I absolutely love this coat it is super thick and keeps me warm. I usually wash all my items before I wear them, but I noticed the tag said dry clean only. But I decided to take a chance and put it in the washer, and I let it air dry and it came out looking the same. This coat is pretty expensive, and I do believe they could lower the price a little. But I love it and I'm never letting go of this coat. I will have this for many many years to come.
