I purchased this new on ZOZOTOWN. I mistakenly bought it thinking it had a liner, so I haven't worn it much and it's been sitting in my closet. The fabric is firm and sturdy. I think it will be warm in the early spring if you layer underneath. * There is no lining, but it's not a bulky fabric, so it doesn't bother me at all. The waist and hem can be tightened, so you can wear it in your preferred style. * The hood is not removable.
