Great fit on you!<br /> I also like the nipped in waist of the TT coat. The shape is nice on you.<br /> TNF looks great in the S, but it's worth it to try the XS.</p> <p>I would use the TNF jacket in early fall and late spring, so mid-September to late-October and then again in May with a medium weight sweater under it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-reviews-fcuk-tnf-tt-and-cole-haan#post-1703565 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 14:15:40 +0000 Angie 1703565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The TT coat and leather jacket are Killer, and my faves on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-reviews-fcuk-tnf-tt-and-cole-haan#post-1703521 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 12:43:52 +0000 chouette22 1703521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both, the FC and the TT on you. True, the sleeves of the TT fit much better, but that is an easy (and cheap) alteration. In the end, it just depends on how much you want to spend on a coat?&nbsp;<div>NF doesn't <i>look</i> too big, but it's good to compare to the XS.&nbsp;</div><div>The leather jacket fits you so perfectly and it's a classic shape, that would be hard for me to pass up too. I am in Michigan as well, and it just depends on your commute: from car to work they can be worn quite a bit, I find. If you have to be outside for longer, then their usefulness is more questionable.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-reviews-fcuk-tnf-tt-and-cole-haan#post-1703473 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 10:59:44 +0000 Banoffi 1703473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz and Catseye - thanks for the feedback. You both have an amazing memory! I did buy the Burberry peacoat during last year's NAS, but I ended up returning it as a number of you on YLF noticed it was pulling in the front. I thought for the price tag, the coat should fit perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-reviews-fcuk-tnf-tt-and-cole-haan#post-1703444 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 07:42:24 +0000 Suz 1703444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Catseye, I was wondering about that, too! But I think the Burberry is a much lighter weight coat, not winter weight? (Or at least not winter in Michigan weight). Unless I am mistaken.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-reviews-fcuk-tnf-tt-and-cole-haan#post-1703386 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 04:19:11 +0000 catseye 1703386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't you have a Burberry peacoat? The FC coat may be too similar to it?</p> <p>I love the TNF and TT coats on you. The leather jacket is fab too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-reviews-fcuk-tnf-tt-and-cole-haan#post-1703308 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 02:49:25 +0000 Suz 1703308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH, and the leather is gorgeous!! It looks really soft. Did you try to make some outfits with it? I know the guilty pleasures of leather coats when you don't really have a season for wearing them. I do wear some of mine indoors as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-reviews-fcuk-tnf-tt-and-cole-haan#post-1703307 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 02:48:37 +0000 Suz 1703307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well. All of these look great on you, but it does look like the TT is the easiest to deal with providing you can layer as you wish. Are the shoulders right on it? They look a bit puffed up or something but it may be that they won't be when you have normal winter layers beneath. I really love that coat -- it's so sharp.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also adore the NF on you. That is such a happy colour and you look great in it! Did you see how Smittie layered the orange puffer under the TT coat? it looked adorable! The puffer is not a full winter weight puffer for my climate or I think yours -- but would be great to wear until it gets bitterly cold, if you know what I mean. Or layered. It's a gear coat so if you were in motion the whole time it might be warm enough for longer in the season. I can imagine wearing it on my daily walks but not when it got to -20C.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the peacoats on you, too -- but it seems the TT is the way to go here.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-reviews-fcuk-tnf-tt-and-cole-haan#post-1703283 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 02:25:56 +0000 Banoffi 1703283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Retailgirl - thanks for letting me know about the sleeves. I don't sew and never know if something is an easy alteration or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-reviews-fcuk-tnf-tt-and-cole-haan#post-1703217 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 00:58:13 +0000 retailgirl 1703217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re: the FC Peacoat...it should be easy for a tailor to shorten the sleeves. The strap is just sewn into the seam. I have LONG arms, so it was perfect for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-reviews-fcuk-tnf-tt-and-cole-haan#post-1703205 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 00:42:29 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1703205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Trina Turk the best among these, but you should see how it looks with a sweater and any required under layers to be sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-reviews-fcuk-tnf-tt-and-cole-haan#post-1703193 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 00:35:53 +0000 Banoffi 1703193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pile of boxes waiting for me when I arrived home this evening (thank goodness I got home before my husband!), all of them containing coats. &nbsp;I quickly tried them on, but didn't have time to style them as I had to get dinner made; I just put them on over what I wore to work today.</p> <p>Photos #1-3: &nbsp;French Connection peacoat in blue, size 4. &nbsp;This seems a bit big, but I am only wearing a sleeveless top under it. &nbsp;It's also long in the arms (as expected - I'm 5'2"); I'm not sure how easy it would be to shorten the sleeves. The coat seems very well made for the price.</p> <p>Photos #4-6: &nbsp;French Connection peacoat in black, size 4. &nbsp;This may be a tad smaller than the blue one, but nothing significant. It is also long in the sleeves. Both peacoats smelled awful as they were hot (sitting in a UPS all day in 90 degree heat).</p> <p>Photos #7-9: &nbsp;The North Face parka in size S. &nbsp;I love the color of this parka! &nbsp;It is not as shiny as I expected it to be. I am amazed at how lightweight it is, but wonder how warm it will be in the winter (anyone know?). &nbsp;This is quite roomy, so I am eagerly awaiting the size XS to arrive for comparison.</p> <p> <div>Photos #10-13: &nbsp;Trina Turk Military coat in size P4. &nbsp;This fits much better than the P6 I tried on last week. &nbsp;I am not, however, wearing anything bulky underneath, so need to check out how it fits with some lighter-weight winter layers. &nbsp;I think I will keep this coat over either French Connection ones as the petite sizing works much better on me and I won't have to deal with pricey alterations. </p> <p>Photos #14-16: &nbsp;Cole Haan lambskin leather jacket in size P4. &nbsp;This wasn't part of NAS, but I found it on sale on the website when browsing. &nbsp;I think it was the last one left, and it was 40% off. I don't *need* another leather jacket, but it's so rare to find a nice one in petite sizing. &nbsp;The leather is wonderfully soft. &nbsp;I live in Michigan, so the lightweight leather jacket season is very short. &nbsp;It seems to go from hot and steamy to cold and snowy here in a matter of weeks...</p> </div></p>
