Customer Reviews The North Face Metropolis Parka

Weird Hood. Pointed and somes down past my nose.

I'm typically a size extra small with most clothing, but this jacket was way too tight. The hood is also comically pointy however, I did not find that the hood snaps off easily like most of the reviewers here mentioned. Perhaps they've fixed it? I did like that it accentuated my curves however I would prefer a more boxy look. I'm 120 lbs and 5ft for reference and lean in build

My regular NorthFace size, XS felt tight in the back. Returning the coat.

This parka puffs out to the sides hugely at the hips, almost like a bustle. The back puffs out too. The hood is comically conical. My family literally laughed when they saw me in this.

I am supper bummed about this jacket, it is so light and barely keeps me warm I would not have gotten a jacket that's like a sleeping bag if I don't want to be warm, what a waste of money. And the return policy only last 30 days. probably my last north face jacket.

Losing lots of feathers right from the start. It’s just too expensive of a coat for this to be so much of an issue. Sometimes the feathers poke out on the side and are pretty irritating. Bummer.

I bought this parka in the shop , I did like the way it looks, but how could I predict that it will be so bad for everyday life ,fears are coming out non stop which makes the parka really cold .

The quality of this jacket is pitiful. I've only had it for a month or so and the sleeve is already starting to separate from the jacket. Feathers also constantly come out between the seams.

Had to return and try a different style

The hood comes off too easily, every time I pull my purse from around my body. My feathers are also sticking out all over the coat. Though, it is very warm.

I am not as happy with this coat as my previous jacket

Got this coat and was so excited but the arms were SO tight and the rest of the coat was super baggy. I'm a pear shape and wear an XL in clothes. Got the XXL coat. I had to return.

Love the style and very warm! Unfortunately, after only two wears/zero washes the down feathers are starting to fall out in multiple places so unsure if it'll be good long term.

The Metropolis parka used to fit well. This would have been my fourth one. Now, fit is changed and is extremely tight and uncomfortable. I am a S/M generally. In this parka, now called slim fit, the M is tight. Not sure if L would even work if wearing a sweater.

I like the coat, but the hood coming off so easily is very, very annoying. I would not have purchased if I knew how easily it popped off.

Its ok but is thin fit and its too small

daily wear during cold months jan & feb

It didn't fit my body type well.

I bought this jacket for work. Just not happy with the appearance for a North Face

Would be ok if you kept the hood off, otherwise very inconvenient to have your hood snapped off frequently

I bought this for my girlfriend because she has this same coat from 6 years ago (the 550). She absolutely loves her old coat but it has gotten worn down so I wanted to give her a new one. The quality isn't as good and she just doesn't like it as much. We returned it and she's back to wearing her old coat.

Fit weird on me with the pronounced waist cinching. Could tell it would be nice and warm, maybe it would look nice on someone else's body type . I returned

While this coat is warm and fits well, there are a couple disappointing issues with it. The hood is attached by super cheap tiny dome buttons, and comes detached at the slightest pull. Forget wearing a cross body bag, or pulling the hood up over your hat. The whole thing comes undone which is utterly pointless in a winter jacket. Also, the zips on the side pockets are TINY. It's impossible to unzip the pockets without removing gloves or mitts - again, utterly pointless in a winter jacket. I have other jackets/coats/pants from North Face that I love, but for the price of this I was really disappointed and would not recommend or buy again.

Quality is subpar to previous version my daughter had on this parka. Fit us now unflattering. Logo ironed on, not stitched on a $300 coat cheapens the look even further. Gave it to her for Christmas and she was very disappointed. She loved her old version of this and wanted to replace it. Unfortunately, now I will be returning this, we wish we weren't.

I really love the style the jacket but the hood is a poor design it snaps off way to easily taking off my purse rips it off and also if I pull it over my head the center snaps off.
