I dont mean to be rude but since you asked opinions... I clicked the link saw the coat and my brain instantly thought 'Gru' from despicable me.

You totally did need to be rude otherwise you would have kept it to yourself!

I think it's a gorgeous looking coat. I was tempted myself but the pockets turned me off - top loader rather than side loader and the coat looks really awkward if you put your hands in them. It's a minor gripe but for a me a deal breaker.
It's a gorgeous classic coat though, one of their best sellers for many years and going nowhere. The long version is nice too.

Except the thread is LITERALLY called... What do YOU think?

That was literally my first thought, not even based on my personal taste or bias, just a basic parallel my brain pulled within millisecond of seeing the picture and linking it to a famous character costume.

People shouldn't ask if they don't want an honest answer.

It's lovely.

I can only imagine what a mess my white cat would make of that 😂

OMG not what I expected this post to be about 😂

You HAVE to get it deleted. It only takes one person to watch the meeting and tell everyone else.

I agree
Hate those pockets and will need to buy nice leather gloves to wear with this coat because of the pockets

Love it. Bought similar from Reiss a few years back and have worn and worn and worn it but it still looks immaculate.

Update

The coat is really beautiful and well made, the fabric is divine and it feels very chic however...
Size 10 was not the right size - the cuffs were slightly longer and the shoulders were not perfect placed so it looked like I borrowed someone else's coat.

Also that model must be super tall because at 5'5 the coat was just on top of my knee which it was not a problem but looked very different than in the pic.

And finally the pocket would annoy me so much as I much prefer side pockets where I can properly put my hands in, so for that price, if it is not a 10/10 I can't justify I'm afraid.

Back to JL it goes and the search continues.
