This jacket I had bought already in gray in the last year, as a fur cord was instead the chain pulled through the slots. In comparison, I have to say that it was better, because the black metal chain this year's version looks for a not so elegant as the fur cord, on the other hand it is quite cold on the skin. The cut of the jacket is great though, and the collar keeps the shape. The sleeves are nice and long (so always have problems) and the material is comfortable against the skin. Buy recommendation!
