it fit as expected, perhaps a little long in the sleeves but my son will grow into it. it was a little thinner than i expected from a navy pea coat though... not appropriate for a cold weather jacket. early spring and fall, or combined with a thick sweater for colder days.This jacket was exactly what my son needed for school. It's lightweight, our winters are pretty mild, but it's just enough added warmth on the chillier days. Really happy with the fit. I bought one size larger than he normally wears so that he could have his uniform fleece under it on the colder days. He's the kind of kid that hates puffy jackets,so this worked exactly as I wanted. And it looks great. For a 9 year old who's always trying to look cool like his older brother, it's a perfect coat for him!I bought two coats, one for each of my sons. They fit them well with a little room to grow. They are a little thinner then I thought they were going to be but I'm kind of glad they are so the coats don't get too heavy on the kids. They came with plenty of extra buttons and the kids seemed to really like them.We dress for church on Sunday, brunch with Santa and any old time. This is a light jacket, however perfect for car rides. Plenty of room for sweater and layering..This coat is very thin. I live in the south and it gets cold a few times during the season so I was hoping my kid would be able to use it for those occassions. Wrong, it's so thin you have to layer to stay worm. Good thing it runs wide in the chest area so you can layer it. A button fell off after one use and I am going to have to reinforce the others because more are loose. Don't be fooled with the price you get what you pay for. I would send it back but seller charges a restocking fee and you have to pay postage for returns, Not worth it to me. Not recommended. The coat leaves blue dye stains on the sleeves of anything light colored you wear underneath. This has been a terrible purchase.I bought this coat for my 6yr old son, since he always saw me with my own peacoat. He loves it and he looks like a grown man with it, very classy.It is light and nice quality. It doesn't irritate my boy's skin because of the cotton blended. We love it.I bought this coat for my 6yr old son, since he always saw me with my own peacoat. He loves it and he looks like a grown man with it, very classy.
