Steinbock Down Car Coat - Side Zips (For Women)

I think this is a beautiful coat, definitely warm enough for the extreme cold we're having right now in upstate NY. If you want a slim-fitting coat that hugs your body, don't buy a down coat! I find the coat attractive and not that bulky; and I'm a petite size 6.

I'm a petite size 6 but found a size 8 in this coat just right as the sleeves can be folded up to make an attractive cuff. It's not as "stylish" as some of the down coats I saw in Europe this winter but it's really warm, high quality, and a very good buy.

Finest construction, lightweight, warm. It's boxy in fit, but great for the coldest days. This is not the old-fashioned boxy down car coat, still not slim-styled. One of the reasons the coat is so warm is that it's cut with enough room so the down has space to loft well. This does not make for a "trim" style coat. But it's wonderful for comfortable warmth.

I ordered both this coat and the other down Steinbock coat and kept the other as this one was, as others have mentioned, rather less flattering and ill fitting. Looks like great quality and even though I know that down coats are going to be puffy, this one just felt too shapeless for my purposes. The other one is also puffy but had more of the style I was looking for.

I really wanted to like this coat - the quality is exceptional and the price is great. But I couldn't get the other comment out of my head about looking like a bus....it really has blimp-like tendancies. Would be a great coat if you were in the forest service or a Green Bay Packer fan - somewhere where you'd be sitting outside and no one would see you about to launch into orbit from being overly puffy. I returned this for their other down coat - which I LOVE even though much more. Suggestion would be to try a size down especially if narrow in the shoulders. I had to turn up the sleeves which never happens on me - and maybe it was too big in the body - which accentuated the blimp qualities.....
