I think this one might not be warm enough, because it is boiled wool. Lands End sorts them into categories and this one is supposed to be for warmer temperatures compared to the peacoat I have been wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat/page/2#post-1381017 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 17:54:54 +0000 Angie 1381017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You need a petite AND side entry pockets.&nbsp;</p> <p>How about this one:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-boiled-wool-walker-coat/id_274225">http://www.landsend.com/produc...../id_274225</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat/page/2#post-1380971 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 16:36:35 +0000 Astrid 1380971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Scarlet.... great to "see" you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat/page/2#post-1380966 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 16:32:57 +0000 Scarlet 1380966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a bummer, Astrid. I really don't see anything wrong with the pleat, but if you don't feel good, that's how it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1380959 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 16:27:33 +0000 Astrid 1380959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, both of the ones I haven't tried yet don't have those. Maybe I need to have another look in B&amp;M stores this weekend.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1380955 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 16:25:32 +0000 Angie 1380955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does it have side entry pockets?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1380943 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 16:08:49 +0000 Astrid 1380943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie. There aren't that many options left, the other one I first posted above and also this one:<br /><a href="http://www.landsend.de/de_DE/Luxe-Stehkragenmantel-fuer-Damen/pp/P_28656.html?cgid=3743" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.de/de_DE/L.....?cgid=3743</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1380939 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 16:05:38 +0000 Astrid 1380939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rabbit. I guess I might be more sensitive to that pleat because of my pear shape - but I just think it makes me look huge. And I feel the coat has a very "sweet" vibe even without that pleat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1380938 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 16:04:20 +0000 Angie 1380938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back it goes. Lets try another petite coat from LE. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1380918 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:48:11 +0000 rabbit 1380918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually find the back pleat flattering, it's something I like in some coats, as it gives a bit more of a feminine vibe. &nbsp;I understand if it's awkward to sit on.&nbsp; I'm drawn to the redder color on you. &nbsp; Best of luck in your continued search.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1380917 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:47:37 +0000 Astrid 1380917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie. I'm not a fan, sorry. When I put my hands into the pockets the pleat makes me look as if I have something like a four size difference between top and bottom half.</p> <p>Thanks Catseye.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1380914 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:46:42 +0000 catseye 1380914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pleat too. Cannot see anything wrong there.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1380910 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:41:43 +0000 Angie 1380910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the coat - and the back pleat. It's practical actually. More room.&nbsp;The fit is <b>perfect</b>.&nbsp;Sorry the pleat&nbsp;bothers you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1380908 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:39:01 +0000 Astrid 1380908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks abc...</p> <p>Thanks Alasse! I agree, the fit is really good on top, the shoulders fit and it's not too roomy. The issue with the pleat might not be as visible in the pictures, but it did bother me immensely IRL as soon as I put the coat on. </p> <p>Thanks Liz. I guess that would be possible, but I don't think my usual place would do it, so it would definitely add some expense. Not sure I'd want to go that route.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1380906 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:38:00 +0000 Liz 1380906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to see what's wrong with the pleat and not coming up with anything. But if you don't like it, then it's on to the next coat. (However, if you love the coat otherwise, and find coats very difficult to find, could you take it to a tailor and have part or all of the pleat sewn shut?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1380903 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:32:39 +0000 Alassë 1380903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that's a great fit &amp; length on you, Astrid. The pleat doesn't bother me, though you know best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1380887 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:06:21 +0000 abc 1380887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So bummed. I really liked this one a lot for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1380885 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:01:56 +0000 Astrid 1380885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, they arrived and the size worked out great - but that awful pleat in the back just&nbsp; kills it. It just looks strange and when I put my hands in the pockets the pleat does things that look very <i>Cul de Paris</i>. Definitely a no-go.</p> <p>Oh and the raspberry color was actually rather lovely, not a red but a true pink. The white balance was off, so it looks very red in the pic. </p> <p>Too bad this coat didn't work out either... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1378108 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 23:24:18 +0000 Astrid 1378108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Thimblelina, Carter and Sveta! If the fit works out you all have to help me decide which color to keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1378102 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 23:20:58 +0000 Sveta 1378102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The raspberry with the pleat on the back just screams "Astrid" to me somehow </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1378098 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 23:15:24 +0000 carter 1378098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES to raspberry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1378094 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 23:14:22 +0000 thimblelina 1378094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both the black and purple are lovely. Is that what they call a princess cut? Boden always does a coat like this too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1378086 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 23:09:56 +0000 Astrid 1378086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Eva! I'm not getting the teal, I have too many greens in my wardrobe that would clash with it I think. </p> <p>Thanks Mellllls! I've just ordered both colors. Fingers crossed the fit works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1378071 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:56:50 +0000 Mellllls 1378071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i vote for the purple one. &nbsp;what a fabulous color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1378068 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:54:55 +0000 E 1378068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh fun! I love the teal option on the second one &amp; can't wait to see you modelling one of these. I hope it's your coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1378056 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:50:20 +0000 Astrid 1378056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Caro! I'm thinking of just ordering both colors to have the direct comparison. The raspberry looks lovely, but also quite intense on my screen. It could be too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1378051 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:44:42 +0000 Caro in Oz 1378051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Angie - I like the pleaat at the back too - it gives a better fit over fuller skirts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1378020 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:00:26 +0000 Astrid 1378020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texstyle, no it doesn't. It has those flap style pockets the other coat I tried had too. Totally unsuitable to put your hands into.</p> <p>Thanks Angie! Might be the more interesting color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1378015 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:51:47 +0000 Angie 1378015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not that I can see,&nbsp;Texstyle.&nbsp;</p> <p>Astrid, I'm going to be a devil and vote for the raspberry.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-all-another-le-coat#post-1378014 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:50:06 +0000 texstyle 1378014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one has side entry pockets as well doesn't it? </p>
