Lovely coat that can be worn for smart or casual..good length, about mid thigh, I'm 5ft 8. The hood is fixed but it's not bulky, normally I would remove the hood but it's fine. Originally ordered a large which thought would be 14/16 but couldn't zip it up so returned it and went for extra large which fits but is snug! Couldn't wear a bulky jumper under it so it is more suitable for warmer days I would think.
