Not much is wrong with it.  Certainly the price is right.  The length looks good, and the addition of chest level slash hand pockets is aces.  Overall, a great coat for a low price.

But it’s the over abundance of buttons and how close they’re placed down the front that throws it off  a touch.  To me.  If the front lower flap pockets didn’t have buttons?  Maybe.  If there weren’t epaulets sprouting more buttons?  Perhaps.  But otherwise, cue the Aerosmith:

Would you wear it?  Or do all those buttons throw it off for you as well?
