My two sizes of the red Lands End puffer coat arrived today...very strange trying on a winter coat in the summer!

In Winnipeg, it's absolutely essential to be able to layer on those bitterly cold days so I popped on my thickest blazer underneath the coat to make sure it could zip comfortably and have good shoulder movement, with no tightness across the chest or back.

I ordered both the Petite Medium and the Petite Large. First off, absolutely love the rich red colour. Secondly, I could have tucked both my kitty cats in with me in the large - it was huge. So the two pictures you see are me in the Petite Medium. The fit is perfect - good movement but no excessive fabric. Sleeves are a good length as well. Very comfortable and I like the adjustable inner elastic. With the blazer underneath, a Petite Small would be much too tight.

I apologize for the photos - my camera battery died after two pics so I'm not able to provide you with a side or back shot. I hope you can get the idea from these two photos. Also picture it with winter boots.

Personally, I think it's a keeper but am interested in your feedback.

ETA: Put new batteries in camera and have added a couple of more shots to show back and side.
