I need advice on this coat. I got the EOD on my Spooky Sale order, and have to cough up extra dough (which I am fine with), but I'm wondering what you all think about this coat??? I have it in my order, for a ridiculously good price, but I mean, I don't want to have to deal with returns etc. At all. What do you guys think? Yea? Nea?
 
I think the coat is gorgeous! And it will definitely come in handy around where you live, IMO. The only hesitation I really have about the jacket is the leather trim. It definitely adds a little more to the jacket, but I wonder how the style will hold up year after year, and having to take care of leather trim...

Otherwise, I love the buttons, the look and the length, and definitely the cuffs. The Franklin coat and the Garcon trench are my favorite two from this collection!
 
I agree with TR, completely. I LOVE It but too worry about upkeep on it. Otherwise it is fabulous. I also agree that the Franklin and Garcon are my two favorites. So I gess I vote yes...I'll go actually vote. :smile:
 
Here's some pics of it.

Gorgeous, classic coat but the leather could be an issue with upkeep -- often when you dryclean a fabric garment with leather trim, there can be issues with the leather. Also, a lot of cleaners won't clean it or send it out to a specialist and it can be expensive, however this is the type of coat that wouldn't need drycleaning all that often so if you love it....go for it, especially if you got a slammin' good deal on it!
 
Thank you all for the advice. I hadn't thought about the upkeep. That leans me towards no. I like easy. Maybe I should just get a Soia and Kyo coat, but I get annoyed with how poorly their buttons are sewn on. I suppose I could just reinforce them. Their coat would likely be around the same price.
