M&S)One impressed individual wrote: "Feels very warm, comfortable and is excellent value. Pockets are also a welcome feature in the winter. I usually take a size 8-10 but found that the size 6 fits perfectly."
Another satisfied customer commented: "This coat is such a bargain. Gorgeous colour and stylish cut which suits my height. Warm and looks good with jeans and dresses. For once the sleeves are not too long for me. Note the pockets are not real, but I think if they were and they had things in them, it would spoil the line of the coat."
Meanwhile, a fifth buyer who gave four stars was less pleased about the delivery packaging, stating: "Lovely coat, great colour. I always get complimented when I wear it. I just needed a long warm coat for winter, and it's perfect. I didn't like the way it arrived without suitable packaging, and the bottom of the coat was creased, like it had just been thrown into the bag."

M&S)On the other hand, one dissatisfied customer left a two-star review, which said: "I have unfortunately returned this coat. A shame, as it's a beautiful colour, I liked the material and it is comfortable, but it just didn't suit me. The cut is spoilt for me by the raglan sleeves, which give a wide profile with too much material around the shoulders. I would prefer a neat set in sleeve."
Another unhappy customer posted a highly detailed review, saying: "I love the colour of this coat, the length, the style with pockets, but unfortunately, after only wearing once, the arms are already bobbling - Which suggests that the material isn't very good quality."
