I was originally sold on the style, colour, great cut andgood looks. Then I had to go out in storm: the coat kept me dry and kept the wind out. It zips up high to cover the chin; the hood shields my glasses and stays in place in the wind; it's long enough to protect legs; it's ventilated to prevent interior moisture build up. The interior and exterior pockets are roomy and well placed. It fits true to size, go one size up if you want to wear a heavy sweater underneath. I've worn through rough weather for the past month and it hasn't let me down. I've received compliments on its appearance, so it looks good too!
I like this coat with the fitted cuff within the sleeves, navy is nice, pockets are great , zippers good, a good length. It is three stars because I can see no way to adjust the hood so it sits back more on my head. Most jackets have an insert at the back of the hood, like a pull tab that pulls the hood back (not the pulls on the sides which this coat has--these are for tightening the hood). So this means I cannot see past the edge of the hood when it is up, and this is super annoying and potentially unsafe. So I will have to pay someone to place something on the back - maybe velcro would work. I understand you want the hood to protect from the rain, but you should still be able to adjust it so it sits back more so a person can see!
Hi Ann, This is Eva writing back from Lorne's Coats and thank you for reaching out. Do you see the brim that is located at the front of the hood? If you try folding the brim back, you can then wear the hood sitting further forward on your head without impeding your vision.
I'm going to email you a picture, so you have a reference.
There are also adjustable drawstrings on the sides of the hood, which are meant to be tightened to help hold the hood in place.
If you would prefer the hood to be smaller, we have an expert tailor on staff who could take in the hood for you. His work is impeccable and you wouldn't even know the hood had been altered once it had been taken in.
Thanks very much and best regards, Eva
