If you aren’t sure of either, then send them both back. I spent an awful lot of time raincoat-shopping this fall, after thinking about it for a couple years, wound up getting one that didn’t fit the description at all (other than length and waterproofing) and absolutely love it, have a twinkle in my eye whenever I wear it. The same thing may happen to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr/page/2#post-2247473 Tue, 11 Jan 2022 18:19:26 +0000 columbine(erin) 2247473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length of the olive coat for you&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr/page/2#post-2247323 Mon, 10 Jan 2022 16:30:48 +0000 cat2 2247323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the plaid fits better, but have found bathrobe style coats a PIA because they unwrap in the wind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr/page/2#post-2247279 Mon, 10 Jan 2022 03:42:59 +0000 Carla 2247279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of differing opinions! &nbsp;I like the way the plaid coat fits/looks on you in #1 and #2. &nbsp;Something looks off with the olive coat.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr/page/2#post-2247267 Mon, 10 Jan 2022 02:00:29 +0000 slim cat 2247267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I mostly love your white shacket - so cool!

Need to think about this. &nbsp; Maybe they both go back…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247232 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 21:50:27 +0000 Angie 2247232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Brooklyn</b> and <b>Suz</b> said. I prefer the fit and look of the navy plaid coat! Cream schacket looks KILLER :)</p> <p>Olive coat is pulling at the closure, and the button should be higher.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247231 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 21:36:19 +0000 Brooklyn 2247231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the plaid coat on you. It’s very distinctive and glam. But you should trust your own feelings. Love your shacket outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247226 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 19:20:46 +0000 Anonymous 2247226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recall that style has a bit of an asymmetric closure with how the button and lapel sits -no? It makes the button looks like it’s pulling a bit . I tried it on inspire and couldn’t wrap my head around the cut …… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247224 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 19:14:15 +0000 kkards 2247224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback. &nbsp;I prefer the olive coat, but was attracted to the plaid and wanted feedback because I was concerned that I was making the safe choice. &nbsp;I still really like the plaid, but I’m feeling that it’s not right for me, and many of your comments and observations confirmed that. &nbsp;Re the olive coat, interesting it looks to small. &nbsp;It doesn’t feel that way, but i’m going to try it again. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247220 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 18:10:28 +0000 LaPed 2247220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I kind of love the plaid but it is a lot! It's fun with the black/white boots. The olive coat doesn't look like a perfect fit -- maybe a bit tight? I hope Angie will chime in re: fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>And the white shacket is perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247207 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 15:01:43 +0000 Star (Lise) 2247207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer the olive.&nbsp; The plaid feels a bit too much.&nbsp; Probably just me projecting how I feel about patterns at the moment.&nbsp; I like <b>Helena's </b>idea with the plaid scarf :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247202 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 14:24:27 +0000 Helena 2247202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the olive ... But this could be my bias towards the understated. I think it will stand the test of time longer, bc even though buffalo check is a classic, it is also on trend r.n. so might feel a little off for a while when the trend fades ... Esp since it's such a strong statement on this coat.</p> <p>FWIW a buffalo check scarf would look fab with the olive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247193 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 13:42:26 +0000 Anonymous 2247193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the olive more. The high contrast and size of the plaid feels like a lot, since your coloring is low contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247189 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 13:06:27 +0000 Janet 2247189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the plaid coat — I think belted coats can be challenging but it looks really great on you. Something about the fit/button on the olive one seems off somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247186 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 12:27:57 +0000 JamC 2247186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t love either. There’s something off with the fit of them. And the pattern and color don’t seem like you. I understand the desire (not need) to add to your coat choices but I think you should be patient and wait for a coat you will love as much as your current J Crew coat! I would look again at J Crew; there might be something there. Maybe the classic lady coat (many colors) or how about Angie’s lodge coat in red? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247181 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 09:07:22 +0000 Minaminu 2247181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the olive coat, the colour is great on you and seems to be more in proportion with your body length. The check coat is too busy and too long, at least to my eyes!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247177 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 06:43:11 +0000 Bijou 2247177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of the plaid coat best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247154 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 01:38:52 +0000 Jaime 2247154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of the plaid coat better, but it seems like a bit too big a plaid for you if that makes sense. I would try it with low contrast boots.&nbsp; The olive coat looks good but is less special. Fun shacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247149 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 00:38:40 +0000 rachylou 2247149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shacket is phenomenal. I think the buffalo plaid looks a lot better on you than the olive but that the olive is probably easier to wear… no tie belt, close fitting… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247147 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 00:28:17 +0000 nemosmom 2247147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried sizing up on the olive for a slouchier fit? How does the Jcrew fit you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247143 Sat, 08 Jan 2022 23:38:29 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2247143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit of the plaid better, but I think that the checks are too large on your size of person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247137 Sat, 08 Jan 2022 22:32:50 +0000 Ginkgo 2247137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the olive best. &nbsp;The plaid coat seems overwhelming, that it's wearing you rather than the other way around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247135 Sat, 08 Jan 2022 22:28:46 +0000 Anonymous 2247135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both the check coat and the olive. &nbsp;Which will make the best statement in late winter? &nbsp;The buffalo check will stand out most in a sea of black coats but the olive may be a great little compromise and be just different enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247129 Sat, 08 Jan 2022 22:12:12 +0000 Suz 2247129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Belts on <b>wool </b>coats can be a pain because they work their way loose as you move and it's hard to double knot them. (I have no problems with belts on coats made of thinner fabric, e.g. a rain trench.)&nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp;I do love the buffalo check type pattern of the BR, though. I like the olive coat also. It is more similar in style to the J. Crew, which may be a consideration if you are after a change.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247123 Sat, 08 Jan 2022 21:51:10 +0000 JAileen 2247123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m all about plaid right now. &nbsp;But I hate belts on coats and always avoid them. &nbsp;The green one looks really nice, and is nearly all wool which is a plus in my book. &nbsp;I love the color. &nbsp;If you prefer the&nbsp;JCrew, I bet they will have that coat again next year, in new colors.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247122 Sat, 08 Jan 2022 21:48:42 +0000 kkards 2247122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisap the jcrew is actually navy, the BR is more black than what I have been buying recently&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247120 Sat, 08 Jan 2022 21:42:27 +0000 Anonymous 2247120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m a little confused - which coat is too much black ? I only see one black coat which I assume is your original JCrew?</p> <p>I like both the plaid and the olive ( although I’m not crazy about how that button closure is sitting ) , and because they are so different I’d be tempted to keep them both . I never did buy the Babaton wool blend overcoat despite being obsessed with it last fall . Love the shacket on you too ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247116 Sat, 08 Jan 2022 21:08:00 +0000 Jenni NZ 2247116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the three Finds your older J Crew looks the most classy to me. Of the 2 newer ones I far prefer the olive. The plaid one with its tie looks too much like a dressing gown to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-off-kr#post-2247114 Sat, 08 Jan 2022 20:54:56 +0000 nemosmom 2247114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look great on you and I could see them working equally well with your wardrobe. </p> <p>But, if I had to choose only one, I vote olive and NOT just because it is green! I actually love the pattern of the plaid on you, and that collar - but the thing that gives me pause is the belt closure. For ME - the tie/belt can be super fussy, and can wiggle loose as I walk. I am not a fan. </p> <p>Aritzia’s coats and jackets have been workhorses for me (I have the shacket in brown!), so that would be another tick in favor of the olive. What is the composition of the BR one? I’d look at that, too. </p>
