This coat is lovely! It’s slighted fitted which is great to show off curves. I bought my Amazon recommended size which is medium and I was worried that bulky sweaters wouldn’t fit underneath. I was wrong. However, as a sensible D cup the chest seems a bit tight. So if you’re bustier think about sizing up. I’m 5’5” and weigh 140lbs with a 34D.For a trial run I wore a shirt under a North Face Denali and was surprised that it fit without the arms feeling too tight. But again, if you’re bigger chested you might feel a bit smothered on top unless you’re planning on wearing a thinner sweater like a basic turtleneck. My plan isn’t to actually layer a Denali beneath this jacket I just like knowing I can. The jacket seems like it’ll keep you warm even with minimal layers.PHOTO: Please note that the brown is a bit darker and truer to the listed photo. Mine looks a bit light a lighter copper-color solely due to the lighting at the time. Now, I love love love packable clothes but I cannot fit this into the bag it came with for the life of me! I saw another review say the same thing and didn’t believe it. Upon receiving the jacket it had the packing bag tied to the jacket rather than the jacket coming packed inside. And I’ve never been able to pack it inside the bag. Not once! Clearly from the photo I know how to stuff and pack other clothes into their respective bags. Yet, this bag is honestly too small which is a shame because now I’ll have to look for another drawstring bag to store it in.So what I’m really saying is: IF YOU CAN FIT THIS JACKET into the bag it came with you’re a magician. Or a wizard of some sorts.

Nice coat, give it a try!
Nice coat. Be sure to check the sizing chart, had to return the first order, (XL) for XXL, first order to small, seems to run one size smaller. The coat is very light weight, just what I wanted, with layering underneath will probably be warm enough for mild winters. The weight will be perfect for travel.. Hand stitched the bottoms of the inside "pockets" so the stitching doesn't show through to the outside and now have nice deep inside pockets. Like that the collar and hood are one and zip up so the hood stays on and closed without ties. The two way zipper is a plus. Haven't tried stuffing it in the tiny bag. Very happy with coat and would highly recommend.

too difficult to find the correct size
I tried the 4x first since i wanted it big enough to wear a heavy sweter or blazer underneath. It was huge! I could wrap it over itself by about 5 inches on each side. So I figured i needed to actually go down 2 sizes. I ordered the 2X that came as an XXL (which i find is sometimes different). And of course, it was too tight on the sleeves and too tight by about 4-5 inches. Maybe the 3x would have will be just perfect, but is it worth trying again?Pros: a good lightweight packable coat. Medium length is ideal. Double zipper makes the coat easy to sit down in without having to completely unzip.

Price and pack ability.
I agree with the reviewer who said to order your regular size. I ordered up and had to return and reorder. Maybe it was because it was a Prime Day offer, but it was a real deal for the price and quality.I bought it for travel pack ability. The tiny packing sack that came with it made me laugh. Not even an extra small would fit in it! But I was able to squish it down into my own packing cube so it works.

zipper drives me crazy
Love this coat except for the zipper - it’s almost always a fuss to line up the 2 sides exactly perfectly.I returned one of these because of the zipper, and the reordered one that I kept seemed ok at first but wasn’t really.Also I wish it had inside pockets. There are 2 fabric panels inside that look like pockets but strangely they’re wide open at the bottom! (I might stitch them closed if I can do it without the stitching coming through to the front and looking weird.)But the rest is great. Looks cute, nice hood that stays put. It’s a good medium weight and roomy enough to layer. I lived in it on a trip to Spain where it was in the 40’s-60’s (fahrenheit). Wouldn’t want it for colder than that.The perfect coat except for the zipper and no inside pockets.
