Ultralight Packable Long Down Coat

This “in between” coat is exactly what I was looking for. I’m 5’9 (130lbs), got the size S-tall, and it fits perfectly. I love that it’s light enough to stuff in my backpack for days when my commute home is warmer than my commute into the office. There is no shedding of feathers. The only thing it needs is an inside breast pocket.

I wanted to love this coat for an upcoming trip to Europe in the fall. I got a small regular. I am 5’7, 34 DD chest, size 4-6 in almost every brand. I wanted to wear this coat with a cashmere sweater or regular sweatshirt underneath. Something thicker than a long sleeve shirt and thinner than a hoodie. I can’t do that in this coat because the cut is so fitted. The chest was fine. I would have liked the sleeves to be 1-2 inches longer. But the arms and hip were 1” too small. I can’t just throw this on and know it will work with a few thin layers. I thought about buying a Tall medium but they don’t have the burgundy in that cut. But the last straw was the pockets. TINY and SHALLOW. Like tween hands TINY and can’t fit a normal phone without stopping, carefully wedging it in, etc. The placement was weird too. Again I want to be able to throw my phone in without any fuss and have some deep pockets. Sadly returned.
