Great! but.....

I love TNF and found this coat at SportsAuthority for 278$. Found on Backcountry for a mere 139$ bought it in a heartbeat.

I am 5'5", size 14 and "chesty". The fit is really great. Not too tight and makes me look "curvy" without being a puffy Michelaen man.
I love this coat and all it's fuzzy warm-ness, but like Kat, found the sleeves to be too long. I think anyone w a bit of skill can run a quick hem on the sleeve if it's just one turn-up, anything more than that will need a good tailor (i agree w Ian).

I also had a hard time zippering up the jacket - maybe b/c of my short T-rex arms, but it was a pain. I am returning this coat in favor of the TNF Transit car length coat --essentially the Metropolis but a little shorter.
Like the lady at Nordstrom said, just cuz you get something cheaper, doesn't make it a good deal... I think the shorter coat will work better for me. Too bad, because I really do like the look of this style. Oh well. I hope this review helps! :(
