Mine is made in the USA with Loro Piana camelhair. UNITE tag in one pocket.

The fit is roomy, but I was looking for that in a Polo. The fit through the shoulders seems right for my jacket size.

Unfortunately, I didnt look to see where it was made. It was Golden Fleece with a Loro Piana cloth tag on the inside. I believe there is currently a winter sale, so the coats were 25% off. I dont think that gets you to $600 though.

Bought one last season in my normal size and it was enormous, had to return it.

So when I was looking at the coats, this guy sidles up to me and says "That's a great looking coat. I used to have one in black but I don't see any here." I reply "Camel hair is the classic, but you can still find them in black if you look around various places."
He points to the coat and says "That's what's classic now?" Yup, decided it last week.
