Customer Reviews The North Face Metropolis Parka

I wanted to love this jacket but unfortunately it just did not work out for me. First I'll start with the positives- this jacket is lightweight but super warm. This would have been perfect for New England winters. It looked to be very well made and I would expect this coat to last for a long time. The one big negative for me was the cut of the coat- something about the way it cinched at the waist that made me look much wider. It just looked unattractive on me. I am curvy to begin with so maybe this would work for someone with a different body type.

This coat is perfect for the Chicago winters. My only dislike is the very cheap snap buttons on the hood. The good constantly comes off because the snap buttons are very cheap,. They are plastic not the metal snap buttons as old Northface jacket.

I bought this jacket last year and maybe worn twice , I hate that the hood snaps are loose every time I put it on

Its a nice coat. Disappointing by how easily the hat comes off. I put on my purse it comes off. I put up the hood it snaps off on the corners. I honestly hate this coat and the only way i see myself using it is if i take it too a tailor to have the hat permanently sown on, a zipper put on it, or new metal snaps put on it.

Warm and comfy but runs a little large. Hood is way too big and falls over my eyes.

I bought for a trip to Chicago cause it was cold and what a disappointment. The hood had cheap plastic snaps and wouldn't stay on in the super wind and cold. It would just unsnap when I moved my head etc.

I loved this jacket for over a year, finally said I'm going to get it. Overall it's a great jacket, it's just missing a lot of details the price and brand you are paying for should have. You can only zip this jacket no snap buttons or Velcro to quickly close when you just have to run out. Also I am disappointed in the lack of details with the coat. Only two regular pockets on the outside and one tiny on the inside pockets that can possibly hold lipgloss only. The first NorthFace I had, had pocket options and I loved that. Breast pockets, standard pockets, inside pockets, for gloves, phone, keys whatever. This one doesn't have any of that. Those were my two things that would change my mind if I were shopping in person. The hood hasn't come off easily like I saw in other reviews no issue there. It is warm I feel nothing on cold New York nights but details I miss that.

This is a slim fit coat, so there wasn't as much room for arm movement as I would have hoped. Also, I wasn't nearly as cute in it as the model, I looked much more like a marshmallow . I ended up buying a different TNF parka.

I purchased my first Metropolis Parka in 2012 and I wore it all the time. I loved it! I recently decided it was time to get a new one and I was a bit disappointed. No longer are there buttons to snap along with the zipper and the hood comes off so easily it's annoying. Please go back to the old style.

The hat of the jacket comes off easily. It is very uncomfortable, it always comes off.

It was just ok. I've noticed a decrease in quality over the past few years.

Nothing wrong with this product but I missed the old metropolis style that has both the zipper and button closure options. I also did not like the tight waist. I wanted something more loose fitting. I returned and exchanged for a different style

I love the way this coat fits, and it is very warm and comfortable. But I have only worn it a handful of times and the hood falls off constantly! Will be returning. So sad.

A bit too small. Hood falls off the snaps.

I love the color but I don't like how easy the hat detaches and how hard it is to zip up

I love it except it's extremely frustrating how easily the hood comes off! You barely touch it and it unsnaps. My last hood on your long coat similar to this one had metal snaps. These are tiny and don't hold the hood on. I want it on, but I have to continually snap it back on. It's very frustrating!!! I'm hoping something can be done. Other than that, it's a wonderful coat.

kept me really warm during the midwest winter, but unfortunately lit me up in flames when next to candle

Ended up returning. The cinched waist makes the coat look like a ball gown (in my opinion) and was not flattering at all. The plus side was that it was warm and high quality material.

I've been wanting this coat for months. I finally purchased it and the hood keep coming off. It's so frustrating especially when I need it. Besides the hood it is a very warm coat and I liked the coat but the hood makes me dislike it.

This is an incredibly warm coat. However I have a problem with hood popping off whenever I remove my cross shoulder purse. I asked the store associate and he looked at me like ."what do you want me to do". I am very disappointed that the DNA's are not very strong.

This jacket fits well and is flattering. Unfortunately, the snaps that hold the hood on are too small and do not stay fastened so that the hood is constantly coming off; not what you expect at this price point. Because of this, I can only give it three stars.

The coat is nice, very warm. I like to wear my purse crossbody and every time I put the purse on or take it off the hood rips off easily with it. Frustrating. I also have problems with the zipper.

I have the older version of this coat and have loved it and when I needed a new one I didn't think twice about what I would get. I really liked the snaps on the front of the older coat so I didn't have to zip it all the time and this one doesn't have any. The hood also has cheap, plastic snaps and constantly comes off when I'm hanging it up or taking it off the hook. It never stays on! I still like it and it is very warm but just not as sturdily made as the old version my daughter now wears.

Replaced 3 year old size M metropolis jacket with broken zipper with a new size M metropolis jacket. Comfortable. Warm. Like the fleece on the zipper storm flap. The new jacket is tighter through chest and waist which may impede layering in colder weather. Plastic snaps on hood are inadequate on new jacket. Walked dog this morning with hood on, a 20kph gust blew the hood off the jacket, had to chase after hood to retrieve it. Am thinking about sewing hood on.

This coat is super warm (bought for the NYC winters), but the feathers come loose super easily. I purchased it in early November, and by early February the white down feathers are coming loose, and it looks bad (especially on black). Not worth the price for the quality.
