Bowlees Waterproof Longline Jacket

It's waterproof. It's warm. It has a neat drawstring waist and good pockets. It's too bad it's only available for the anniversary sale. That said, I could not figure out how to unzip it. Perhaps I am an idiot, but it has two zipper heads, each facing a different way, for the long pulldown zipper in front. I could not figure out how to completely unzip the jacket. I had to pull it on over my head to try it on. That can't possibly be the way this is supposed to work. Now I have the 2xl and I am 5'4" and 260 pounds and it fit me with room to spare. The sleeves were 2-3" too long and the hood's pretty deep. There was plenty of room to zip it up. You're going to want to order 1-2 sizes down if by some miracle Nordstrom decides to carry this full-time.

I love this coat for NE fall. It’s got some padding so it will keep you warm on those in between early fall and early winter days and is waterproof for any rain that comes pre snow. The cut is generous but the strings in the middle are adjustable allowing you to adjust to your waist. I did find it to run large all over despite the adjustability. At 5’ 4” the sleeves were very long and will need to be adjusted. Thankful I can do that with my credit through the Nordstrom card. Even with layering a heavy sweater, I think this will be too big in my usual 2x and have ordered down to compare.
