Sophia Wool Blend Coat

What a wonderful surprise that jacquet was. I had never heard of the brand before but was looking for a simple navy overcoat with high wool content. I stumbled on this one and decided to try it. I sized down as other reviewers suggested and I don’t regret it. The wool is super soft, reminded me of the Slade jacket by rag&Bone. The design was spot on. Very trendy but also traditional and the color is a dark delicious navy. I would buy it in other colors but the colors available are not my thing … I hope this model is one that repeats every year. I’d love a long navy coat in this color and material.

I fell in love with this coat the moment I saw it. I looked at the size chart ("true to size"!!) well, I've been burned by Alex Mill's size charts before, so even though I am an exact size 8 (M), I ordered the medium and the small. The small was absolutely huge on me, so I didn't even bother to unwrap the medium. Fortunately, I had time to order the extra small. It fits probably as intended, which is oversized, but I think it will be fine. The sleeves are pretty wide, so I didn't have any problems putting the coat on over a sweater. I really like the high neck, but I like that the collar can be folded down into a v-neck, too. I live in a warm climate, but I think this will be very chic for travel. For reference, I am 5'4, 135lbs.
