I love this coat! It is soft and cozy, and the emerald green color is a stunner. But other reviewers noted the sleeve tag was almost impossible to remove without damaging the fabric, and wow, they weren’t kidding: the tag is attached with permanent stitching and requires specialized equipment to remove.I am an avid crafter and was able to remove the tag to my satisfaction in this way:First, I used a seam ripper to carefully, carefully slice each stitch open, taking care to not capture the coat fabric in the process.Then, because (despite my extreme care) this distorted the wool/cashmere blend, causing fibers to stretch outward where the corners had been attached:I used a needle felting tool to carefully, carefully needle-felt the stretched fibers, making them contract so that where the tag had been was barely visible.Photos of my process attached. If you are not a crafty type up for a 15-minute challenge, I would strongly recommend planning to visit a seamstress with this coat and having the tag professionally removed.Also I’m happy to say that even though other commenters noted the left pocket wasn’t completed in their coats, all the pockets in the green coat I received are completely sewn, no holes found. Maybe it was a problem specific to certain colors?PS Based on other reviewers’ comments, I sized up to a 10 to ensure it will work with heavy sweaters. An 8 might have been fine with sweaters but the 10 isn’t terribly oversized…. My normal size is a 6 or S/M in most women’s clothing.
