Customer Reviews The North Face Shelbe Raschel Parka-Length w/ Hood

It was too tight around my upper chest but like the color

Love this Shelbe Raschel line, very warm and comfy, I would give 5 stars. However only gave it 3 because I'm a long time owner of this jacket (shorter version) and I clearly notice some quality differences from my older jackets. Very disappointed because this is an all time fave jacket. I wish the old quality was back. Zipper is cheaper. TNF logo is 'sticker' instead of embroidered. The outer layer is slightly different, thinner. The innner shell fur is thinner. I feel this won't be as warm as I once knew this line to be.

Very tight fit on the arms I would size up

Ordered my size (XL) and it ran extremely large. It was so a bulky. I exchanged for a large and it’s perfect. Sizing is off on these.

Nice quality but definitely not a 3x. I shipped it back but no return yet.

I sized up based on other reviews and I agree, it's tighter in the arms than it should be. Sizing up worked for that. I didn't like how it fanned out in the back below my rear. If it had been more of a straight cut down the back I would have kept it, but it made me look like I had a tail.

I really wanted to love this coat! I ordered the 2x which should have been a good fit and it was great except the breast area was super tightlike it was not proportional to a 2x typical shape in that area. Other than that, I loved the length, the weight, the lining sadly I'm sending it back and I tried to order it in a 3x and they are sold out. Another note, the hood length was a bit long for me, would have been nice of it had a tie or something (like a hoodie).

Returned

Bought tow of them for family members. But has very cheap zipper quality. keeps getting stuck. It wouldn't last long

The style of this jacket is lovely. An excellent cut. Unfortunately I needed a white jacket and this jacket has a feint pink hue, as if the jacket was washed with something red.

E2E TEST Review

The Arms of the jacket are not wide enough to wear with sweaters, sweatshirts.

The arms are to tight. Other than that it would be a great coat

This was not true to size, nor was it a-line

I bought this for an in between fall, winter and spring coat. This material in black was a bit too stretchy and was not as nice as previous years, when the material felt stiff snd retained its shape.

Zipper came stuck, couldn’t move it to zip it to try it on, returning. It looks, feels lovely though:(

I ordered my size which is an XL and it was huge and boxy. So I ordered a large and it was way too small. I can’t win with this style. Sadly I have to return this one too. It’s so soft and cute but neither work. Highly disappointed.

Ran small and the zipper doesn’t work very well. I really don’t want a jacket that I have to fight with the zipper every time I put it on. Returned.

the filler only came down just at my bottom, needed it the whole length of the coat to keep legs warm too, returned it.

Tight arms and baggy body.
