You will simply never go cold in the long ones. My dog-walking coat of choice. I have one going on 10 years now and it's still going strong, although I get a button re-attached annually and the lining is starting to get small holes in it. My short one I just retired after about 11 years and I probably could have gotten some more time out of it, but it was starting to show its age. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-word-on-soia-kyo-puffers#post-2090233 Mon, 06 Jan 2020 18:45:47 +0000 Anonymous 2090233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the warning! They look really nice, but sounds like they wouldn't work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-word-on-soia-kyo-puffers#post-2090230 Mon, 06 Jan 2020 18:36:02 +0000 bj1111 2090230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have a light weight one.&nbsp; i have to say, the quality was not what i had expected.&nbsp; lots of shedding feathers which suggests that the fabric weave is not tight enough.</p> <p>also, it's not warm enough, though it probably was meant as a transition coat for the north or balmier winters than the upper midwest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-word-on-soia-kyo-puffers#post-2089403 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 00:47:41 +0000 Roxanna 2089403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree - I find them small and made for straighter figures. Though the style that I have is a bit different and accommodates my hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-word-on-soia-kyo-puffers#post-2089401 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 00:26:25 +0000 Anonymous 2089401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an S and K trench that is lovely but I have definite IT tendencies and it is not a comfortable fit. T figure is bSically straight but the shoulders are wide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-word-on-soia-kyo-puffers#post-2089380 Fri, 03 Jan 2020 23:07:05 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2089380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a S&amp;K puffer. I also definitely have the IT shoulders going on. I did size up one at the time, as I recall; I think Angie and I have the same navy one bought at Nordstrom 3-4 year ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-word-on-soia-kyo-puffers#post-2089316 Fri, 03 Jan 2020 18:49:53 +0000 Angie 2089316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I exactly echo what <b>Nuancedream</b> said.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-word-on-soia-kyo-puffers#post-2089312 Fri, 03 Jan 2020 18:43:44 +0000 Jules 2089312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nvm, I posted something incorrect re: their sizing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-word-on-soia-kyo-puffers#post-2089308 Fri, 03 Jan 2020 18:13:55 +0000 nuancedream 2089308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchased a S &amp; K puffer several months ago. As mentioned, the quality is impeccable. I found S &amp;K to fit TTS, at least for me. On the other hand, I concur with Janet's assessment that the brand may be friendlier to more narrow or straight figure types. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-word-on-soia-kyo-puffers#post-2089298 Fri, 03 Jan 2020 17:30:11 +0000 Janet 2089298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried a S&amp;K puffer once and I think I remember it being too tight in the hips? Or the chest? So a brand that is more friendly to overall narrower figures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-word-on-soia-kyo-puffers#post-2089295 Fri, 03 Jan 2020 17:24:41 +0000 Synne 2089295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wondering if the same issue applies to Helly Hansen puffers. Very tight shoulders, and proportionally wide waist and hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-word-on-soia-kyo-puffers#post-2089294 Fri, 03 Jan 2020 17:24:08 +0000 kkards 2089294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bummer! but on the other hand, someone who needs it will get a nice new warm winter coat </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-word-on-soia-kyo-puffers#post-2089286 Fri, 03 Jan 2020 17:09:56 +0000 April 2089286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Angie noted, this brand has *stunning* quality.&nbsp; Beautifully made, and about as fashionable as puffers get.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>If you don't have dainty shoulders, however, you will have to size up enough times that the fit may not make sense.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I just added -- with great regret -- my own S&amp;K puffer to the donate pile because in spite of returning a smaller one for the next largest size, the shoulders are just too tight on me.&nbsp; :(</p> <p> </p>
