Gorgeous striking color with striking pattern. Just received today - can't wait for winter. It is medium weight, as another reviewer pointed out, but it will be very warm. (This is not my first alpaca blend poncho/ruana from Alfredo Falcon.)

What can I say? After all the positive reviews of this alpaca-wool blend coat, I was like a kid at Christmas waiting for the package to arrive. I was not disappointed. From the cashmere-like texture to the silken lining and almost bespoke stitching, I was totally enchanted by this coat. The caramel color tends ever so slightly brown (as opposed to yellowish). The satiny lining adds such a touch of elegance, yet I think you could wear this to a sports event or an evening at your towns theater and feel equally at home. As I bring myself to grips with my mature shape (round - thats a shape, right?) I thought the cut and length were very flattering. (Im 52, 145#) The shoulders might be a bit narrow if you carry your weight in your upper body. THANK YOU, Tomas Sota, for this lovely garment. Ill be looking for more additions to my wardrobe.

This is a very fine coat. It is so nice, it even looks great hanging on the hanger! It was a bit wrinkled when it arrived as it was folded into a tiny little bundle.. but it was not nearly as wrinkled as I thought it might be and the wrinkles fell out immediately after hanging. Its so warm and is just as attractive (I think its more so!) as the cashmere overcoat I bought my husband years ago when we were working. With jeans or a dress, its perfect.. and well, alpaca is so wonderfully warm for all that its as light as a feather! I love it!
