I passed on it after watching the video. I never have been a fan of double breasted styles, and I just don't think it is long enough to provide any real warmth in colder weather. I'll just sit down and have a "date" with the de-piller and my button front black Linea walker coat from a few seasons back. It is definitely warm.

Yes Favorire Son-agree with your observation. It is too short. I'm still on the hunt for a fab winter coat.
Great jacket for warmer climates. It's too short for some of us.

Wouldn't invective posts demand a call to corporate? Or does that only work one way? I actually haven't spent much time on the long LR threads...because what is left to say but good luck with your future career choice? I am assuming it is not all giggles over yonder. Re LDO....or any other real designer...not everything works for everybody...or every 'body'. Thank goodness I don't adore everything LDO offers...I would need a different life and a way bigger closet.

I originally ordered the black but when Louis said it's not a true black, more like graphite, I changed it to the red. I don't need any more red outerwear but couldn't resist that gorgeous color. The back of the jacket is beautiful. I am still considering the black but will see how the red looks, and fits, before going for another color. I have the lined cotton swing jacket in every color...that's how much I love it...and I am hoping this is another winner.

I LOVE that lined cotton swing jacket too! I have it in 3 colors--black, white & Limoges blue--but have been pining for the yellow for a very long time--I should really pick that color up before it's gone for good. LOVE the swing style, it's instant chic!

I got the brick red boucle also{#emotions_dlg.tt1}

My swing coat just arrived and the quality and fit are impeccable. I got a medium which is my usual Linea size and almost sized up and I'm glad I did not. The fit is perfect and relaxed and I can easily wear a sweater under it. It is also very warm, this will definitely keep you warm in the cold months. I also did not find this short, although I am a short. I'm 5.1" and it comes almost halfway down my thighs.

IT'S HERE!!!!!!!

I originally wanted to order in multiple colors, but after reading some comments, I decided to order just one (black). I love it and am now returning for another color while my size is still available. I'm 5'8" and it covers my bottom, so I don't think it's too short at all. The buttons, the seams, the lining--just the overall quality--are exactly what you would expect from this line.

Glad it isn't too short on you. Enjoy wearing it. It would be too short for me as I am plus sized and tall.
