Angled Zip Twill Coat

Nice and heavy coat, lined and looks nice. However I am 5’9 and the waist band is so high up on me it’s making my waist in my rib cage. This is the problem with built in belt coats- they never line up with my natural waist and look and feel ridiculous. Overall, I didn’t love the silhouette as much as I thought I would and not very flattering on women with smaller hips than shoulders. Also this was a bit tight in my shoulders.

Happy to find this coat at Nordstrom in XXS (at 5'3", 110 lbs, I had tried the XS elsewhere but it felt bulky on me). This coat is flattering with the large wool collar and asymmetrical zipper, and I like that the bib is knitted (not poly with down filler). I'd prefer that there were more wool content, but so far it feels warm enough. Only complaint is that the zippers are sooo shiny (on the wheat coat they are bright silver), which makes it look cheap to me, but I like the coat enough that I plan to change the zipper color myself.

I love everything about this coat. I wear a size 10 but i’m busty so I ordered the medium but had to return it and size up because of how it fit my bust area. I like to wear hoodies under my coat and it fit snug with a hoodie on. I’m in NJ and it’s 20 degrees and i’m warm even without a hoodie underneath.
