I purchased this jacket as a Christmas present for a brother reluctantly entering the professional world. He is not the "pea coat" kind of guy, but that is what is so wonderful about this coat- it can look professional, yet stylish, without the stigma of a wool pea coat. (Personally I think men look great in them- but my brother has other ideas!) It has a quilted lining that is very comfy and warm, with wide, deep pockets on the side. The wool is incredibly soft. There is a great inside breast pocket that is essential for wallets and such. In all, this is an excellent gift for any man- even the one who wouldn't normally be a pea coat man!
