Car Coat

I love the coat so far, exactly what I wanted and expected. It’s very well made, good looking and WARM. I could see some people saying it “runs large” but I think it is pretty spot on for how a coat should fit, and I do tend to prefer outerwear that is on the large size as opposed to too small. I am 5’-9” (170lbs) and ordered a large.

Why do American jackets always have to look so incredibly boxy? Really wanted to love this jacket, but the unfitted look made my husband look like he gained 100 lbs. Also, FYI, Nordstrom Rack doesn't actually have free returns. You have to pay for shipping if you want to return it by mail. Wish I had known that, I would have never had taken the chance on this jacket.

I bought this great-looking Cardinal of Canada car coat (size Large) for my husband. Unfortunately, the coat was extremely tight in the shoulders and a bit loose around the waist. With the coat on, he could not move his arms above shoulder level. My husband is 5'10" and weighs 215 lbs. His build is similar to that of actor Daniel Craig, albeit with more body fat. It seems the coat would be a better fit for a man with narrow shoulders and small triceps/biceps.
