This item was released in 2014 and retired in 2018.When Julie rides the trolley on chilly days, she stays toasty warm in this outfit: A bright purple belted coat with big patch pockets and fun faux-fur collar and cuffs, A slouchy beret-style hat to match.When Julie rides the trolley on chilly days, she stays toasty warm in this outfit, $34. I love this coat! It is similar to one I had as a kid, mine was brown. I'd give it an A+. The coat is large enough to wear over the meet outfit and it ties with the sash; it is a thin coat, no good for MN, but would work for San Francisco. I can't tell what kind of fabric it is. The furry collar goes all the way around and coat and the sash attaches to the back so it will not get lost. The hat is a cute knitted beret.

The fabric is extremely thin for something being advertised as a "winter coat." American Girl has made heavier coats that make this one feel cheap by comparison. I don't see this set as being worth the $34 price tag.

As someone who normally isn't fond of Julie's wardrobe, I was surprised at how much I loved this coat when it came out. My best friend picked it up for me for Christmas. I don't have Julie, so my #58 got to try it on. It's a very, very soft, almost suede-feeling fabric, with a thick fur collar and cuffs. I love how soft this is! Julie could sleep on it, it's so soft. The purple color is deep and vibrant - it looks gorgeous on my #58. My only complaint is I agree that the fabric on the coat, cozy as it is, could be thicker. The hat is a cute knitted beret, a lighter version of the felt berets that came with Ivy and Molly's accessories.
Despite the thin fabric, I still recommend this for Julie, Ivy, and late 20th century and modern dolls looking for light winter and early spring coats and hats.

Another picture of the coat and hat. I really like it, even if it is thin. The color is really pretty, and I think maybe the fabric is microfiber? I had a coat very much like that in the 70's with the brown faux fur. I do think that for the price they could have included some gloves/mittens, but that is the only negative.
