Customer Reviews The North Face Gotham Down Jacket

I tired this jacket on in the store. I liked a lot of things about it, but it was so short it would have been useless to really keep me warm. Too bad.

Purchased for my 11 year old daughter. Looking at the sizing chart it seemed to be perfect. When it arrived it was way to small. We had to go up to an adult XS. Other wise a nice jacket.

My 13 yr old daughter loves the look of the jacket but it is very thin and I'm not truly convinced it's warm enough for 20 degree weather in NY. Was planning on returning it but she really wanted to keep it. Don't believe it's worth the price

I like this coat however I wish it was a little longer

I was excited to get this jacket and when I did it just wasn't as warm as I thought it would be and the material seems kind of cheap. it's not a bad jacket I just don't think it's worth the price.

The zippers stick and I had to exchange it for a new one after the zipper was not repairable. Other than nice, I love the jacket.

Feels like a worn out pillow. Not worth the money.

I don't like writing bad reviews, but the truth is I was pretty disappointed when I received this jacket. The quality overall feels, plain and simple, cheap; of course this is a personal opinion according to my standards for how much I paid for this jacket, it didn't meet my expectations. Also, hand pockets are very tiny (and my hands are kid's size), and pocket zippers sometimes work sometimes don't, these look especially cheap. The good thing is that it looks good, and I've gotten compliments wearing it. The coldest temperature I used this jacket was around 15 F and it was warm, although hands with gloves definitely don't fit in this jacket, I can see that being a problem when temperatures start getting lower. I got an XS and it fits great, I have other XS jackets and they are all kind of big so it could be that it runs a bit small, I'm tiny.

Outdoor football game!

It didn't match the online picture but I'm highly satisfied with the quality

Nice coat just runs small real cute

It's a nice coat. It doesn't feel like it would be substantial enough for northern Wisconsin weather like my Columbia coat I am replacing. I have a veeeerrrry hard time getting sleeves long enough - if you relate to this, you'll know - so I don't recommend it for tall women. In my pic, the sleeves look long enough but as soon as I raise my arm they are half way to my elbow. Also, the shoulders were quite tight in the coat that the size estimator suggested. For reference, I am 5'11" and I got a size medium. It sucks that this coat didn't work out because I really want an olive coat.

I've been reading a lot of reviews about North Face jackets. The Gotham received good feedback and looks stylish for cold New York winters so I was exited to purchase it. Overall, I like the jacket. However, the front pockets have the smallest, cheapest zippers I have ever seen. My children have less expensive coats with much better zippers. You can barely use the zipper because it is so small and there is no additional pull to length it. For this price point, I expected something better.

I didn't like the way it fit at all. Great quality horrible fit for my body.

Doesn't have the quality for the price. Doesn't seem warm enough

When I received this coat in the mail, I was a little disappointed. It seemed very thin for a down coat. However, my daughter tells me it's warm, so I kept it. I'm still accessing whether it was worth the money or not!

Loved the look, but unfortunately the fit was too restrictive and the sleeves were ridiculously short. Returned and purchased from Columbia instead.

Hi love love love this jacket, the colors are beautiful, yes I recommend it to a friend, Very stylish

This coat ran way too small, and now the size up is not available. I never would have been able to wear more than a thin t shirt and be comfortable. Sleeves were also short, and I actually have pretty short arms. Zipper stuck quite a bit also. Go a size up, trust me.

I will be returning for something else.

I bought this jacket as a gift in taupe, which is not a typical taupe, but more of a moss/army green. I bought it in XXL thinking it would provide a roomier fit for my daughter who normally wears a comfortable XL in jackets. It's a lovely looking jacket and kept my daughter's arms and back warm on a cold morning. But the jacket is way too small to be an XXL. It fit more like an L on her. Seems to not be made for someone with a larger chest as the jacket was not large enough to come close to closing. XXL should normally fit a size 18/20 frame, but I think this company made it for a 14/16 frame. We'll try an XXXL, but, what a disappointment. Seems the company doesn't really want to fit a larger frame/bust, but gives the illusion it's inclusive of all female body types. (PS, my daughter also surprised me with a jacket and ordered a size up, but it fit like it was my normal size. C'mon, North Face, do better and size smarter.)

I'm in between sizes. XL-XXL. This coat fits like a tight XL. Tight in the shoulders, across back & arms. Sleeves seemed short. Unable to zipper. I'm 5'4. Otherwise it's a really nice coat.

DOES NOT CORRESPOND WITH THE ONLINE PICTURE; THE FUR IS ALL BLACK; FEELS SMALL FOR AN L; SHORT SLEEVES

The jacket has stitching at the waist tat cinches it in and therefore puts focus on bust.

Bought as a gift for my grand daughter. She usually wears a small, was way too small. Then when I went to reorder a larger size OUT OF STOCK! Would warn customers it runs small.
