Review on Stay Warm in Style: Cole Haan Women's Taffeta Down Coat With Bib Front and Dramatic Hood by Joshua Garris

I have a size Large to accommodate my 34D chest and 40 inch butt. The coat sits well on my hips and offers plenty of room, but it's tight across my chest and upper back, making it difficult to move my arms freely. Even when I was 20-30 pounds lighter this seems to be an issue with women's jackets in general and I wish they had made women's jackets roomier in the chest area. I like to wear men's jackets most of the time (men's "small" I can wear and still have room in the chest, upper back and arms), but then they're not as flattering. waist 28 inches) and the coat as a whole is attractive and flattering. I love that the hood is big and warm and has buttons and a drawstring to keep it on my head. The color is a darker purple than the Revain photo for this Merlot color but I still like the color. I think I'll *may* save this jacket for those days when it's really cold outside (I live in Colorado where some winter days can be in the single digits and others 60 degrees like today!) until I find a better cozy chest . XL would be too big in my opinion everywhere.
