John W. Nordstrom® Hudson Wool Car Coat

This coat has a great look and fits me well. Because it goes below the waist the zipper is kind of long. I have to reach for the bottom of the zipper to get it started. The coat is very smooth to the touch and keeps me very warm. I think I will be using this coat for a long time.

For those wondering about sizing, I'm 5'11" and 190lbs and mostly fit and the large was massive on me, like a kid in dad's coat. I exchanged it for the medium and it's a good but not great fit. The coat is still a touch large. I wish it was a slimmer cut. But it's a nice coat. Feels well made, lots of pockets, and looks very nice worn open with a scarf.

You will be hard pressed to find a 100% wool car coat these days for a reasonable price. I'm 6'4" 215 lbs and the XL fits me perfect with room for a sweater underneath. Looks great casual or dressed up. I wear it for weather below 40 degs.

This coat is amazing at the Black Friday price. It is true to size. I'm a size large (5'11" and weigh 195 with an athletic body) and this fits me exquisitely in the body with a little room to spare. If you have a soft and rotund middle area, this coat will fit well as there is ample room in the stomach area. Moreover, the coat is soft and provides room to wear a sweater or blazer underneath. What I'm not thrilled about is that the sleeve length is a little long. I'm a true 34 inch sleeve length and the sleeves seem to be about 35 or 36 inch in length (hence the deduction from 5 to 4 stars). I purchased a charcoal gray and it looks simply amazing. Very sophisticated look that can be dressed up with a suit or dresses down with a sweater and jeans. I'd purchase again and recommend you don't hesitate on pushing the purchase button. Just plan to have the sleeves shortened if your sleeve length is 34" or less.

I don't write a lot of reviews, but I was compelled to write this one. First, I love the jacket. It is warm and stylish. I love the combined zipper and button closure in the front. It also has very nice grey accents on the inside. I am very pleased. From a sizing standpoint, I am 48 years old, 5'9", 155 lbs. I ordered both a small and a medium as I always seem to be between the two sizes. The medium was just too big... too long in the body and sleeves and way too much room on the inside. The small is perfect and looks fitted and sleek. I've worn the coat for a couple weeks now and it is breaking in nicely and continues to look great. Again, I am pleased. One final thought. This is my first online purchase with Nordstrom. I found the company very helpful and friendly. Love the free shipping and returns. I ended up getting a Nordstrom card. They have a new customer. Thanks!

I purchased this fine coat last year and posted a very positive review. There were also about 25 other good reviews posted by other folks. Where are they? They may help a purchaser make a decision.
