Diamond Quilted Puffer Coat

I just tried on this coat at the store and was very impressed. It runs very large. I usually wear size L in coats but with this one I had to go with size S for proper fit, and there was still plenty of room left for thick sweaters. It’s a very attractive coat, mid weight, not overly puffy. It feels like having a cozy comforter on. The sleeve cuffs are great. The length is just under the knee on me (5’3”). The double zipper looks very sturdy and doesn’t get stuck. The pockets are warm and have zippers.

I love this coat! If you are familiar with a trapeze cut, you'll know that it is made to have a full cut through the middle. That said, I was between sizes based on the measurements shown for this coat. I initially tried the Small and it was far too wide, even for a full cut. The XS is great--still a full cut, but scaled proportionately. I'm 5'3" and a regular size 4/Small in most tops and bottoms. The shirt-tail bottom is a fresh take. I appreciate the soft cozy flannel lined and zippered pockets and generous cut. It's a good mid-weight coat that won't be overly warm in milder climates. The hood is a good size, too, to fully protect in the rain.
