I sized up because I wasn't sure if it was my size. I have big arms so I wanted to make sure the arms fit and they did. I'm very curvy and shapely. I have plenty of room and tried it on with a hoodie to be sure it would fit. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the inner drawstring. No biggie because I'm just going to take it out. I wish it had a thick belt on the outside of the waist instead of an inner drawstring just to give it some shape but not a big deal. I don't want to break the zipper and take a chance that the cheap inner drawstring gets stuck so again I'm taking it out. That's really my only minor concern. I would say go up a size if you are curvaceous just to be sure it fits all the spots. The arms are long but I like that. Might not be suitable for short arms though. The jacket comes down pretty long as well and I'm 5'5. It covers my entire booty. The jacket is good quality. The hood is a bit big but I don't mind. I much rather have room than the jacket be uncomfortable and too snug. It's decent quality and doesn't look cheaply made which is important to me. I highly recommend this jacket. Don't mind my terrible selfies and messy bedroom lol. Pros: good quality, very warm, nice and roomie. Cons(but not such a big deal to me): long arms if you are very short, inner drawstring is in the way(just remove it), hood is very big(but will keep you warm), and side pockets are not lined with extra lining(not a big deal to me) GO UP A SIZE IF YOU ARE VERY CURVY AND HAVE DIFFERENT SIZED BODY PARTS SUCH AS ARMS.. it's a great j jacket overall and you can always return it if it doesn't fit for free. Oh and delivery came 2 days early! Happy shopping! Read more
I ordered a 3X. I am have a pear shape, XL at the top (44") and size 18-20W at the bottom due to 50"+ hips. I do have a smaller waste on comparison. This coat not only fits over my butt, it also fits comfortable for my upper body. Snuggly warm but not overly bulky. I can wear a fleece underneath it and not feel overstuffed. The hood is big but I like it for my big naturally curly hair. It has a synch chord if you want that hour glass look in it but it wears well without it. I would highly recommend this coat. Choose the size based on your hipsize if your midsection is within a few inches of your bust and hip sizes. Choose for your midsection if it is more. The zipper is long. Flattering, stylish and waterproof Read more
Honest review. I’ve had this jacket for over a month now. I’m 5ft, around 220lbs. Smaller waist, thick thighs & busty. I bought an XL & it fits like a glove. Literally! I’m currently getting myself back in shape, so I didn’t want to size up. With that being said, there is absolutely NO wiggle room. I can stretch my arms, bend & move just fine but cannot comfortably layer a thick hoodie under it, only a sweatshirt. PROS: I purchased the brown color and it’s exactly as pictured. Jacket is thick, but not heavy. Has a good weight to it. Thankfully the style of it doesn’t make it look like a “puffer jacket” since that is my least fav style. It definitely has some type of down in it because when I press on it, it puff’s right back up. Inside is soft & incredibly warm! I’ve worn it in weather that’s both in the 40-50’s & below freezing. Love the style, color, large hood & that it covers my behind. Also you can remove the fur attachment or entire hood if you’d like. CONS: With all that said… this jacket is not truly waterproof. A light drizzle, sure. But if it rains or snows consistently… it will start to soak it. That may not bother you if you are layering up. But I live in the North West and we just had our first snow day so I got to put it to the test. It was between 20-30 degrees and as I was playing with my little ones in the snow, I started to feel the dampness as the snow kept falling. So this is definitely not a snow or rain jacket if you aren’t one to read descriptions. If you plan to do anything for long periods of time where it will be getting rained or snowed on, without a doubt pass on this. If you are just looking for a stylish Winter coat to keep you warm in below freezing temps and not concerned about it protecting you from the elements, then this is it. I didn’t expect it to keep me totally protected from snow flurries but I did expect it to be more water resistant (you know, able last longer than 1hr in the elements). So that was a disappointment when I noticed it didn’t. Another thing I want to mention is the fur attachment and pockets. The fur attachment on the hood makes it heavier, so it droops below my eyes and I can’t see when it’s on. Once I took the fur attachment off, that issue was solved and I could see perfectly fine. This jacket has 7 pockets total. Only annoyance is that they aren’t lined. So if it’s freezing or even chilly out and you don’t want to wear gloves… you will not have the option of putting your hands in your pockets to keep them warm. Also, I don’t know if it’s because I’m short or what, but the side pockets where your hips are - are placed at a awkward angle that when I put my hands in them, it feels uncomfortable to the point that I’d rather stick them in the front square pockets with buttons. Not sure if that’s just my height or poor design. Final thought. If this jacket was truly water proof, I would look past all the other minor issues and give it 5 stars. But because it doesn’t protect me from the elements… honestly, you could spend $100 elsewhere on one that’s stylish & does. Am I keeping this jacket? Yes. Why? Because even with its flaws… it’s still good quality jacket that is stylish & will keep me warm in below freezing temps. Will I be buying another jacket to protect me from the elements? Yes. After all 2 jackets are better than 1. Would I recommend it? Yes God bless you in Jesus mighty name. Read more
This is so warm and cozy I did go up a size from my measurements even so its a great fit as I still have full fluid movements like others say the sleeves are a bit too long but not in a impactful way that detracts from the coat Read more
I have owned some decently pricy winter coats thru the years, and none come close to the quality of this one! I can’t believe i’m saying it, but a no-name coat from Amazon is the BEST winter coat I’ve ever owned. And I put this puppy thru its paces. My area of the country reaches -40 easily in winter, with winds over 60-70mph and any part of my body that is covered by this is just fine. Not just fine, warm even! Every thought was put into this design, from the adjustable wrist cuff sleeves to the waist ties, and all the pockets (so many deep pockets!!). The hood is deep and warm, and the neck can be adjusted to keep any hint of wind at bay. The cherry on top is that for all these things, it’s also not the bulkiest thing ever. It’s reasonably thick without being cumbersome, which is nice. Frankly i’m mad I’ve ever even owned other extreme cold weather coats. I’d climb Everest in this thing and never worry about my torso freezing. If this company makes snow pants, I may become invincible in cold weather. Read more
I bought this coat and didn't wear it for several weeks. Today it was 15 degrees below zero and I finally put it on and I was toasty warm! thanks!!! it's a bit heavy but.... that's a trade off for being warm. Read more
