I'm ready to buy one myself. It seems it's not very warm, but just how thin is it? I'm too lazy/busy to get to the store myself. I'm buying one online with the 30% off

Anyone who just bought the new Banana Republic houndstooth topcoat?

I bought one. Mixed feelings.
Things I like: Nice fabric, good color and pattern, sufficiently warm
The bad. Shoulders seem a little tight although I got the size I wear. The high armholes prohibit anything but a thin sweater. A suit will definitely not fit under this "topcoat"
It almost feels like a long slim blazer than a coat.
Still thinking if I should exchange for a size bigger but then I will have to alter the sleeves (they will be 2 inches too long probably) and the waist would probably need to be taken in... I may post photos for you to judge
What keeps me from returning it altogether is it's a pretty classic-looking piece

I also bought this topcoat... the fabric is beautiful but medium to heavy thickness, will test it out this coming winter. Love the working cuff buttons as well as the contrasting colors in the collar. I am a 40R this coat fits TOO well in the shoulders and chest. I tried this coat in the store and could not fit a blazer underneath it, even BR's tailored suit jackets. the waist part was surprisingly baggy and had to be tailored to give it some shape. I will have the coat back next week from the tailor.
