Would love to hear your thoughts when you get it. Looks like a great alternative!I love the look but unsure if I can pull it off without making an almost $4000 investment.
As a result, I got the 100% wool Yves Salomon teddy which I hope looks good! I debated between it and brands like Aritizia (20ish % wool), but I’m hoping Yves, with its fur and coat expertise, will create a kick ass one!
Side note, Yves coats come in XXS in Teddys for all you petite ladies. I got a XS because I was worried XXS would have very short sleeves.

I bought it in the xsmall at Nordstroms went to the Max Mara store they did carry xsmall there but did not have in it in the color I wanted...but never saw it in the xxsmalll
IT IS AMAZING! I ordered a FR34 and have FR32 coming so I can compare and return one. I love that it looks oversized without looking ridiculously big. I wear S in tops and mostly 1 in Moncler.
If there wasn’t a 32, I would’ve been content with the 34. But now I can really compare.
I would personally recommend getting Brunello Cucinelli's interpretation of the teddy coat because the cut is absolutely superb. Max Mara's 1x2 front button stance looks very dated and the excessively side lapels is not a flattering design. In my opinion, it is not so much whether something's in or out, but the garment should look elegant and cut well to the body so it flatters you - that should be the most important factor, along with the quality of the material used.
I adore the brunello cuchinelli version (love brunello design and quality)! But sadly, (I’m short, asian and medium build), I somehow looked like a burly animal in the coat (DH who adores brunello and loves to shop burst out laughing, and my SA didn’t like it on me either. . . Would love to see an action pic of someone who can rock it successfully!
Cucinelli has a few versions, shearling, castorino/beaver (very hard to find), and alpaca & wool. Do you recall which version you tried? I have an alpaca & wool, but it's not oversized (however most alpaca & wool coats from BC are oversized) and not really in the style of a cocoon coat, so my pics won't be too relevant unfortunately in this case
Has anyone had problem with you max mara teddy coat staying button...mine keeps unbottoning
I purchased mine from Ssense. My friend also purchased one from Ssense and the button is very loose on her jacket as well.
