Love this jacket. I'm 5'4", 115lbs. Ordered a Small. Was concerned it would be too small in chest area (In a 38C) but it fit perfectly and I even have room to layer. Fits 2 inches above knee. Lighter/Thinner then i was expecting...but I actually like that it is. And its still very warm. Read comments about the lack of adjustable wrists straps, but found the wrist area to be tight enough so the missing feature doesn't bother me. This coat is fabulous!! Highly recommend!!

This is the best winter coat that I ever found! Very warm and perfect fit. I'm 5'4" 115 lb wearing size XS. It is fitted design but not snug fit and I can still add layering inside. I can say it is very flattering and not bulky like other brands' down coats. The best thing is, it's made with waterproof shell and the inner down feathers are also coated with water repellent coatings. It is also very light weight (about 2 lb) and 650 fill down feathers kept me warm even it is single digit out. I wish I have brought it earlier.

This is a wonderful coat that is lined with a soft fleece so it feels great! I ordered a size larger than usual as recommended by some others and since I was stuffing my face with King Cake while ordering! I think ordering your normal size would be the way to go, but I am keeping the medium anyway! I like that the label is not obvious. I originally wanted a full length coat, but I am still very happy.

I have been searching for a warm, quality down coat for some time and finally decided on this one. Could not be more pleased! I am 5'6 and weigh 130 pounds and I went with size medium. It fits great! I have received so many compliments. And the best part? This coat it so warm! Perfect for walking my dog on windy, snowy days.

Amazing coat! Kept me perfectly snug in -14 degree weather in Russia in the middle of January! Super warm, loved the cozy fleece lining and the hood worked like magic! A must have for any cold weather excursion!

Just back from -40 Canada arctic and stayed cozy and warm! Love this coat. It fits me true to size and the sleeves were fine for me. I would buy it over again without hesitation!

I'm 5' 6" and weigh 128. This is a very nice coat and I love the furry lining inside and the extra zipped inside pocket, but the sleeves seemed overly large at the top by my biceps so I'm returning it.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
After having a down coat that was starting to lose feathers, I needed a new one. I ordered several brands to try and this one, by far, was the best. I am 5'7" and a DD, so I typically take a large in anything that is a more fitted style. This coat does not disappoint. The fabric is thick and does not seem as though the feathers can escape. It isn't too bulky even though it is puffy. The hood is cute and though I originally thought I would take the fur trim off, I have left it. The only downside to the hood and fur is that when my hair is down, it does get static, but that isn't a deal breaker.

I ordered this in a medium (5'6 155) and it fit perfectly, and I loved the fur hood and the cut. However - I'm not sure if it was attracting dust or the feathers were already starting to stick out, but it was covered in small white flecks. The zipper was troublesome to get started. The shiny fabric seems thin and fragile, so I went with a different parka.

Bought this coat in search for the ideal active wear, hiking gear. At 5'9", 112 lbs the extra small was a good fit except for the length. Too short, thus too cold, so going back.

I'm shocked at the comments about the coat being so warm. It's SO thin! Also, the fur on the hood looks very cheap. It would be an ok coat for half...maybe more than half the price, but not worth the high price tag.

This was soooooooo close to being the coat I kept. I had decided to keep this one and I tried it on one more time and I noticed that the arms looked a little weird. The bicep part is big and puffy so that part looks huge and the lower part of the arms there isn't much stuffing so they look really small. It just looked too strange for me other than that I really liked this coat. I liked the fit, the hood, and it being lightweight. It had everything else I was looking for, but sadly I continue my search for a down parka/coat.

The shoulders are too wide, but it seemed warm. I decided to return and try something else that fit a bit better.

I had a Columbia prior to this coat. I live in SD wind chill up to -20 to -50. The weather has just dropped here to 20 F and I was expecting this coat to be much warmer. Its not warm without middle layer jacket underneath - making it bulkier than what I was looking for. The pockets are not very deep either; disappointing for hand warmth or tucking your gloves in. The lining is nice and soft. The hood has a nice fit; not too large and it is warm. The zipper is just fair.
Bottom line - it’s a nice coat, but a little pricy for what you get. There are options for $200 less with the same warmth and comparable features. It is fitted and fits true to size. Nice tapering for a puffer. I’m 5’6” and wear a size 12 shirt and got the L.

A beautiful coat but a very snug chest and sleeves that are too long. I am sad but have to send it back.

5'7'' 135 lbs and the M fit me properly with enough room for the kind of clothes ones wears in the winter. It was a good fit and a nice coat. There were two main things that caused me to return the coat. The sleeves are not particularly long and the wind goes up my arms. The drawstring waist is nothing more than an elastic inside which means you can tighten it all you want and it has little to no bearing on the outside appearance of the coat. I did not expect to look svelte in a puffy down coat, but I had hoped for some indication that I had a waist.

I thought this jacket would be just the one, after trying several other jackets. The length is good, and it is not too puffy. However, the fabric finish is terrible. It looks like it would rip very easily if caught on something, and as if it would get soaked at the slightest snow flurry. It is not water resistant or water repellant. Other than that, it is a very nice looking jacket. I am regretfully returning it for something with better fabric.

Although I usually wear a medium in coats I ordered a large. This coat is so much too small it almost has to be mis-sized. There is a gap up the front of at least 4 inches and the shoulders are tiny! It’s also shorter than I expected. Very disappointed so back it goes. Thanks Zappos for easy returns.

I was not happy with this product. Not flattering at all and poor quality for the price tag. Needless to say this was a return

The zipper on this coat is awful. It is a shame, too, because the coat is so cute on. Great color, great fit, seems really warm. However, especially when you zip it all the way up, it gets caught on itself. I got it jammed 2x just trying it on, and when I showed it to my boyfriend to determine whether I should still keep it, I got stuck in the coat again. He had to spend 4 min unzipping it for me. No bueno. If it was this bad merely trying it on, no way will I struggle with it all winter. It just happens that the zipper teeth tend to be a magnet for the smooth outer fabric of this coat. I had to return it.
