Caban en laine Merchant Store

Belle tenue, bonne qualité

One previous reviewer claims the pockets are fake as they are sewn up. This is NOT the case. The pockets are simply sewn (up like most suite jackets) for the purposes of keeping the condition as nice as possible while the jacket is new and is in store and potentially being tried on multiple times. You just have to unpick the stitching carefully with small scissors or better still a seam ripper, and hey presto, you have 2 nice corduroy lined pockets to put your hands in. The jacket is lovely, and I bought both blue and green. The blue one in large fitted me straight away, but I did have to try a few green jackets before I found the green large one that fitted me like the blue one. I found slight variations in arm length or size across the shoulders, and the initial green one that turned up was too long in the arms. It also had one pocket where the corduroy lining was twisted inside. Please note also that the buttons are not well sewn on and will likely fall off very quickly. This is easy to fix however, and I am now sewing them on properly. Come on Superdry! This is easy to fix at your factory! Overall, the jacket is lovely. I just had to stick with it to find a good one. It hangs nicely, has silky lining that makes it a joy to put on and take off and i would wear on more mild winter days (rather than very cold days) with a sweater underneath.

Great quality

It could have been warmer and more snug

Coat felt great, material and quality were lovely. The only reason I returned it, was that on a big winter pea coat, you want to put your hands in the pockets. Why would you sew them up (fake pockets). The only reason I can think, is to keep a trim line to the figure, which would never happen with this kind of coat. Everyone loves pockets. Tell a woman that your wedding dress had pockets and I 100% guarantee, the first thing she will say is “That is F@#king genius.
