I am a tall woman and my weight is carried in my ass a lot. I wear pants 16/borderline18 if they run small. I have such a hard time buying longer jackets because the moment I'm sitting my ass wants out of the jacket. I bought it because of the extensions on the sides. It's also cheaper than the popular Amazon jacket. And I have to say that this jacket is beautiful. I tried that and I didn't have to adjust the sides at all. Red burgundy color, absolutely my favorite. Wearing it, the feel of the buttons, pockets and zippers made me sweat. With my current winter attitudes, I would sweat, but not as quickly as in this coat. I live in Chicago. It's currently 10 to 20 Fahrenheit. You live with sporadic weather and become an expert at coats and layers whether you like it or not. So I usually wore a long wool jacket with a hooded fall coat, a beanie that covered my ears, and a huge fluffy blanket scarf. I also always wear a sweater or a combination of a t-shirt and a thin cardigan. With this coat: I don't need a hat, but I can keep it in my pockets just in case. I will be swapping out my blanket scarf for a regular scarf to keep in my pockets when needed. I will still wear a sweater or cardigan because it is cold at my place of work. So this is all a big update. The pockets are huge. I don't have to worry about losing my glove, hat or phone. Heck, I always lose my gloves after winter and buy new ones. I can easily store all my winter accessories in the pockets of this jacket and not have to worry about finding them again. UPDATE It's been a few weeks since I bought this jacket. i still like it I noticed that the double zippers allow me to secure the jacket at the rear when I'm sitting/getting in the car. It's like unzipping your blazer/suit when you're sitting, except you unzip the bottom of your jacket to sit. I don't like opening the sides just because they get stuck and it annoys me, so luckily the double zips fix that.
