Quality and look surpassed my expectations, beautiful!!Ok, so this coat is SUPER warm. Like too warm for anything above 20 degrees. I wore it when it was 34 degrees outside and I was sweating. This being said... I am not 100% satisfied. I am 5.8, 160 pounds and wear a size 36B bra. The coat is a bit tight on the showers, making it uncomfortable to wear while driving. I needed the coat for yesterday, so I couldnt just return it and besides the LG wouldn't have worked because it would be too big everywhere else making it look like I'm wearing a sack.I'm keeping it as my "really super cold out" coat because I dont wear hats and the hood is bomb. What caught my eye was the thumb holes, this helps keep the sleeves down and adds a little warmth to the hand if you aren't wearing gloves. Overall I'm sorta happy, but which it fit better on the top.Was looking for a coat for northeast winters. Main requirements: hood with no fur (don't like fur), waterproof for snow and freezing rain, and thigh-length for warmth. Searched everywhere and this jacket comes closest. Water beads off, the fur in the hood is removable (thank goodness!). Cuffs at hands are nice to keep wind out. The olive is dark and thought it was black when I opened package. Criticisms: wish the pockets were bigger & lined/quilted to keep hands warm and wish the zipper was 2-way.Agree with other reviewers to size up. I'm 5'1 and 112 lbs, normally a petite small or small. I got the small and it fits perfectly with cotton shirt, but would be tight with heavy sweater or blazer underneath. Returning due to a broken side cinch, but will reorder in a Medium to get more roomy fit and hoping sleeves won't be too long.This coat is nice and warm and long. The fur is a nice touch on the hood, but that being said, the fur is a bit much, with most of it covering your face with the hat on. It is very furry. I will most likely give it a trim, so I can see. The fur strip can also be removed, but I feel it looks better on (albeit with a trim!) The hood also has an adjuster to tighten the hat to your size. The coat is just a little on the narrow side for a winter parka, considering you might be wearing a sweater under. It works, but is a bit snug with a sweater. It also does not have slit pockets for your hands, just the square open an the top type. Overall, it is a very nice looking, warm parka.Upset that there were two different styles with such a high price difference. The coat was pretty and warm. It just didnt fit chest/ shoulder area. Would of love to go up a size, but it wasnt availableI wanted a white puffer coat that was warm AND stylish, hard to find but this coat exceeded expectations! It looks much better in person. It is warm and very stylish. It can be dressed up or down. The side zippers are a cool feature. The hood is soft and not bulky.I ordered a size up and it fit as expected. (5'5''/ 125 lbs. I usually wear size medium tops | Ordered a Large). I mean, it is for colder weather, after all. So keep in mind you will likely be wearing colder weather clothing [thicker fabrics/ layers/ sweatshirts/ sweaters/ etc.]. But even if you are wearing a thin top this is so COZY and ABSOLUTELY adorable! The length is beyond perfect and at the sides you can cinch it in for a perfect and flattering fit.When it first arrived I put it on and the six people that happened to be in the house around me were all 'oh my goodness that looks amazing on you!' I ordered the blue one, only because it did not come in black and my winter boots are brown.... Anyway, totally worth the price even if I hadn't purchased it Cybermonday!I love the style of this coat - just wish it was a touch larger in the shoulders. It is definitely WARM.Very nice coat - quite well made.However sizing a bit off. I ordered the same jacket two sizes larger and I really swam in it so I ordered two sizes smaller this time and it was very tight.
