From the Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sense of an Ending--a rich, witty, revelatory tour of Belle poque Paris, via the remarkable life story of the pioneering surgeon, Samuel Pozzi.

In the summer of 1885, three Frenchmen arrived in London for a few days' intellectual shopping: a prince, a count, and a commoner with an Italian name. In time, each of these men would achieve a certain level of renown, but who were they then and what was the significance of their sojourn to England? Answering these questions, Julian Barnes unfurls the stories of their lives which play out against the backdrop of the Belle poque in Paris. Our guide through this world is Samuel Pozzi, the society doctor, free-thinker and man of science with a famously complicated private life who was the subject of one of John Singer Sargent's greatest portraits. In this vivid tapestry of people (Henry James, Sarah Bernhardt, Oscar Wilde, Proust, James Whistler, among many others), place, and time, we see not merely an epoch of glamour and pleasure, but, surprisingly, one of violence, prejudice, and nativism--with more parallels to our own age than we might imagine. The Man in the Red Coat is, at once, a fresh portrait of the Belle poque; an illuminating look at the longstanding exchange of ideas between Britain and France; and a life of a man who lived passionately in the moment but whose ideas and achievements were far ahead of his time.

Great Quality and Price
These are the perfect weight for cool Arizona nights and make a great layer for colder climates. The fleece lining is very soft and comfortable and the shirt is true to size. Great price for excellent quality.

By far the best 1/4 pull over zip I have ever bought - 5 stars
This is the most comfortable and best looking pullover 1/4 zip I have ever bought. It looks really good on me and it is super soft, but not too soft that it looks cheap. I did not get hot in it and I get hot easy in long sleeves. It breaths well and yet also kept me from a chilly breeze. The collar is one of the best I have ever found for a pull over like this as it does not poke me and it stays upright and looks very sharp. The only thing about it is that I had to put it in my steam dryer and then hang upside down to dry overnight as it had a few wrinkles in it when it came. So it is not 1,000% wrinkle free, but after wearing it half a day it did not wrinkle at all. As long as you keep it on a long wooden hanger I do not think it will wrinkle. If you dont have long wooden hangers thought, since it is a tad heavy, the shoulders I think would get bumps hanging a long time in the closet on a short hanger (like all long sleeve shirts with a little weight like this would). I got this one as it was I thought the most masculine color match. I would love to see this in other colors and keep everything else the same. I love the inner collar pattern design as it gives it a nice look. I am 5'11" and about 230 lbs and it fit me in a XL perfect. I have broad shoulder and bigger chest and a bit of a dad bod, so I wanted something that is not baggy nor snug on my mid area (so I don't look fat). This is the perfect length too, it is long enough it won't come up if I reach up and show my stomach, and long enough to be a tag long in the back, but short enough that it doesn't look too long. All in all, this size and fit was perfect for me. My style is I want to look good but I have to be comfortable and that is not the easiest to do, but this with some nice pants (of any kind) is a really sharp look and comfortable.

Great shirts at a reasonable price.
Great shirts for the price. The fit is true to size, and they have a quality look that rivals shirts 5 times the price. Definitely recommend.
