YES! I did notice that coat and think it is beautiful and was actually considering. I may ask Angie about it. I do worry that it is shorter than I might wish. But it looks fantastic and reviews are positive. It's a bit more casual than I am hoping for, and yet it would be such a useful item that I am tempted.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1/page/2#post-1824877 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 12:42:56 +0000 Tammyb 1824877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love what Angie said about "precious".

Just wanted to make sure you saw it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824570 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 14:11:28 +0000 Suz 1824570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, <b>Angie</b>!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824566 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 13:55:32 +0000 Angie 1824566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think size 4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824558 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 13:40:31 +0000 Suz 1824558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b>, thank you.

I really do love the idea of a high quality pea coat. I'll just have to decide if the whole budget is going to go there. Other than undies, that is. I really really need the jeans and boots, so... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824200 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:52:47 +0000 Diana 1824200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Burberry actually runs TTS for me, surprisingly, although some styles are too narrow in the hips for me no matter what.&nbsp; </p> (Make sure you check whether the sizing is british or american though.&nbsp; Mine has both on the label.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824193 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:43:40 +0000 Beth 1824193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I have a shorter cotton/wool Burberry with a pleated back similar to this one. My version has a nifty hidden tab that buttons the middle pleat together and keeps the back view nice and neat. Maybe the NAS version has one too?</p> <p>Also, in my limited experience, Burberry runs small/narrow.</p> <p>Added a picture to show you what it looks like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824188 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:36:24 +0000 Tanya 1824188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a gorgeous coat, Suz, and has lots of potential. You have to at least try it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824183 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:32:18 +0000 Diana 1824183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's beautiful, and I really hope you get to try it.&nbsp; I have a Burberry wool coat and love it (mine is a longer trench style).&nbsp; I think you get over the "too precious" thing pretty quickly.&nbsp; Somewhere around here there is a picture of me wearing mine in a snowstorm at a YLF meetup. ;)</p> <p>The item description says 30" which on me (and you too, I should think) would definitely cover my bum.&nbsp; I think that's the right length for a peacoat.</p> <p>I think the collar is well-proportioned (as is the length).&nbsp; That's the thing about Burberry, they do proportions so well; it's little things you don't think about like where the decorative buttons and flaps are located, that really make it look a notch above the rest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824177 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:19:39 +0000 Anonymous 1824177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz: your lilac coat reminds me that I really liked the quality of the jcrew coats too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824175 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:15:45 +0000 Suz 1824175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right, but the one issue for those of us with curvy bums...it has a bunch of pleats in the back. It's really touch and go whether that would work for me. Another reason to try in person, if possible. I also have no idea about Burberry sizing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824171 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:11:37 +0000 Anonymous 1824171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...Cherylm: stop selling me this coat! I have a very large head! It should work!</p> <p>The Trina Turk coat from last year flared out, and that was what I wasn't sure about (well that and the black colour).</p> <p>With this coat, it is straight up and down, which makes it less maximal to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824168 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:07:47 +0000 Suz 1824168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cherylm</b>, that's great information, thank you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm short (5'4") but have a large head. I tend to like dramatic collars even though some on the forum have commented at times that they are too much for me. (Some of my coats, below). But a lot of detail might be a problem for sure.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Smittie,</b> I feel the same about its length. One reason I liked my older (very cheap from Winner's VC coat) is it is a bit longer than a traditional pea coat, more like a car coat.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824164 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:03:48 +0000 cherylm 1824164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Burberry coat is gorgeous - I am looking for a non-black non-gear winter coat so tried it on. It is very maximal - large collar and all the detail swallowed me up but I have a small head and need to accept the fact that I am short . On someone taller without a peanut head, it is beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824157 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:01:10 +0000 Anonymous 1824157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think things come back in stock quite often. I wouldn't give up!<br /> This coat ticks most boxes for me, but there are two issues :<br /> - length - it seems awfully short, but maybe that's just on the tall model?<br /> - price - of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824146 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:48:45 +0000 Suz 1824146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it appears the question is moot because it's sold out! Ah well. I hesitated because I don't know my size, because the price, because because... &nbsp;anyway. I may put a call in to the Toronto store and see if they will have it at the sale. But it may not be my time yet.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, that is a great question. If an item is an&nbsp;<b>essential for me</b>&nbsp;<b></b>style<b></b>, I never treat it as too precious. I'll wear it to the ground. My Reiss blazer is a perfect example. I am sorry to say it is starting to show a little shine at the cuffs and inside sleeves....but to me, that is a sign of what a great purchase it was. It may have been pricey, and was (in fact it was the most expensive clothing item I'd ever bought, to that point) but I <b>wear </b>that baby!</p> <p>The only times I orphan expensive items are when they turn out not to be staples for me -- like my gilet, alas. (Note -- not saying I regret that purchase -- I love it! But I can guarantee that the Burberry coat, or one in that style, if it fit and looked good, would be worn more often in a single year than I might wear the gilet in 10.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824144 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:47:22 +0000 Joyce B 1824144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I see, I have done that type of a thing, I feel like taking care of it so it lasts longer and then I did not wear it when it was in style... that's bad, I will keep your comments in mind although I don't have any Burberry unfortunately... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824136 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:42:08 +0000 Beth 1824136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotcha! There's definitely no "leaving it for good." Shoot, I'd wear that thing to bed if it was in my closet.</p> <p>It looks like it's already sold out, but Suz, you would look amazing in this. Stalk it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824132 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:40:19 +0000 Bijou 1824132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce I understand what Angie means because I have been 'precious' about items, and have subsequently regretted the purchase because of this. What it means is that you think it is too good to wear and save it for special occasions, and not get the wear out of it that you should. Burberry coats are well made so they can and should be wardrobe workhorses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824128 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:39:03 +0000 Angie 1824128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure, Beth. Why not!</p> <p>Joyce, Suz *might* want to "leave it for good" because it's a Burberry. That's being precious with it. But Suz needs an ink coat workhorse - so I'm asking the question.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-coat-1#post-1824116 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:32:28 +0000 Joyce B 1824116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That coat is gorgeous! Looks sold-out.</p> <p>-Angie, what would make it precious? I am not even sure about what that means... </p>
