The main thing wrong with the coat was it was quite large, a problem with buying clothes online. I had tried on "similar" coats locally, and GUESSED that large would be right. This coat fit more like an extra large that I had tried on. The other thing, almost important, is that I wanted a pea coat, not a pea-coat-style coat. I wanted a coat with the dense Melton fabric of authentic Navy issue. This coat has a softer higher loft fabric. That fabric and the internal bib and knit collar are probably warmer, but not what I wanted. And it was black, the closest I could get to Navy.
The bottom line is I had to return it, mainly for the size, and exchanged it for another brand of "Classic" Navy pea coat, which I have received, and it has all the attributes I wanted, dense Melton fabric, Navy blue, and good fit in a medium.
I would add that, properly sized for a larger person, this is a very nice quality, warm coat, and the black color is close enough to Navy. I would give it a five-star recommendation for that person.
