Hi,

Bought this sports coat from tj maxx for 100$. Good? Bad? Ugly? Versatile?

The fit is good in the body, sleeves needs to be shortened. 100% wool outer shell and 100% cotton body lining. Very warm and could be worn as a big sweater, and a jacket on cold fall days. Keep or return?

Yeah, kind of my thought, fits alright, but definitely not worth the price for it to fit just "alright." Next question...
QUOTE] yup. love my version of this coat as well. wish it was lined in cupro instead of cotton (too much resistance when wearing certain tops) but other than than its great! can sleeves of coats be relined with cupro if i so choose

yes to Siki jacket. The wool is super heavy and warm, and that collar looks really cool when it's closed. I think it looks better in person than it does on that site and the price is really good.

I only know a handful of Yiddish terms. :(

Coincidentally, my Hebrew used to be really good; but I'd much rather know Arabic at this point anyhow.
