Is it fully waterproof or just water-resistant?

Jemima describes it as a waterproof coat, so it is meant to shed rain rather than only resist light showers. Seams and the fabric's coating are what decide real-world performance, and the brushed finish is less breathable than a technical shell.

How warm is it for winter?

The brushed melange fabric is designed to seal in warmth, so it works for cold mornings over a sweater. It is a shell-style coat, not a padded one, so very low temperatures call for a mid-layer.

What length is the longline cut?

It falls well below the hip toward the knee, which is what keeps more of you dry in wind-driven rain. Expect the extra length to feel heavier and to limit stride slightly.

Does it run true to size?

There is no fit guidance beyond the belted, tailored cut, so check the measurements against a coat you already own. The belt lets you cinch the waist, but the shoulders and sleeves decide the fit.

How should I care for the brushed fabric?

Follow the care label; brushed melange fabrics generally want a gentle wash and air drying to keep their soft hand. Avoid hot irons and harsh detergents that flatten the nap.
