Mine has just come, the purple cord coat. Much snugger fit than the velvet coat from three years ago, but looks nice. The question is, will it wear better? The velvet wore off the last one, around the button holes, where the button holes rested when I hung it up, and pressure points where I sling my handbag. Now I look like a bag lady in it. I was wearing it when I went to one of their racecourse sales about a year after I bought it, and the staff said I should have sent it back. So this time I'm keeping the receipt, just in case.
