Not as good as expected

By Anonymous Ranked #662 - Women's Casual Jackets January 14, 2009

After reading all the reviews, I really had high expectations for this coat. It's got an A-line shape that nicely accentuates a woman's body. On the other hand, the hood is too small and has an odd shape that makes me look like one of those Cone Heads on Saturday Night Live (think the 70s). It seems like women's jackets have hoods that are either too big or too small. I have a small head and the hood barely covers in front and is huge in the back (hence the cone head effect). Maybe I'm just overly sensitive about my head ? ; )

Also, I found the fabric to be really stiff and swishy. In other words, every time I move it makes a swishing sound. How will I ever be able to sneak up on my officemate without alerting her?

Unfortunately, I will be keeping my old coat and sending this one back.

If you're concerned about whether this coat will fit you, I found that it is true to size (except for the hood).
