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

Ordered the XL in black and although I haven’t worn it yet, I’m very pleased with the style and features. As others have noted, it seems to run a bit snug in the upper arms and through the chest. I like the Shelbe Raschel Parka so much that I plan to order the XXL in mauve or olive. TNF should throw additional colors into the mix as I’m sure they would be a big hit! It’s not the coat for sub-zero temps, but will be perfect for most chilly days.

I absolutely love this parka. I had a little extra cash and was overdue for a new winter coat; this was a special treat for myself & I have to say I should do that more often. The inside is so elegantly soft, it's very warm but lightweight. I love the parka length and the black pairs well with really anything. The outer layer fabric is extremely wind resistant and I find that any dirt, pet hair or smudges of any kind brush right off (great for toddler mom life!) I look, and more importantly feel rich and luxurious when I wear this coat. The only little change I would make is the pocket depth - a little shallow, I always have to make sure I zip it up if I leave my phone in there, it could easily fall out. Other than that I highly recommend!

I love how very warm and cozy this winter jacket is. Living in Wisconsin, I need something that is going to provide serious warmth on those very cold days and this jacket is the key. I was happy with the information provided online prior to purchase so that I could make an informed decision regarding size and fit. Definitely recommend!

This is a beautiful parka but a bit too long for someone as short as I am (5'2"). The back drops down, which is a look that I like but it just didn't work in this case. The parka is well made and looks as if it would be very warm. If it came in a petite length, it would be perfect for me. I have to return it.

Probably will return. Very tight in the shoulders.

I got a LG and the sleeves are so tight there's was no way of wearing a sweater underneath. I'm returning for an XLG and hoping it's actually an XLG.

i bought this coat for walking the dog on chilly nights. it's a nice weight, not too heavy, reasonably warmbut the hood isn't adjustable! it's too large and blows off easily. i'd return if i could.

Wanted to love the coat so much. Love the design, shorter in the front a bit of a tail in the back. Inside material is so super soft and the coat is stretchy, which allows you to move and sit comfortably in it. However it runs snug through the shoulders, so I had to order up one size which the sleeves felt too long then. And because of the soft plush inside material it pulls at your clothes if wearing anything other than a thin material. Unfortunately have to exchange for something that will work better for me.

Zipper keeps getting stuck

My daughter loves it, she can't wait for winter

Love this jacket

Looks very good and good quality

The jacket is warm and yet not bulky. I wore it between 20-40F in New England. Only thing I wish it is true ivory color, not pinkish white.

I love it, use for rain or snow. Fits great and is great quality

It is comfy and a good looking

Love this jacket, the liner is so soft, it keeps me warm in the cold weather. Love it.

I had a similar version of this jacket so I purchased this to be longer. I love the color and the fit!

I love this jacket. It does have a warm lining so it's definitely not a warm weather jacket. Maybe under 60 degrees unless you run cold. But it's very cute and the length us great, I think it runs a bit small. I bought a large to have extra room to wear sweaters underneath but it's tight for that.

Lighter for the lighter weather but just enough to keep me warm and so soft.

Lightweight and fleece lined. The mock neck is my favorite feature of how high it goes and the hood remains laid nice on the shoulders. It's so nice.

I have the vest in this style and love it! After reading other reviews on the jacket I HAD to get it.

I love this parka and length and the pockets! The inside so warm.

It runs smaller so it's difficult to layer but make me look slim. It's warm enough but not too heavy or thick. I always love it when jacket has zipper pockets. Love this jacket!

Love the length!

always good quality, fast delivery, I'm satisfied thanks The North Face.
