I think it is a great color and looks amazing on you. I was wondering if the shedding would decrease so I'm happy that happened, white fuzz is quite annoying. I like the length, makes it feel more fun and oversized. I would make sure the pockets are accessible though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr/page/2#post-2211383 Thu, 22 Jul 2021 12:16:53 +0000 nemosmom 2211383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It doesn’t look too long to me; but I see the width (or pocket?) silhouette you mention. Are you wanting a more a-line fit? You might be able to find it, bit maybe at the expense of accessible (and large) pockets. I’ve regretted buying coats with dainty, shallow pockets that don’t fit my gloved hands…</p> <p>Agree with holding this one for a bit and taking another look in a week or two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr/page/2#post-2211352 Thu, 22 Jul 2021 08:14:36 +0000 lyn67 2211352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a faux fur because it is lightweight, isn't it! This one has a great cut in my opinion almost a barell and love how you styled it with lighter jeans but strong black accents, that cross body bag especially looks great, I say, KEEP as YLF in this! </p> <p>Came back to say, I wouldn't shorten or take in -think it looks quite good length and shape, too-and&nbsp; you'll keep moving in it so nobody will stare and measure-but is important to feel fab, and trust our own eyes-and feelings-so maybe trying one size down?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr/page/2#post-2211306 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 22:38:35 +0000 Irina 2211306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have about 30 days to return the coat. Thanks to your advices, I will let it stay for a while. I feel I need to step away and try again later to determine if the fit still bother me.<br /><b>Jonesy</b>, you are right, it is probably pockets. </p> <p><b>Missvee,&nbsp;</b>I’m waiting for my tailor to quote me on the price of sleeves shortening first.

The line between too-big-all-over and not-oversized-at-all is a very fine one when you’re borderline petite. My take is, if the cut is bothering you now it’s only going to bother you more in the long run. And it’s early enough in the season that other options will most likely turn up. I don’t know the Bay’s return policy; can you keep this one in the closet with tags on for a while so you can do side by side comparisons with other coats? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr/page/2#post-2211293 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 21:07:15 +0000 Jonesy 2211293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In looking at the pics again (bearing in mind the fit issues you've just raised) I am thinking the widest part of the coat is where the side-seam pockets are placed? These are going to be lower than hip height for everyone (since they are meant to be able to readily access with hands), so I don't think it looks odd or like the coat is 5" too long on you. The overall length looks really luxurious and fab to me, similar to the Max Mara teddy coat (see pic).</p> <p>If you lay the coat flat on its back, what does its shape look like? Normally cocoon coats are sort of egg-shaped, so the widest part is an incremental fullness through a large part of the body, rather than a jutting out at the hips (or below the hips, as yours is fitting you), if that makes any sense at all :). So my hunch is that the primary factor in what you're seeing is related to the side-seam pockets, not a bulging out below your hip because of the cocoon shape hitting you too low because of your height.</p> <p>However...if you are genuinely not happy with the fit and you keep it, if you are anything like me the perceived fit issue will gnaw at you and lessen your enjoyment of the coat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr/page/2#post-2211292 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 20:53:42 +0000 smittie 2211292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It doesn’t overwhelm you and I think it looks interesting, but not over-interesting, and certainly not blah.<br /> I really like how you’ve styled it here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr/page/2#post-2211291 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 20:52:50 +0000 Irina 2211291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Missvee,</b> I love this coat but I can see some fit issues. I’m trying to find out if this is me being a perfectionist or others can see it, too.Aiming for everything to be perfect is not the best attitude and it is something I struggle with often.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr/page/2#post-2211289 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 20:40:04 +0000 missvee 2211289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I really liked the style of the coat on you from the start, but if you are not happy with the fit then send it back. &nbsp;Shortening the sleeves and the length will make a difference, but I don’t see how it would affect the overall shape of the coat. &nbsp;The widest part will still be well below your hip won’t it? &nbsp;Maybe I’ve misunderstood your concerns. If so, just ignore me :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr/page/2#post-2211262 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 16:36:28 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2211262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I love it.

It means a lot to me!</p> <p>Update: I took the coat outside and shook it well. I rolled a lint brush over it after and found no fluff on a brush! I wore it with black jeans and had no issues. So, like many said, the fluff was there because the coat is new. So, that is sorted.<br />I still have doubts about the fit. The oversized style is not a problem for me, I rather like it. The problem with the fit is the shape and the length. It happens often when I buy a regular clothes, the widest (hips) part of the garment is below the wides part of my body by at least 5 inches. This creates folds as it can be seen on the buttoned coat in photos. And the length is also about 5 inches too long. Shortening might help with the shape but it will push the price point much higher since I also have to shorten sleeves, something that I have to do on all my coats.&nbsp;Winter outwear is a real challenge for me.<br />So, I don’t know - I really like the coat and hate the idea of letting it go. I love the color and texture, it fits my color palette, it’s a good quality brand that I can only afford at the sale price. Is it JFE and my expectations are unattainable giving my petite sizing?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr/page/2#post-2211224 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 11:47:31 +0000 ChristelJ 2211224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more who loves it.

I don't think it looks overwhelming. It looks intentionally oversized, not sloppy. The only thing that would bother me is the shedding. I once had a puffer that shed feathers, and I looked like I had been in a barn after I took my coat off, lol. But this is different from a puffer, obviously. I think that if you love the coat a lot, you'll find a way to deal with the shedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr/page/2#post-2211190 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 02:03:56 +0000 Irina 2211190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sloper</b>, the coat was delivered today and haven’t had the time to actually see how bad it sheds. I noticed it on a pair of wool black pants I tried it with. It’s like a kind of fluff that gets on top of black pants if worn with a light color cashmere sweater, I’m going to examine it tomorrow and run a lint brush over it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr/page/2#post-2211185 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 01:39:06 +0000 Sloper 2211185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just voting "yes" again for the oversized look.</p> <p>Have you tried running a lint roller on it to see how much comes off?

I was also thinking that the shedding might be limited, but that would give me pause. Are there online reviews? Hard to judge the head to coat factor without the head - but it looks good to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr#post-2211157 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 23:25:53 +0000 Sal 2211157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you.&nbsp; I have an oversized Faux Fur which is a lot of fun to wear.&nbsp; But do give yourself time to make the right decision - there are always more coats out there... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr#post-2211156 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 23:24:59 +0000 Irina 2211156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LisaP</b>, the coat is from the Bay.<br />Funny enough, my another order came in today, too.

My own experience with these coats is that the shedding stops . Also - big collar /small head issue actually looks good to my eye - allows you to wear a sleek beanie without feeling like a Yeti. Also - I don’t think one has to have all the complementary pieces in their wardrobe before buying a new coat . I think it’s actually fun to work on over a few seasons . Lastly , I often wear a small bag INSIDE my big faux fur coat . It works surprisingly well . Where did you find this beauty ?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr#post-2211130 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 21:56:58 +0000 rachylou 2211130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it unbuttoned.

I think it looks especially great when open or cinched with the cross body in the pics above. I was looking for a teddy coat in camel last year and ended up with a slightly adjacent boiled wool one from Jcrew in a slightly shorter length. Works for me because I didn't need anything quite so heavy as a true teddy. I think you'll like the bulk when it's dark and cool out! Hopefully the shedding subsides. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-coat---kr#post-2211113 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 20:45:37 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2211113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it- and I don't mind it with the black. </p>
