Reviewed by Equine Lady from Santa Barbara, CA on Thursday, March 28, 2013I normally buy my coats in size Small. This coat boasts a beautiful plaid pattern in a very soft hand. But the fabric is very thin- more like a sweater. I'm quite tall (5'11") and the sleeves were nice and long. However, the fit was outrageously large and frumpy. I don't think my tailor can work with this one, so I'm sending it back.

Reviewed by Ann Somm from Baltimore, MD on Wednesday, February 06, 2013The picture on the website is misleading. The coat has no lining, no shape, and looks like a couch snuggy. I will have to return it.

Reviewed by JNT from Seattle, WA on Wednesday, February 15, 2012This coat is really cute. I am tall and have long arms and broad shoulders - it's SO hard for me to find a jacket that fits. This one does fit in the shoulders and arms. However, it is HUGE in the body. Very baggy, not even close to the body at all. Luckily I got it on sale so won't mind taking it to get it tailored. This coat is not lined so it is not a warm winter coat - more like something to wear as winter is on its way in or out.
- Best Uses: Work
- Cons: Not Warm, Poor Fit, Runs large, Unflattering Shape
- Describe Yourself: Classic Dresser
- Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Lightweight, Perfect for tall women, Stylish
- Sizing: Feels too large
- Sleeve Length: Feels true to length
- Was this a gift?: Yes

Reviewed by Arbor Woman from Columbus, IN on Sunday, April 10, 2011For the price, I would have expected a lining and finished edges. Fabric rather thin. This is a trendy piece that isn't likely to keep one very warm for very long. I returned it.
- Cons: Not Warm

- Sizing: Feels true to size

Reviewed by anneke from Columbus, OH on Friday, February 04, 2011When I placed an order, I thought I am buying a winter coat (my mistake). However, this is rather a light jacket with no lining. It is a nice jacket, though, stylish and I also like the colors. Too bad I have to return it because what I need is a winter coat. I give four stars because the sleeves are WAY too long. I am 6' tall and the sleeves are at least 3" longer than I would need. Makes you wonder - how tall this "tall woman" has to be the coat is made for? My size is between 14 & 16. I ordered size xl because that's the size of coat that would fit me. This coat is larger than regular xl - if you are size 16, order L. And be ready to alter the sleeves.

Reviewed by ccstyle from Portland, OR on Sunday, January 09, 2011I am fairly tall (5'9"), but not LARGE, and frequently find coats and jackets are too short in the torso, and have sleeves that are not long enough, so I ordered this boiled wool coat in M for TALL women. This coat was absurdly wide in the skirt. Though I don't like returns, especially at my own expense, it was not worth altering. It should be labeled: For TALL & (very) WIDE WOMEN. A disappointment, as it was a nicely designed, stylish coat, and the fabric was soft & cozy.
- Best Uses: Dressy Casual, Lightweight warmth, Stylish, Understated, URBAN
- Cons: Enormous, Wide skirt
- Pros: Beautiful fabric, Color true to photo, Well constructed

Reviewed by jhjohn from Kansas City on Wednesday, January 05, 2011Bought this coat for my mother-in-law who is 5'10. It had great length everywhere, especially in the sleeves, however, it was a bit roomy through the body. She normally wears a large to xlarge; she only needed the large.It's a nice plaid, perfect weight and length for running in and out of the car when you want to look more presentable than a ski coat.
- Best Uses: Dressy Casual, Errand running, Layers well
- Cons: A bit roomy
- Pros: Long Sleeves, Nice car coat, Nice Warmth, Without bulk
