As soon as I saw 100% wool, I was like Yeah. That's a fair price point. People don't understand the value of clothing. Real bummed about it being not fully lined, otherwise I'd buy in a heartbeat.
@@bibsbeezASMR it's less insulated further down the coat. Which is why she said it's just a wool coat and not a trench. A trench should be lined all the way down.
@@bibsbeezASMROften in tailoring we only half line a garment so you can see the craftsmanship and the seam details. It's just down to preference:) however a garment will always be somewhat lined around the collar and front so that when you open the jacket it looks neat and finished but the back may be left unlined.
I personally love half lined coats. They feel lighter and more pliable and I feel like I can layer clothes underneath without feeling uncomfortable or looking frumpy.
Thank you for educating us. We say no fast fashion for ethical reasons but are not educated on what is considered "good quality". This is great guidance for mindful shopping for clothrs.
I’m not a seamstress but I grew up in Italy and that’s bare minimum to my uneducated eyes too, thank for confirming it. And that wool would never be used for a Max Mara coat. Not every wool is great wool, just as for cotton.
I'm a tailor and I do alterations on stuff like this every day: even if the outside is okay (exactly as you said, bare minimum), the inside is usually absolute trash.
It’s only when I see things like my mother in laws clothing that I remember what good clothing even looks like. You can barely find it anywhere even in high end brands like this one.
at least the half lining is in the area that is very difficult to line yourself aftermarket. Half lining from the waist down is so much easier so its annoying but easily remedied.
the lower part is supposed to go with the "breeze" of the wind to flow out exposing the un-lined part. i think that was the logic for this design. im not protecting the one from the other. just trying to say what their logic was
@@genshinF2Play there is a way to line the coat and keep a “flowy” vent. You just have to design and cut the lining fabric accordingly. I’m thinking this is more of cost and time issue than a aesthetic one.
A half lined coat isn't necessarily bad and like she said they at least binded the seams which does take time to do and elevates the finishing, plus seam binding helps to protect the edges on the seam and looks nicer than just serging. Fully lining clothing is only a "modern" sewing technique as people use to wear a slip or a shift under their clothes to protect the fashion fabric from the body.
@@serenadingstarz very compelling argument but she is talking about how she prefers a lined coat… she knows that she doesn’t like an unlined coat so she doesn’t buy one… she knows what she likes so she knows what she’s talking about.
The half lining is an interesting touch bc trench coats are traditionally only half lined (bc they were mean to be worn over outer jacket and it reduced the friction between wools)
For the buttons, I always check that there’s a small button sewn on the inside of each outside button, so the stress on the buttons is not on the fabric, but spread out over the inside button.
I’m not paying $400 for that…let’s wait until it goes on sale. Probably made for $30 in India. I looked it up it’s manufactured in Vietnam, China and Cambodia. But they use recycled material so that’s a plus.
It’s 100% wool!! Wool is the best insulator for us. Only the parts touching you need to be lined or you’ll look frumpy if you layer - the seams are beautifully finished inside too. This is an absolute smash. Durable, warm, stylish, comfy and versatile Plus the rest of the lining is REALLY easy to add in, even by hand. Straight lines.
These videos are fascinating! I’ve been wanting to transition to buying sustainable close, but I don’t know where to start. Your videos are definitely going to help
If you consider how it’s not a complete ripoff like everything else these days sure it’s worth $400 but if you compare it to some past high end stuff that was custom tailored from like the 60-70s it’s absolutely not worth it. Prices have gone up but overall quality of pros has gone down. At $400+ there’s no excuse as to why that isn’t fully lined.
Finally. My first good review. New to the channel and up till now was just seeing crappy workmanship reviews. Happy someone cares about their product. 😊
It’s a big name brand. It absolutely doesn’t. Why are people so obsessed with brands? Why can’t they get a quality coat made at a local seamstress? They mass produce and underpay their employees.
Could you post a video when you find a classic piece of clothing that is “approved” by you? I would love to build a capsule wardrobe with quality pieces and would trust your recommendations 💜 thank you for calling these companies out - hopefully they start to feel the pressure and do better! Aritzia for example has been down hill for so long now..
There is s good page called the jacket maker. For 400 you can get some nice leather jacket tailored to you. But I'm glad some big company is doing something with quality.
Ad a pear shaped girl, I am not a big fan of fully lined coats because it sometimes ruins the silouette. I prefer the way half lined coats fall on my body.
Just purchased the connor wool coat from Aritzia and its exquisite. Nicest coat i own by far. Purchased a more expensive coat from Rudsak last year, and there's no comparison. Aritzia wins hands down.
Surprising final answer, seems odd for them to go to all that trouble only to half-line it, because most people probably aren't inspecting all of those details that you mentioned that closely, but they will immediately open the coat and see that it kind of looks half-finished
A good wool coat is, as far as im concerned, worth it's weight in gold. I have a mohair coat inherited from my father... who inherited it from *his* father. It's at least fifty years old and you can't tell at all from the shell. I do need to get the lining fixed, and the pockets, and probably the buttons before one falls of by itself, but they're all relatively easy fixes or so says the local tailor, and I'd be shocked if after so long none of that was true. The coat itself is basically in perfect condition. Invest in your wardrobe, be discerning, treat it well (eg, coat drycleaned before it's put away for the summer, every year) and it will last you.
Which you will have to replace every year or more because it will look like crap very quickly. Everything I've bought at TJ Maxx is pure crap! Think about it in price per wear. That is, if you actually care about how you present yourself to the world.
@MelanieHarmon-lw3tq Please keep in mind that some of us can barely afford food and rent; we don't have $400 to blow on a coat. It is possible to find nice clothes for a much better price. You can still be presentable without spending hundreds of dollars on a single item. Even if I had the kind of money to buy name brand clothing, I would still gladly shop at Goodwill and go to yard sales.
@@MelanieHarmon-lw3tqyou have to know what to buy at Marshall’s and tj max: the rag& bone chino I got there list on line $295 got at Marshall’s $59.they will last life time. The cotton 100% polo hoodies by Ralph Lauren life time wear.
@@MelanieHarmon-lw3tq”that is, if you care how you present yourself to the world” over $400 compared to $25 clothing is craaaazy. you are so rude and insensitive to other people’s financial situations and need to take multiple seats.
Half lining would help with overheating i suppose but for a coat it just doesn't make sense especially for wool. I wonder their thought process on this.
That trenchcoat is still made for quite cheap. Around 70% still goes to the brandname/business (correct me if I'm wrong, this is what I've read in an artical). So that trenchcoat is around $160 worth, which is still too expensive. So no, I would not buy this for $400
Thank you for exposing trash vs treasure. So much of what is manufactured for women is overpriced and junk! It's not as bad for men's garments. Men look at the price first, then decide to look at the garment. It's common to hear, "I'm not paying that much for a shirt, pair of pants, socks, etc." before examining the garment. I researched marketing for a paper on men versus women in mid-level retail stores. The differences were apparent for the average buyer. I was shocked at how many women walked over, examined the garment and materials, decided to buy or not, and then looked at the price. Men, on the other hand, first glanced at the signage price and either stopped or kept walking. Then they looked at the tag (price), moved on, or continued. Then, the style (button/no button, sleeve length, material (itchy or not), color, and size. My conclusion was both groups make purchases but usually not with sound rationale.
Some of you are really obsessed with the half lining and act like it should be half the price only because of this. Relax, honestly, there are benefits to half lined things. It's just a matter of preference and the difference in cost wouldn't be something crazy
Idc how well made it is, I would never spend so much on something i’ll probably only wear once or twice during season… unless you’re someone who actually gives their clothes proper constant use.. but nah can get something similar for like $80 even if the construction is a bit cheaper.
I have a vintage Sear's King's Crown brand evening coat that fits me perfectly with no wear or tear at all, in a beautiful deep green, and with a full black alpaca wool removable lining. Guess how much. $5. Including tax. Shop second hand. It isn't just cheaper, it is also environmentally friendly, and it will last you a lifetime.
Unpopular opinion: i bouhght $120 jeans for $20 after the pandemic, was sorely disappointed they didnt run a hole after a while because i live in miami and proper ventilation is key, only for house though not for outdoor wear
nah bc i can hunt a good will and find a burrberry trench coat for 10$ (i have and i live in the middle of appalachia). yea its wool, but the construction and design is no where near the level it needs to be to match 400$. Maybe 200/250 or 300. but not 400
I have a textile allergy. I love your reviews so I don’t gotta waste my time walking in the toxic air, touching all the fabrics to read the tags. And just because I’m happy to relate to someone else’s disdain for shoddy workmanship and materials.
I personally don’t think it’s worth 400 dollar for how thin it is I found a 400 dollar leather trench coat for 10 dollars in a rich neighborhood at a garage sale and it’s very nice from the brand Danier I’m not really familiar with the brand but I think it’s a lot better then this I find brands are purposely making clothing thinner so it gets ruined quickly and we have to buy new ones it feels like a big scam to make us spend more and consume more I love when I find a good quality peice of clothes in this economy it feels like a gift that’s why I usually shop at thrift stores even though they don’t have the best affect on the environment either but I’ve found some decent things that make me feel comfortable so it’s my wardrobe now and whatever I don’t like I give to people who need clothes or sometime I get creative and try to diy stuff
400$ for a partially lined wool trench is not worth it. Pay attention to what companies sell similar products for on sale. THAT'S the actual price of the jacket, they will always still make money even on 90% off products.
Ugh working retail and finding out the true quality of supposed “more expensive” brands being super disappointing… i now take 3 times longer to shop to look through materials and every stitch and seam lol
lol people here say its worth because its wool. Wool is so cheap that its impossible for any small or medium scale farmer to mske any money out of wool production. Don't fool yourself
It’s a nice coat, but I got a nice wool coat for less than half that price from some random old people brand. Also a nice classy silhouette, fully lined and well made. So absolutely not worth 400$.
yeah no, just because someone put more effort into something than an automated process in a factory using cheap plastic bs does doesn't mean it's worth as much as a month rent, it should be 40 dollars at the absolute most
As a person who thinks about the poor a lot, I just can't even sort of bring myself to say that because it's good quality it's worth $400. Like what is the poor supposed to wear, plastic bags? The coat is worth more than some people and that makes me want to cry. Why do we have to measure people's worth with money? Like, no you can't have good health, food, clothing, or housing, you don't have enough worth tokens. *Gags* It makes me feel hopeless and nauseous.

I was against it watching the short but this is so true actually... I get so hot but I love to layer! Great idea.
Yeah, same!
same here
Same. I live in a hotter climate that only occasionally gets cold so a half-lined coat is more versatile for me.
Just get an unlined coat then. It hangs poorly and looks cheap when wearing it open.
