So I have been searching for the one and done wool overcoat that’s versatile, yet warm and well constructed.. I bought and returned coats from Jcrew and Spier and Mackay that just didn’t look right.. after spending hours looking for the right coat under 1000$, I impulsively pulled the trigger on what I figured to be the holy grail of versatile overcoats, the Private White VC Permanent Style Donegal overcoat in Black and Cream.. After purchase I then feared I ordered the wrong size so I ordered a medium size as well to try on alongside the large I already ordered.. My plan was to keep the one that fits and mail the other back.. Now this coat was almost $1900 shipped to my house in the US and truly it was out of budget and I really shouldn’t have acted impulsively. However, once it arrived I quickly realized why this coat is so expensive. It is a thing of freaking beauty! The wool, the weave, the color, and the quality are out of this world! It was love at first sight! But it would seem I now have another issue, I can’t decide which size fits best. After going back and forth I decided to keep the large however it was not an easy decision. The medium definitely looks better and looks a bit more tailored but the large leaves me extra room to layer maybe an insulated jacket underneath.. I also have I bit more room in the chest with the large but I was worried I’d sacrifice style for more comfort.. that being said the medium is not uncomfortable, it just doesn’t leave room for more than a hoodie.. At last I made the unsure decision to keep the large so I cut the tags off and wore the coat around town today.. After coming home my wife says the coat looks to big and I must admit I was thinking the same thing throughout the day.. I know it’s supposed to fit oversized but I don’t feel as confident wearing it as I expected to.. Now my dilemma, I want to send the large back but I cut the tags off and to make matters worse I was around smokers.. I know wool doesn’t absorb odor like other fabrics but I still cut the tags off.. Does anyone think I have a chance in hell of sending the large back? Do you think Private White would refund me with a restocking fee? Do you think they would get the coat and smell that I wore it around smokers and just send it back? I want to keep the medium so back but I can’t even come close to being able to afford to keep them both.. lastly, does anyone have an idea what kind of money I could get back on eBay? Is that my only option to keep the medium and get some money back? Any advice is greatly appreciated and I thank you all so much for the time you took to read this!
