. For me, the proportions of the design are well considered. These details add to the semblance of sophistication that is shown in the picture, as I think the 'cheapness' is not obvious to a causal observer when worn and only more apparent to someone handling the garment. The exterior beauty of the coat in person is enough that I am willing to pay for and keep it.But in all, I would say that this will not serve well as your go-to-everyday coat, as it will quickly wear over time, if not completely snag and unravel with moderate to high usage. If you're looking for a beautiful occasion coat that has elements of sophistication in it's design but don't want to pay a luxury amount, then this may be 'alright'. The price point ($150 with tax) is to me is not entirely unreasonable for what it is, but also not ideal given it's level of overall quality. I think this is one of those coats that people might give a second glance to when hanging on a store rack but probably wouldn't choose to pay for it if they examined it in person, yet after receiving (such as through mail order here) would keep after getting and be somewhat-to-moderately satisfied. So, overall good but not great if that can be measured with some objectivity, but since attire is also a subjective and personal experience, it really depends on what you value and need out of a coat.Side note for small folks: I am quite petite (5ft, 100-105 lbs) with a proportionate frame and have a hard time finding garments that fit me well but this fit beautifully! I purchased the x-small and it is true to size.

The coat looks beautiful and fits well, however the material is a lot to be desired. It was crushed and almost impossible to iron. Even after ironing it held the crushed creases! Returned it.

The coat is cute, keeps warm and fits true to advertised size. Not the best, but it is of decent quality and looks the same as in the pictures. I have only worn this 3-4 times, so not sure of how long this will last or what effect regular use will have on the coat. The only problem was with the shipping of the product, there was no good way to track the item or know an expected ETA and had to reach out to the seller for proper tracking support.

Very sophisticated coat. Fabric is great and coat is very warm. However, the buttons were not aligned, so I fixed it. I cut them off and sewed again. Now I am just enjoying this elegant coat. Goes well with pants and dresses. Love it!

This is a great coat! Warm, flattering, belt with loops very helpful, have bought a few others with no belt loops... weird... sooo soft & cozy looks just like the photo!

Bought this as a gift. It took a while to ship, then another while to arrive, and for some reason went through New Jersey to get to Texas. But the coat is nice. Very warm, comfortable material and looks very nice and stylish. Also there are apparently many more pockets than women are used to, so that's a plus. Fit was true to size (small in this case).

Love the look and feel of this coat. It's very warm, well made and fitting. I ordered small and it fits perfect. My only complaint is that it took a month to arrive because it came from China.
