Even the coldest days in town don't stand a chance against the warmth of The North Face Women's Gotham Jacket. Thanks to 550-fill down and a faux-fur lined hood, the Gotham Jacket keeps you from feeling the chill. The North Face made this jacket water-resistant so you stay dry in light snow and added a media pocket so you can listen to your tunes while you wait for the commuter train.
I ordered this jacket for my daughter for her birthday. She is 5'2" and weighs 105 lbs. The fit is great but the jacket length runs short. She wanted the vintage white (which has been discontinued) so the price was terrific.
I am 5'8 180lbs and I bought the black XL size, and I was worried when I read all of the reviews that were on here about the coat being too short and too small, but when my jacket arrived in the mail today I tried it on and it was not as short as I thought it was going to be but it is definitely not a jacket that covers your backside if your built like me. But besides that the jacket fits me like a glove. I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to zip it up because of my bust size but the coat has a stretchy feel to it when you put it on so it's not too tight and its not too big, so there is no marshmallow effect. But everyone has a different body type and the only advice that I could give to anybody that plans on buying this jacket is that If you are going to be worried about the length of the jacket or the size, go a size bigger than what you usually wear. The only negative thing about this jacket is that I wish they had this jacket in XXL so that it could have been just a little bit longer. And if you are looking for a jacket that hides your backside and gives you a little bit more coverage this is the wrong jacket for you. And if you are one of those people that plan on "hiding" behind your jacket for winter this is not the right coat for you as well. And I love the fact that you can remove the fur from the hood, but I like the fur because it gives the jacket so much detail. I hope the review I gave helps somebody out there because If it wasn't for all of the reviews on this site I would have never bought this jacket.
This fits 'relatively narrow' and is 'kinda short' so I think the bigger question is whether or not you are going to do much layering and want the extra space. It would seem that the small should be sufficient if you aren't wearing a bulky sweater or anything underneath. Hope that helps! -kp

I love love love this jacket. I just moved to the North East from Texas so I am quite afraid of the cold. I wore this jacket for the first time over the weekend when the temperature was dipping close to freezing. The minute I put it on, I was warm. It is fantastic, comfortable and looks great on. I got numerous compliments on the way it looks, while being warm! I'd definitely recommend this product.
i'm 5'0 and 115 lbs and the small fits me very well. if you're still unsure, i suggest you go to a department store and try on the coat youre looking for first. this is what i did because i was going to order a med but it was too big.
First off, I have to say that I would recommend Backcountry.com to anyone interested in NorthFace Gear. Their prices and service are top notch. I have ordered from them twice, and both times I received my merchandise very quickly (and this last time I even took them up on their Free Shipping...I thought it would take much longer, but I received my jacked within a few days!). The jacket: Although I thought from the picture that I was ordering a White jacket, it turned out to be more on the tan side. I was a bit disappointed, as I did want a pure white jacket, but I guess I should have paid more attention to the description of "Vintage White". After trying the jacket on, there was no doubt that I was going to keep it and learn to love the color! The jacket is so comfortable and warm! I have had the opportunity to try it out with some below zero weather here, and it is truly the warmest jacket I have ever worn! The only problem is that my legs are jealous! The fit is what I expected from a bomber-style jacket. I am 5'8" and 120 lbs., so I orderd a Medium and it fits great. I would definately recommend this jacket!
I love the jacket. I bought the brownie brown color and really like the deep rich color. I wanted a warm, more causal jacket to wear with jeans, and this jacket is perfect. Because it is a bomber style jacket, I knew it would be on the short side so I ordered a medium rather than a small. I am 5'5" and weigh 125 lbs. The jacket is very very warm and cozy. I like the way the fur zips on and off too.
Having sold this jacket at a retail store, I would recommend the small. Most people find that the XS is way too short for their torso. If you want a down jacket that fits more like a belly shirt get the XS in my opinion :P
Even after reading the reviews about the jacket being to short I ordered it because I thought it would be OK, it was not- way to short!!! It might be fine on someone younger that is not chasing little kids around but it rode up on me and I had to keep adjusting it- well for 5 min- then I returned it :) Backcountry was great shipped fast and no hassle return!
I loved this coat online in the Cherry Brown Stain color but once I got it and tried it on (I'm 5'4 / 110lbs) the XS fit very weird. The sleeves were overly puffy (felt like I had body builder arms!) and yes the coat is very short...I'm pretty petite and can fit into most things quite well so was so surprised that this didn't work out....very sad because I love the color and wanted a North Face coat. Would definitely not recommend.
since it is above the hip , it will ride up to the waist and you have to fidget all day to keep it down. anything that is a bomber jacket inspire look will ride up .find a down jacket that hits below hip to above knee an is a good fit.Yeah don't get this. It is going to be way too short on you. Find one with a longer torso.
This was the best deal I could find on this jacket! Hands down!...the live-chat was a very convenient tool. The sales rep gave me a break on shipping. I was appreciative. The jacket is the warmest I have ever owned. Love it!
The last time I tried washing it all the feathers clumped together inside the coat and it didn't look so good. Uh, you definitely should NOT be putting down into a washing machine. You will ruin all the insulating properties of the feathers.It really depends, you can read online how to wash down if you have a front loader, some brands recommend washing with something like a tennis ball so the feathers do not clump. Read the directions and find out if you need to buy any other product like nikwax downwash. cheers.
Im 5'10" with slender build, I was worried about the lenght of this jacket?? Does anyone feel it is cropped too short at the bottom or does it fit just right?? let me know!
Don't get it. I am 5'10" and 140 lbs.and I've tried this on. Let me tell you it was a JOKE. It went just past the bottom of my rib cage. That was a size large too and the rest of the jacket was way too big.
Medium. I'm about the same size as you and I'm a north face medium pretty much across the board.I would get a large because I'm 5'4" 140 lbs and I have had both a medium and a large. The large would cover your butt more but the Medium rides up and even some sweatshirts show underneath the coat when you try to layer.
I live in Boston, Massachusetts and it can get pretty cold, windy, slushy, snowy etc. here. This jacket was really warm and I really liked the ink blue color. It looks kinda funny in the picture on the website, but it looks really good on. I loved the furry hood, but the jacket was waaaaaaay too short. I'm 5' 4" and 110 lbs, and the jacket rode up everytime I wore it. I've also seen two girls at school who have this jacket, and the jacket's bottom was all the way up on their waists. So it's REALLY short. I got a Small, which fit really well, except for the short thing.
Is the ink blue a pretty color? I think it looks nice in the online picture, but sometimes its hard to tell whether something will look good when you're wearing it... Also, is the jacket roomy enough to wear a sweatshirt underneath??
The ink blue is a pretty navy color. As far as layering goes, it depends what size you get. I would get a size bigger if you want to layer especially since the torso of this jacket is so short. Unless you like short jackets of course...
I ordered the Gotham jacket for my 15-year-old daughter in Ohio. It keeps her toasty warm, and she's received one compliment after another. Fits her nicely, shipped quickly, and the website was user friendly. Thanks.
Does anyone own the Cherry Brown Stain color?? Hard to tell if it would be nice in person. I really love the Brownie but it's hard to find now...Thanks in advance!
My boyfriend got it for me for christmas and I ended up exchanging it for the vintage white. It was like a dark copper/bronze color. I wasn't thrilled with it, not your typical 'brown' color at all.
I admit it, I friggin hate the snow and I hate being cold. I also hate looking like a dude marshmallow man just to keep warm in the winter. I have never been able to find a coat that keeps me warm and looks supa fly at the same time, until now. This coat rocks the kasbah! It matches my True religion jeans and my Rockstar Uggs perfectly! I have never been an outdoorsy type of girl, lets face it, I dont know which is worse, being a POW or camping in the wilderness with no room service. After I bought this coat, I have found myself browsing on this website alot.....I am even considering a camping trip this spring (OH MY GOD!!) But seriously, this is a really nice coat, I totally love wearing it. I am 5'7 115 lbs, the small fits good, maybe just a tad too big, but no complaints whatsoever. My coat came in the mail the very next day after I ordered it, AMAZING!! Also, the live chat guy was very helpful. I think his name was Mitch, but I could be mistaken. I wouldnt hesitate in the least to buy another one. Who knows, I may even buy some snow shoes and go for a trail run in the mountains behind my house, it just snowed this morning. YEAH RIGHT!!!
its puffy but not too puffy, i dont look like a total ball when i wear it, however; it is a down jacket... its supposed to be puffy, but not overly so. i wouldnt recommend wearing this if youre packing a few extra pounds... because that will make you look a little bit too puffy.
Purchased the coat for the winter and love it. The jacket is warm, cute, and love the fact that the fur comes off and there is still a hood. The only downside is that the coat is a little short.
Just received the jacket yesterday. It is a great jacket. Washing instruction inside the jacket indicate removing the hood. The hood should be hand washed, lay flat to dry. The jacket is machine wash, tumble dry. Hope you order the jacket. I am sure you wil love it.
I don't know what I like more... the jacket (Northface Gotham), or this website! it is just so kick-back, and a little on the funny side. As for the jacket, I got it for my 13 year old. She love love loves it. And by the way, Backcountry had the best price. $40.00 cheaper!I will definately use Backcountry.com again. the process of ordering was simple. Just an extra bonus!
I bought this jacket for myself, a Christmas present! Went skiing and my daghter ended up wearing it! We both love it. It runs true to size. And had no problem ording from Backcountry, will order again from them in the future
Bought a size medium for my daughter who is 13. The sleeves were a bit long so that was good and I thought it was a bit to crop but that is the style. She loves it and it keeps her very warm. She just wears a t-shirt & the coat on a 24 degree day and she's fine. Very light weight - would recommend this.
Bought this for my wife for Christmas and she totally loves it!!! Keeps her nice and warm and it fits her great too. Backcountry was great to work with and Northface makes awesome stuff!! Oh yeah, saved some bucks too.
I bought this jacket as a Xmas gift for my wife and she absolutely loves it!! I used the reviews and feedback here to figure out her size and it worked out perfect!! The jacket fits her perfectly and looks cool on her and most importantly its super warm!!! She's already gotten several compliments on how cute the jacket looks on her people while we're out in public. What more can I say?? Thanks BC!!! Great price, free shipping, and jacket came quick and fast...Definitely buy from you guys again!!!!
I bought this jacket for my 16-year-old daughter. She is very picky about what she'll wear, and she loves this jacket. Excellent for cold weather. Great quality. Stylish. Best of all is the superior customer service I've received from Backcountry. Quick shipping; very efficient and helpful sales & customer service people. I highly recommend this jacket and Backcountry.com.
I ordered the ink blue gotham jacket for my daughter as a xmas present and she loved it.. I payed 50.00 less than in Macys and no shipping. I would definitly order from back ccountry again.
I ordered this jacket for my daughter who is very fussy. She loved the jacket--very warm. It is short and my daughter is tiny (5'2") so it was OK for her. Based on another review I ordered her the extra small which fit OK. Excellent shipping and good price.
