The original version of this coat gained popularity not only because it was stylish, but also because of the great features and details that came at a very affordable price. This 2.0 version of the original sadly lost all of these great features and it looks like a mere shell of the original.
The original is very warm and puffy, while the 2.0 is very thin, with almost no down. In fact, there seems to be no fill at all in the shoulder area, making it feel like a thin windbreaker for late spring or early fall.
Black ribbon tassels on the zippers are gone as well. This feature was not important for me personally, but it was a visually interesting touch that contributed to making the original coat unique.
The thick wrist cuffs have been replaced with longer cuffs with a thumb hole. On the surface this is an improvement over the original model, however, the new cuffs are made of such thin polyester material as to be nearly see-through (same fabric thickness as typically used in underwear). Basically, the new cuffs are useless and would only work on a mild spring or fall day.
Lastly, the floofy white lining of the hood - the crown jewel of the original coat - is no more. The hood is now a thin and useless shell of it's former left. Because it's no longer fluffy, it doesn't sit correctly on the head and falls off at the slight turn or a small gust of wind.
The new shiny fabric could have been the saving grace of the 2.0 version, however, even this was a miss. I bought the coat in gray and expected it to be gray, but it was much closer to an old and worn out off-black, and the shine only made it look tacky, like a cheap knockoff bought from a street vendor.
I showed the coat two two co-workers who also own the original version and their feedback was exactly the same. Needless to say, I returned it and might buy a different color of the original - hopefully it's still available and has not been modified to be the same as the new version.

Love this coat! It kept me warm on my NYC trip on January. I received so many compliments on the color(metallic green). I am 5’3”/145 lbs, so purchased a small. It was a little big but not uncomfortably bulky.

CONS: Tore right away
This is a conversation coat and it's rare that we'll be out without someone trying to compliment my fiancee. She's a huge fan of the thumb holes and frankly gratuitous pockets, finding it very warm in our Colorado winter.
However, the day after she got it we noticed a small tear on the outside. She did nothing more than try it on, so that lead to a whole conversation about whether this is a poorly constructed coat. We're still not sure weeks later. It's hard to sew up an issue like this.
Sadly, there aren't a lot of options out there for shiny '90s rapper women's coats out there, so we're hoping it can hold up for at least a year.
