Hooded Trench Coat

I bought this coat because I saw it on a blog I follow (topic is dressing fashionably for travel). The price was right, and Cole Haan has been a good brand. I live in California and wish we would we get monsoon type rains. But for CA and my needs, this coat was fine. I wear a size 4-6 in everything and ordered the small. It fits fine. The length, room in the shoulders, It's a nice look. If you live in an area where there is more rain, I would frankly consider investing in a traditional trench designed for bad weather and with the option of a zip out lining for extra warmth. I am also a stickler for finishing, because I had a trench from another clothing company. It was disappointing--the buttons kept falling off. On this coat, the 2/3 of the buttons are secured by a nice back, however the bottom button doesn't have this backing. I thought it odd, but I'm not a designer. At least the top two buttons are reinforced, presumably where they would take more pressure and have to hold up better. The stitching seems fine and the hood is optional and easily removed. There is no lining so I wouldn't be wearing it on a rainy day in November in New York without a thin sweater like a merino wool over a Patagonia type layering top. A thick sweater would make the coat too tight. If you order a too big of a size to account for more layers, I suggest going to a different coat. Honestly, I debated whether to send it back, but for where I live and was looking for a shorter trench, for under $150 this was fine. It basically is like an outerwear blazer. When you want to up your fashion game but don't need warmth or water proofing, it's fine.

This is a super beautiful and perfectly proportioned raincoat. I'm 5' 4" and 120 pounds. The small fit perfectly, even with a sweater. I am returning it, but only because the color was not for me. The pearl-gray leaned toward gold-gray and not silver-gray or blue-gray. The color is super beautiful and has the nuance of a nice sheen, but it's for me; in this color I personally look washed-out. If you look great in more of a taupe-gray, this will look awesome on you. The online picture makes it look like it leans toward a blue-gray but it really does not. So I gave it five stars because it is perfect in every way but just not perfect for me.

I got medium and it fits perfect. I am a 6/8 in coats, more towards 8. I was worried abt the dune/tan color being the shade that washes me out as some beiges/sands do, but this was not bad at all. The color is great on me, I’m light tan.

I ordered this in “Nude”. A more accurate color descriptor would be “Blush”; it’s very much a pink color. I returned it in favor of a more traditional stone colored trench. But it is a beautiful coat, very well made with solid stitching on the buttons and lovely lining.

This coat is very beautiful especially in red. It fits perfectly to size. The style is exactly what I am looking for in a trench coat. It makes me happy when I wear it.

Material is good, good thickness for spring and fall. I'm 5'7, 118lb, xs is too small, I have to return even though I like it.

The coat is excellent quality and the style overall is great, but the nude color is not nude - it's very much pink. And not a nudish pink, just... pink. This would have been perfect in an actual nude/tan color.

I have been looking for basic black trench for a while. Picked this up on sale & I’m really happy with it. The fit is true to a hair snug, I live in a warm climate so not an issue for me. The buttons have some gold edging - would have preferred a more plain button but not a deal breaker for me. My arms are longer than average & sleeve is perfect for me. Overall happy with this purchase.

I bought this coat in Pearl, which is a classic stone gray color. I am 5’7”, 130 lbs, and almost reliably a size medium This fits perfectly and is flattering. The length is to the top of my knees, and works well with dresses and pants. The lining feels nice on bare skin. If I were to nit pick, I’d like a button at the top in addition to the hook, and an interior breast pocket, but overall, this coat is a winner and a keeper.

I wear a 12 or 14 and ordered this in large, but this coat was very tight in the shoulder area, even over just a t-shirt. Not roomy in the least. Going back.

I ordered both a M and L based on several reviewers saying the coat runs small. At 5’9, 145 lbs, I found my normal size medium fit very well. I tried it on wearing a sweater and still had freedom to move. I appreciate the nice long sleeves for my long arms. It’s a beautiful coat in a true red, vibrant and clear. The workmanship is very good. It’s nice to find a coat that’s not all polyester and in a mid-weight that makes it versatile for wear spring through fall. On sale it is an excellent value.

This is a nice coat, but I didn’t care for the fabric. It was also short-waisted on me so I returned it.
