Oh, mine was really something. The lining was a (GASP!) gray cable pattern
bonded knit--I think I chose that primarily for low cost, but also for warmth.
The only thing that would have been worse is if it had been maxi length.

No worries, Ann. I plan to make mine from dark chocolate cashmere
and mink on the collar. I have a lovely black mink and sable fur hat, round
crown and big brim, that looks vaguely Russian or Mongolian, so I would like
to build a coat to go with it. I wear the hat all the time in the winter.
Very warm.
