Customer Reviews The North Face Gotham Parka

I work nights, my shift ends at 4am and I have a long walk to the parking lot. I wanted a coat that could keep me warm over my scrubs. I received my Gotham Parka just in time for the very cold November we are having here in Michigan and so far I love this coat! It is true to size (I'm 5'9, wear a size 12, bought an XL). It sits mid thigh and has a very flattering fit while keeping me very warm. The hood is warm enough that I haven't needed a hat. I'm looking forward to some much warmer walks to the car this winter!

It seems to be a nice quality jacket but it had to be returned b/c the sleeves were too long and it has somewhat of a bell shape - flared at the bottom a bit - which was not flattering. Also didn't love the hot pink interior (w/ dark grey exterior). A little pink would have been nice, but it was too much. Will have to keep looking.

Boxy shoulders, sticky side zippers and a humongous bell flare at the bottom ruin an otherwise nice looking coat. I tested last years Metropolis and Transit and those literally poured out feathers, especially the Transit style. As I put this on and began moving around I was pleased to find there were no feathers sticking out. So hopefully The North Face is getting better on quality control. I am sure it would probably be warm enough for cold weather but for the money I don't want to look like Joan Collins circa 1980 on top and Marie Antoinette on the bottom and struggle with sticking pocket zippers.

Purchased for my wife for a birthday gift. She is a teacher & has to stand outside during the mornings for bus duty. The jacket is super warm & now she fits in with the rest of the smoking hot young moms around town.

I love this coat! Great fit and very warm! I am not looking forward to winter but at least I will be nice and warm!

Living in the very cold Northeast, the parka is going to be a wonderful asset to my wardrobe. The quality is fantastic and what is even better is how very lightweight it is. I recently purchasd a fall jacket that is so warm and was anxious to order a winter parka. Your product is pretty hard to beat and would recommend these to anyone. I'm a customer for life.

This is a must have parka! Not bulky and yet very warm. I love the length and color! I'm so happy with this jacket!

I searched and searched for the "perfect" length - and this coat is it! I am 5'5 and the coat hits me in the middle of the thigh (maybe an inch lower) I ordered a size SMALL and it fits perfectly! The coat is also pretty lightweight, not as bulky as a lot of parkas are.

This is a great coat.. It is very flattering but also keeps you very warm in the cold Michigan winters. I will be purchasing one for my daughter also.
