Thanks again all. To all my cold weather friends. It was around 35 degrees when I wore it last and I was very very warm. And thats without a liner. The best feature is that it holds off the wind when buttoned up. I will not hesitate to try this again with a different color wool dress coat! Again, if I can get off my behind I will post better pics of the front and the back so you can see the split in the back. I think everyone should give it a try. If I can do it...
