An admission of love for the coat.
The dark moss color is perfect in adding subdued variation. Any bright color would be too feminine and distort the military origin of the coat. The mixture of 35% alpaca with the wool adds both warmth and heft to the coat. Last year’s mixture of cashmere and wool was too light. I usually wear a size medium, but I chose the size small that I calculated as a size 40. Layered with a sweater, the coat fits me perfectly and gives a tailored look the military intended. The size medium would equate to a size 42 and be too baggy. YourDonegal green sweater is the perfect sweater to layer with the coat. I simply love the coat. I must admit I have a preference for alpaca that may bias my review.
