If only the green came in petite. Is it scratchy? and any advice on sizing? I'm typically a 4P top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-north-face-apex-bionic-grace-halogen-boiled-wool-assymetric#post-1941045 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 01:48:25 +0000 Suz 1941045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I liked the green, grey, and berry colours of that asymmetrical coat!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-north-face-apex-bionic-grace-halogen-boiled-wool-assymetric#post-1941042 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 01:37:23 +0000 Teresa 1941042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Liz, I agree, the medium felt larger than other NF mediums I've had--for instance, the Thermoball parka.</p> <p>Joy, you're killing me about the bird poop logo, I know I'll think that from now on!&nbsp; It is better when the logo is the same color as the coat, for sure.&nbsp; I would think the asymmetric coat would be fab on you, either in gray or one of the other colors.&nbsp; I took a small in that one, FYI, and I think it's pretty roomy.&nbsp; Not sure what your climate is, but it should be fine for our 40-50 degree winter days with a sweater under it.</p> <p>Kate, I agree, the green really looks pretty in the asymmetric coat...I thought that the berry color was nice too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-north-face-apex-bionic-grace-halogen-boiled-wool-assymetric#post-1941034 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 01:19:18 +0000 Anonymous 1941034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both coats look wonderful for your climate.&nbsp; I usually don't even look at North Face because so many have the logo/bird poop spot that I can't not see but this one looks like it avoided the bird.&nbsp; The rich colors will be good for those who wear them well.&nbsp; I love the assymetrical button line of the Halogen coat and am tempted as our winters are not all that cold unless one goes to the mountains.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-north-face-apex-bionic-grace-halogen-boiled-wool-assymetric#post-1941015 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 00:20:40 +0000 Liz A. 1941015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered the NF jacket too.&nbsp; I normally wear a medium in coats with my wide shoulders being the pain point.&nbsp; The medium is huge, but the small is tight in the shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-north-face-apex-bionic-grace-halogen-boiled-wool-assymetric#post-1941012 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 00:11:31 +0000 Kate 1941012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful coats. I love that NF jacket on you. The gray is great as well. I'm sorry I clicked on the find, because that jacket in green is rather alluring. Must resist! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-north-face-apex-bionic-grace-halogen-boiled-wool-assymetric#post-1941007 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 23:41:12 +0000 Teresa 1941007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the kind words! And Suz, thanks for posting the finds, I couldn’t figure out how to do that since I’m a posting newb:). I should have added, the North Face coat has really long sleeves—I don’t have particularly short arms and they are too long, so I’ll likely have them altered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-north-face-apex-bionic-grace-halogen-boiled-wool-assymetric#post-1940998 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 23:11:51 +0000 kkards 1940998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that the north face jacket has a belt buckle adjustment. Fits well... but that asymmetrical jacket is stunning! Great finds </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-north-face-apex-bionic-grace-halogen-boiled-wool-assymetric#post-1940997 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 23:08:33 +0000 LaPed 1940997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both!

I love the cut of the Halogen coat too. Very interesting and versatile choices! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-north-face-apex-bionic-grace-halogen-boiled-wool-assymetric#post-1940982 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 22:44:56 +0000 Suz 1940982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those coats look sensational on you. The Apex Grace is a terrific coat for the PNW and I am tempted to get it myself with my move coming up. The asymmetrical coat is just lovely! Much nicer on you than in pictures!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-north-face-apex-bionic-grace-halogen-boiled-wool-assymetric#post-1940974 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 22:12:22 +0000 Anonymous 1940974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY. &nbsp;I too particularly like the Northface on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-north-face-apex-bionic-grace-halogen-boiled-wool-assymetric#post-1940969 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 22:01:30 +0000 KnittingGene 1940969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I particularly like the Northface jacket. It looks perfect on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-north-face-apex-bionic-grace-halogen-boiled-wool-assymetric#post-1940967 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 21:52:04 +0000 Kathie 1940967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are both lovely on you . Congratulations on your finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-north-face-apex-bionic-grace-halogen-boiled-wool-assymetric#post-1940949 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 21:19:30 +0000 Teresa 1940949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My goal for this year’s NAS was an all purpose but stylish coat for the rainy and fairly mild winters here in the PNW. That can be a tall order.</p> <p>I ordered so many coats! And am surprising myself by keeping two. Online, the North Face Apex Bionic Grace coat didn’t look like much, but in person it is a trim fitting, comfortable coat. I like that the hood is removable, since I often prefer to wear a hat. It’s soft, flexible, and a beautiful shade of blue. It has a buckle detail at the waist if you need to cinch it in. Normally, I’d need a Medium to accommodate my chest, and then the rest of the coat would be looser than I like—this time, a small fit perfectly with room for my chest in a sweater. (Sorry for my dirty mirror in the photos!)</p> <p>The other coat is less of a slam dunk for the rain, but I love it. It’s lined, lightweight, fits perfectly, and the gray is a lovely color. The funnel collar is a favorite of mine. The price is fantastic, in my opinion. I saw the black version in the store and I didn’t think the fabric looked nearly as nice as it does in the gray, FYI. </p>
