Best quality lether coat I have ever purchased! And I'll be getting another one shortly
I purchased this coat after years of extensive searching at multiple stores and web sites. This is the most accurate and period correct reproduction of the Waffen Elite SS long coat that I have ever seen. It is impeccably made with the utmost attention to detail and quality of manufacture! The fit was perfect, matching exactly the quoted dimensions for the XL size on the chart.I am so very impressed with the amount of quality, accuracy, and attention to detail that the makers put into this item that I am actively searching their company website for other leather items to add to my collection! (Like the matching SS officers hat)I'm not at all a person who gives 5 stars on a rating unless the product just totally exceeds my expectations, AND this is one of FEW that absolutely delighted me to have purchased. I'll be getting one for my 17 year old son as well since he won't stay out of mine, its just that awesome...

EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY !!!
Perfect Fit! Great Quality Leather! Very Heavy! the buttons have a antique brass "steampunk look" to them, & are easily replaced with more authentic looking buttons; the imitation fur collar easily comes & off, attached by small buttons; the coat is VERY warm for the Deep South, & I may have the lining replaced with a lighter weight lining; you won't be sorry with this purchase; my father brought one back from WWII, which both he & I wore frequently, but it burned with our home, & I was glad to find this high-quality replacement! Shipping was exceptionally fast! I just wish that i'd gotten it when it was on sale

Really nice coat.
Excellent coat. It fits perfect everywhere but the length. I purchased an x-large and I'm 5'9" and it comes down to my lower ankle. I would have preferred it about 3 or 4 inches shorter. Other than that, I can't find anything negative about it. The sleeves are perfect, the leather is really nice, and it seems to be made very well. It's a really nice coat that I believe was worth the money.

Photo accurate, gorgeous quality, damn fine jacket!
Starting with the good, I bought this coat as my 2nd attempt to purchase a similar garment. The first time I tried a different seller who misrepresented their product and sent me a different trench coat that looked nothing like the one in their photo. Thankfully, that is not the case with South Beach Leather. The coat is thick, genuine leather, absurdly heavy and very warm. Nice quality garment. It looks exactly like the coat in the pictures.On the negative, South Beach Leather claims to be based in New York, but their products ship from Karachi, Pakistan. I don't really mind, but this does mean shipping takes a while and I find it weird that they feel the need to lie about where they are based. Still, the product arrived, was accurate, and had quality material and craftsmanship. There were a couple of minor scuffs in the leather, but for the price I paid I'm not really complaining. The buttons are the only real downside: though they are brass and are cosmetically appropriate, they are rather thin and flimsy feeling. They are also somewhat loosely attached and I'm certain at least one will fall off soon. All of these collectively prevented me from giving an honest 5 stars but don't let that fool you; this is still a great coat. You just might need spend a little time, energy and money upgrading it fully.One important note: this is a full length trench coat. I am about 5'10" and I purchased a medium. It's a little less fitting than I would have hoped (I weigh 175 lbs or so) but it is comfortable and is obviously designed to be worn over 2 other layers so that's not a huge issue. It hangs down to my ankles though, so far that I am slightly worried about it scraping the ground and getting damaged or dirty. I am considering having it tailored to hang around mid-calf length instead, not sure what I'd have to pay for that service though.Overall, if you like what you see, buy the jacket! You'll get something nice at a reasonable asking price and the few issues are fixable if you're willing to spend a little extra aftermarket.

Smells like Pure Awesome
Absolutely stunning! Slight warning to those with sensitive noses, this thing reeks majestically of bona fide cowhide and it's enough to make a grown man cry with joy. Only downside is whoever was assigned to put the buttons on mine must have been a rush to get to their lunch break. They were a little too loosely adhered and two of them popped off while trying to work them out of the buttonholes. I got them all reinforced at a tailor though so everything is good there now.

It is just pure quality heavy cowhide long coat.
It fits perfect for me, I am 6.2 ft tall I ordered medium and I can tell it fits just perfect in my shoulders chest and waist it is a little to long but I am very tall it does not bother me, also If you need that length fixed south beach leather have very friendly customer service and you can customize it as well. Just a coat worth the money.

I love the neck to ankle protection!
The only thing I can fault on this extremely well made long coat is the buttons which I am having replaced!

Good quality.
This is a substantial coat, very well made, good quality, and long. This was a good choice, my son liked it. My son is over six feet tall and this coat is down around his calves. Heavy cowhide, and completely lined. Well worth it.
