ProsComfortable, Performing as Expected, very cozy
I loooove this jacket-it is so cozy and keeps me nice and warm even in the worst chill--my friends keep asking me where THEY can get one! (but i am glad i was able to get a black one, the lite colored ones are pretty but i got a lite blue jacket from LLB a few years ago and it was always getting dirty-so i am glad i switched to this one)
Because I read the reviews before ordering (thanks so much), I wasn't surprised to find that the sleeves are indeed a bit short. However, the color was a big surprise: not really "dark" raspberry at all. Both this and the other color I didn't opt for - a light blue - are too "feminine" and light for an outdoor coat IMHO. How about deep (really deep) purple, blue or forest green?
But friends said they liked the color on me, I like the inner cuff on the sleeves - SO much better than a fabric cuff on the outside - I love the length, and it is just as warm as promised. So I will keep the coat.
But PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give those of us with average length arms a break and make your standard sleeve longer!! In outerwear, this is really a make-or-break feature.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
This coat is really great. You do need to wear a sweater with it but it is super light and super comfortable. The color is really pretty. A great Value.
