Freaking Awesome Coat!!!

Ok, so I live in the Indiana/Chicagoland area and have a HARD time finding coats that are nice looking, functional, and warm for the crazy weather we have. This coat is perfect. The pic on this site makes this coat look slightly unattractive and I originally passed it over. If you want a good realistic pic look it up on the REI website and it may sway your vote to a yes as it did with me. I bought the Brownie and it is a very attractive color. It does run small, I can surely attest to that. I usually wear a small (I am 5'7" 126 lbs, broad shoulders for a woman) in North Face fleeces and I bought a Medium in this coat thanks to the reviews. It fits perfect with still enough room for a sweater but I doubt you will need it :) The length is great, it comes down to my knees and I love that the hood is fully attached. I hate flimsy zip-on hoods, they never work as well as they should. There are enough pockets to put things in if you are just running to the store real quick. The shape of the jacket is feminine which is a nice change from the normal boxy, poofy, unattractive winter coat. All around I am so extremely happy with this coat, I can't wait until it snows! :D
