Just won this coat. Was it a good buy at the price? ($265)

UPDATE:
Just got the coat in. It looks like everything is in order and in good condition. I found the tag however and it says on a small silver tag "Made in the U.S.A. ACTWU Amalgamated Clothing & Textile Workers Union". Does that say anything good or bad?

Pretty good buy if you wear it.
I bought a similar Burberry trench from ebay uk (there are plenty for smaller price) and wore it only once. I do not feel comfortable wearing as it's too long and makes me 20 years older. I preffer shorter version from Allegri and Aquascutum. So depends on your age, occupation, etc. The Burberrys from the 90s are still very good quality.
