Francis Waterproof Insulated Long Coat with Removable Hood

I bought this coat to put over my suits at a professional conference when I knew I would need to be running out into the rain between hotels. It’s very sharp design, especially if you pull the drawstring in the back. There’s lots of room to play within coat and while I’m normally an eight or a 10 I ordered a six and there’s plenty of room. The length is beautiful. And the inside lining feels like it will be a way to keep you warm on a chilly day. The one thing I would say and agree with another reviewer is the zipper gets caught on the lining very easily. Sometimes it’s a little fussy. Actually, I would agree one shouldn’t have that problem with this kind of designer coat. I love the double zip and snaps — but the zipper stuck on the lining cuts it down one star.

I was torn on what size to get having read many reviews to size up. I am 5’4 and 137 lbs. I am a true size 6 in most brands. I tried on other styles from Barbour in size 4 and 8 in store (there was not a 6 available). The 4 looked nice but was a little snug. I ordered the 6, and it is perfect. It is roomy enough that I can layer sweaters underneath, but isn’t so roomy that it is unflattering. The toggles around the waist are nice to use for a more form fitting look. I also purchased the Carolyn from Barbour in a size 6 as well. It too was the perfect fit for me.
