Beas Jacket

My husband said that this looks like a pea coat and it is certainly pea coat inspired. I was really looking for more of a blazer and this is not that. This is a lightweight coat. Here in the south, this could be your winter coat on all but the 3 really cold days we have in January. It is a fully lined wool coat and was heavier than I expected. The wool is light to medium weight made heavier by the full lining. However, it was way, way too small in the upper arms but big enough in the belly and bust, which is so odd and impossible to fix with tailoring. I've ordered several items direct from Universal Standard and have found in all of them that the sizing is unfortunately just weird. Who has a big bust and belly but tiny upper arms? Also, they are unfortunately drop shipping these items and, therefore, have the same delivery issues as ordering direct. It took 10 days for me to get this; 10-14 days seems to be the regular delivery time with Universal Standard. It is excellently constructed, which is why it gets three stars. So few plus sized clothes are. If you need a lighter weight winter coat, you might try ordering a size (or two) up and having it tailored.

This is a beautifully cut jacket in a medium coating weight. It is fully lined and will easily handle cool weather. This is not a blazer. It is definitely outer-wear. The cut is chic and unusual without being too trendy or too Junior. This US coat has sophistication and style. It is generously cut but not too voluminous. It's got shape. The sleeves are on the longer side which is great if you need them. If not you can always have them hemmed. US is expensive looking, quality clothing that is well made in excellent fabrics. It is fashion forward and has an edge. Wonderful company.

I measured and looked at Universal Standard's size chart before ordering. The body fit well, but the armholes are low and narrow, so the coat pulled when I moved my arms. Disappointed that the fit was so odd - the coat is lined and attractive, but it was uncomfortable to wear.

This jacket is two sizes too small, and is way shorter, at least on me, than it is on the model. A major disappointment. Also, at it's $230 price point, it's grossly overpriced.

Ordered a XS and it fit perfectly! Arms fell at correct length (just brushing tops of hands) and the pockets are at a great height. Bonus: this coat has an interior left breast pocket! A great addition to my work wardrobe, but can also be dressed down with joggers and a nice hoodie.

The coat is lovely - well made - heavy and a good style. Unfortunately it was too large overall.
