Good casual rain trench, agree with other reviewers who state that the hood is short. Have used an umbrella with this jacket to avoid that problem.

I ended up keeping this jacket even though the length in the arms were super long. I am 5 5 and a half and because there is a buckle style on by the wrists area I am not able to cuff/roll these up, however even though it's a bit long I still decided to keep it

I've used this for rainy seattle days. My only complaint is that the sleeves are too long and they're not easily hemmed. I wish they were shorter. For reference I'm 5'4".

Great fitting product. My only complaint is that the hood doesn't cover my head entirely.

This is perfect upgrade to the casual raincoat. It is a bit more stylish. My only complaint is the hood. I wish it would cover my head more. It stops right at the beginning of the hairline. I would still recommend this coat!

This was cute but not cute enough to keep (especially for $200). I am 5'5 and 125-130 right now, and the medium had room for layers, so it was a good fit. Yes, the sleeves were long, but I actually like that. Honestly, the beige color was pretty boring. If it had been a nice shade of blue, or even navy, I may have kept it. The cut was fine, although there was a slight "poof" caused by the buckles, that I did not love (though, in theory, I do appreciate the ability to tighten the waist). As mentioned by other reviewers, the hood is a bit shallow. It is obvious they wanted it just deep enough to cover the head, but they weren't taking into consideration the face area and the need to be protected there. Also, the material seemed like it was not really waterproof, per se, so I worried that it would not totally protect me in a downpour. I do not tend to carry an umbrella. Suffice to say that it is a decent jacket, but beware the "blah" of the beige color and the impact that has on the overall "average" look.

This is a cute coat. Overall it was true to size. However, the arms were too long on me, and I am looking for a hood that comes out far enough to keep all of my hair dry when it rains. So many coats come with hoods that seem to stop right where my bangs start. Will keep searching.

I really liked this jacket, but the fit of the sleeves was terrible. They were too long and the buckle cuffs were too cumbersome to use, and didn't tighten enough. The jacket is very stylish, and the material of the body and the lining is soft, that I wish I could have kept it. But the ill-fitting sleeves/cuffs made me ultimately return it. I also wish the hood rolled into the collar, like the Westoak City Trench, which would make it perfect for wearing to work on non-rainy days as well.

I like the style of this raincoat. For the record I ordered a small, I am 5'7, 126 lbs. I am often in between xs & small esp in tops & coats depending on the company. Although the small is fine and I will keep it, I have the waist belted on the last loop & I still have some room, I really wouldve prefer an xs but for a more fitted look, as I doubt I'll really wear any super heavy sweaters under it. The only real con I see is the color online is a brighter khacki & the actual jacket is very basic in person, otherwise it will serve its purpose.

Great coat but returned. This coat runs true to size and for an athletic raincoat is very cute. I decided on something a little shorter in length.

I haven't had a chance to wear thing out yet, but I thought the jacket was stylish and comfortable after trying it on. I am 5'10"/slender, and some of the shorter jackets don't hit quite right. This one is great! The sleeves are also long enough and the adjustable waist and wrist belts don't make it look like the jacket is wearing me. The zipper was a little sticky at first and I'm hoping it will become smoother as it is used.

I can't comment too much as I just received the coat yesterday. However, I like the styling, and the weight appears to be what I was looking for for spring and early fall wet weather. I had been looking for something similar in department stores with no luck. But.....I just can't get past the sleeve length. Not all of us are 6foot models! The sleeve extends well past my hands, and at 5'6", I'm not short! I want to keep the coat, so I'll take it to my tailor to see what he can do with the sleeves. I had to get the L to fit my chest, which made the waist big, but the buckles at the waist allowed me to cinch it in to a good fit. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase.

I just received the coat today. Need to test it outside. Know it is supposed to be wind & water-proof. Hope it is warm enough w/ layering. Other reviews were very helpful. I ordered it in a Large & XLarge, and am glad I did. Normally, I would expect to wear an XL. But I am tall (5 foot. seven inches), curvy and have long arms. so, the Large fits me very well & is flattering!

Cute jacket. Problem is it’s thought across the shoulders. I’m 5’2 and ordered a M...sadly going back.

This is a great rain jacket. I stay dry, with no wetness seeping in. It is thin but also windproof so I easily add another thin jacket underneath for colder weather. The zipper takes patience which I have, especially because I don't wear it every single day. The sleeves are a bit unnecessarily wide but are also a tad too short for me. I still love it and get compliments!

I've only had the coat for a couple of days and needed it already this morning, It kept me dry from the knees up. Sleeves are long and loose, even when buckled as tight as possible. Our temperature dropped 15 degrees during the time I was at the gym and this was not warm enough for my walk home. I'm afraid it may be a bit tight to layer, but the next size up would be way too large.

Very nice city slicker and I love the fact it unzips from the bottom up as well. Very good for bike transportation in the rain. I think the hips are a bit wide though. I don't think I have particularly narrow hips either. But the rest of the jacket fits well.

Would have given 5 stars if I hadn't had to shorten the sleeves 1-1/2". Was able to wear layers underneath for more warmth. Size large fit well for as recommended for my measurements. Have a pear shaped figure. Liked the raglan sleeves for smaller upper body. Very pleased with fit and style of jacket.

I love the look and feel, but it is a little too big. the sleeves do not fit with the rest of the sleek look, even after i use the adjustable belt.

This raincoat is both very stylish and functional. The liner is great for a little extra warmth, the length is nice, I feel like I have a little extra space in it but it is still cute. The problem is the sleeves are suuuuper long. Like very long, maybe 4 or 5 inches. I have to roll them up and the inner lining gets wet.

The fit finder didn't really help me. It suggested an XL but when I got it, it was extremely baggy. Now I have to go through the return process. Besides that it's great!
