I bought it too! I'm skeptical that I'll like the fit enough to keep it, but it's well worth the risk for the price.

^Blog is called Die, Workwear.

I tried the coat on in store and then bought it with my phone since the sale was online only. I took a medium and the fit was great for me (40R).
Thank you! Yes he has been very helpful with another interesting discussion we are having regarding safari jackets, field coats, tailoring and RTW ....

For those of you wondering about the abercrombie coat -- I handled it in store today. Fits TTS/classic, I took a S and I'm usually between S and M, the M could have probably worked for me as well but the sleeves were a bit wide for my liking.

The colour is nice in person but the fabric is thin and construction feels poor, as to be expected from a fast fashion brand. @UrbanComposition tweeted that the wool is from abraham moon since it shares the same fabric with one of his moon jackets

Definitely light weight and not recommended for super cold weather
