John Partridge Montgomery by Classic Duffle Coat (For Women)

Got one of these, the zipper broke, got another one in a different color. Felt like the first one was much better quality than the 2nd- wool felt denser/sturdier, and the linings were a nicer fabric. Even so, it's a great warm coat- served me well so far in the Norway winter!

I wear a size 8/10. I am 5'5" & weigh 128 lbs. When I removed the coat from the plastic bag it looked extremely tiny. The coat looked closer to a size 4. I could barely fit my arms through the sleeves. Needless to say I did not attempt to try closing the jacket. It annoyed me to have to spend $16.95 at the USPS to send it back. Prior to ordering the size 36 I did call customer service to get the measurements in order to avoid the costly expense of ordering the wrong size & having to pay for return shipping. The only information your customer service has is the length of the garment which is on your website . I asked what the measurements were at the hips & chest but all they could tell me what I already knew. I also checked out an international sizing guide to verify what English size would be consistent with the the American size I wear. An American size 10= a British 36 so I purchased the 36. It would helpful to provide complete measurements of the garment at the hip & chest especially so the customer does not have to go through the unnecessary expense & trouble of returning an article of clothing they purchase from Sierra Trading

This is a super adorable coat and I love the classic cut of it. Because it doesn't cinch in at the waist, it is very important to get it in the correct size. I am 5'7" and weigh 145 pounds and the 36 fit really well. It is a little bit boxy in the shoulders, but perfect if I am wearing a heavy sweater underneath. The sleeves are just barely long enough, but a larger size would look too big. I love the red, although there weren't many other size options by the time I got it. I have worn it in sub-zero temperatures and found it to be warm and have a nice wind-blocking effect. This is one of the best purchases I have ever made.

Although it is a little difficult to figure out the sizing on this coat it is beautiful. I'm about 5"5" and 135 pounds and bought a 38. I could have gone smaller but want to be able to wear heavier sweater underneath. The looser fit looks good in this style. Also love the red colour but haven"t worn it yet so can't comment on warmth or durability. Looks very well finished.

I got this coat for the Chicago winter and I am very pleased with it so far. The wind in the Windy City can be pretty biting but the coat is quite warm and blocks out the gales. The coat has a nice plaid wool lining and all of the materials seem high quality. My only complaint is that part of the leather catch for the bottom toggle ripped loose at the seam after a week so I can't close the toggle. It might be because the bottom toggle closure gets the most wear because it as right at thigh level. The coat has a zipper so you can certainly wear it without the toggles closed, but it doesn't look as good.

I ordered a 36 Short and the coat fit perfectly which was a pleasant surprise. The arms on most coats and jackets are too long for me and the fit is too baggy in weird places, like in the back, because I'm short and slim. This coat has a slightly snug fit without being restrictive and is well proportioned. Some reviewers haven't liked the boxy look of the coat but I think it has the classic duffle look and feel that I really like.
