I have had this coat for about a year now and figured I would write a quick review. I'll break down this review into 2 parts, customer service/purchase experience and the item itself. First, the customer service is excellent. They helped me figure out which size I should order without giving me any trouble. That combined with the size charts online made figuring out the correct size very easy. Delivery was quick and it arrived in a few days. The coat itself is very nice. The color is excellent and pairs with almost anything, the weight of the wool is great, the herringbone pattern is tightly stitched, and the buttons are real horn which is a nice addition on a coat at this price point. I've worn this on some pretty cold and windy days in NYC and this coat kept me quite comfortable except on the coldest of days. Overall, quality is great for the price. I was not expecting this to outperform a $1000+ coat, but it does punch slightly above its weight class. My biggest gripe with this coat and what prevents me from giving 5 stars is the collar. The collar is EXTREMELY floppy and WILL NOT stay up despite what the product photos might suggest. For a winter coat of this style that is designed to block wind and the elements, that is a major design flaw. The collar may as well not be there, it is not functional AT ALL. If they do not want to fix the collar design, they should at least consider adding a throat latch to force it to stay up.

Most coats force you to choose between a sharp look or comfortable movement. Annual Ring solved this by combining a Set-in front (for that tailored, sharp shoulder) with a Raglan back (for effortless arm movement). This 'Split Shoulder' construction is a rare tailoring masterpiece we revived from 1900s archives.

The team at Olderbest were prompt in reply and very helpful with sizing. The coat is beautifully made, sturdy with a soft lining and great details. A worthy Balmacaan at a comparatively affordable price.

Really happy with the coat. I'm 5 feet and 10 inches, 170 lbs., and purchased the XXL. The XL would have fit a little more slim, but I wanted a looser fit, so the XXL works perfect for me. It's great material, very warm, and I get showered with compliments every time I wear it out. This was my first purchase from Olderbest, but it won't be my last.
