• “Hey Lucie! I received the coat, and it did look great. :) The arms were a bit long though, but i was able to adjust them myself. I also removed the shoulder pads. I felt a bit silly with them in. =) I\'m very happy with it now, and I got it realy fast considering the distance. I guess cold winter in Beijing and sweden doesn\'t mean quite the same thing though. It wasn\'t as thick as I thought it would be. But for me that was a good thing. It means I can wear it in spring and autumn as well. The only thing i missed were an inner pocket. But as I said I\'m very happy with it, and the support concerning the size I got before my order. Several people have asked where I got it, and I\'ve mentioned your site and good prices and delivery so you might get some more orders from around here. :) I hope you\'ll have a nice Christmas Lucie, and thanks for the help previously!„
