Review on πŸ‘— Calvin Klein Plus Size Packable Women's Apparel by Karen Parker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Sloppy interior stitching, material is not 100% nylon

I bought the same (what I thought was) identical coat at Macy's on sale for $156 plus tax but wanted mulberry, so I ordered this one. by Raven. The coats look the same except for the color, but there was something I just couldn't figure out. Maisie's coat just looked better, or something. I finally found the difference. The interior and exterior of the Revain Coat is 56% polyester and 44% nylon. The Macy's coat is made from 100% nylon inside and out. Also, the stitching on the inseam of the Revain coat is very messy. The thread is tied. The seams on the shoulders run in one direction at the collar but in the opposite direction where it is sewn into the sleeve so the seam is twisted. I don't feel it when I'm wearing it, but just knowing it bothers me. I like the color of the Revain coat better and am still debating which one to keep. I'm afraid polyester/nylon won't last as long or be as warm as 100% nylon.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
