J.G. Glover Hampton Dry Waxed Cotton Coat (For Women)

I followed the recommendations from prior reviews and ordered a larger size. I normally wear a 4 or small for a tailored fit or a 6 or medium for a relaxed fit or if I want to layer. I ordered a large and the feminine seaming allows for a more tailored fit and there is plenty of room to wear a fleece top if needed. I wore it in the wind and rain and it sheds water well, is not bulky or restrictive in any way and the internal thigh straps keep the coat from flapping open. The gusseted/zippered sleeve cuffs are an added convenience and I love the slash pockets on the front above the waist that allow you to easily slip your hands inside in a comfortable resting position. The fabric and construction is top quality and because I sized up correctly I could not ask for a more comfortable, attractive fit in a utility coat. It was a wise purchase and I would buy it again without hesitation.

Durable, Water Resistent, Light Weight and Great for Travel

Definitely order 1 to 2 sizes up. This fit is very tight and if you want to wear any sweater or lightweight fleece under it you will need to go up in size. I recommend two sizes if you want a loose fit.

This is a great coat. Great classic style and elegant yet very functional for farm chores. It is lightweight yet durable with a thin lining. This is not for a cold winter day, but rather a cool fall day of work or going out activities. It seems to have actually been designed for horse-back riding, because the sleeves have an elongated shape at the shoulder, which would be great for comfort when holding the reins. A plus is that my husband loves the coat, which is rarely the case.

I live in rainy Oregon, and I walk a few miles daily. I have a nice raincoat, but it no longer keeps me dry. I am shopping for a truly waterproof coat; and I determined that waxed cotton and equestrian coats are the most waterproof. I am deciding among 4 coats. Of them, this is the best looking, with flattering princess seams and a lovely coffee brown color. It has 4 exterior pockets (2 handwarmers and 2 cargoes nicely finished) and an interior zippered pocket; and zippers to ventilate the wrist. It runs small: I wear size 10-12. Size L was snug over a sweater or suit jacket; I exchanged it for XL. If I keep this coat, I will add a detachable flap inside the front opening which, suited for sitting astride a horse (as are the interior leg straps), admits rain.

Since it was sized too small I needed to return it.
