The jeans and a skirt wore surprisingly well, so I would concur about their wovens. The sweaters were disasters, they promptly fell apart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-camel-coat#post-2156313 Thu, 26 Nov 2020 16:15:09 +0000 rachylou 2156313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That IS your coat!

But, in the last few years&nbsp;I have found 1 jacket and 2 coats at H&amp;M in regular sizes that worked well! Then I can try on regular sizes in other stores and NEVER find any that work. Go figure! (On the other hand I've stopped looking at H&amp;M Sweaters, they last about 4 wears and then look awful).&nbsp;Good point about the sleeve lengths and body lengths. I know exactly what you mean about shortening a long garment can make it go from great to stellar. If a little more of my leg was showing it might do just that.&nbsp; I&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Shevia</b> thanks and good comment about the brown with jeans. Jeans are such a big part of my wardrobe so this color is&nbsp;a perfect addition. </p> <p>Hah, <b>Bijou</b>, anything that makes me look taller I'll take! </p> <p><b></b>Thanks<b> Lynn,</b> interesting comment about H&amp;M (and Zara) sometimes making items that last a long time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-camel-coat#post-2156284 Thu, 26 Nov 2020 12:56:48 +0000 Lynne 2156284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, well done! I noticed in the OBGs (Oldies But Goodies) posts that Zara and H&amp;M were well represented! I have some H&amp;M shirts that are coming up for 10 years and they're in regular use. I personally would shorten the sleeves a little, but like Angie said, if you prefer warmer hands this length is good :)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-camel-coat#post-2156283 Thu, 26 Nov 2020 12:45:53 +0000 kkards 2156283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice...leave no retail stone unturned....i love finding things in unexpected places.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-camel-coat#post-2156275 Thu, 26 Nov 2020 09:06:26 +0000 Jessikams 2156275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so great!

Camel is a stunning colour on you and the fit is fabulous. The power of Angie's mantra, leave no retail stone unturned - these two coats are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-camel-coat#post-2156256 Thu, 26 Nov 2020 02:30:34 +0000 Jaime 2156256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I have seen a lot of longer lengths in my travels around the internet and this looks good to me. Love the color against the blue of the jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-camel-coat#post-2156242 Wed, 25 Nov 2020 23:10:43 +0000 Gigi 2156242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great find! Coats can be tough for petites!</p> <p>As far as the length of the sleeves, I would experiment with rolling the sleeves up a little on the inside and seeing if you like the look better. You can still leave them a little on the long side. Even taking off just an inch might "lighten" the overall look but give you enough length.</p> <p>For the coat length, if it were me, I would probably fold up the coat on the inside and pin it and see if the proportions make me happier. As a fellow petite, I have often been shocked to see a nice-looking piece become a stellar-looking piece once some proportions have been changed. Right now, the coat looks good, but maybe with a few inches taken off, it would look even better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-camel-coat#post-2156230 Wed, 25 Nov 2020 20:38:07 +0000 Style Fan 2156230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great find for you, Chris!&nbsp; Camel is a beautiful colour.&nbsp; I love the wrap style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-camel-coat#post-2156227 Wed, 25 Nov 2020 19:41:41 +0000 Minaminu 2156227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great find! you look fab in this coat!

I love to duplicate in a second color&nbsp;when I find something that works well enough to do so.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Suntiger</b> I seem to recall that the reviews said it runs really big, so you'd certainly need a smaller size than the small that fits me, if I'm remembering your sizing accurately.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-camel-coat#post-2156212 Wed, 25 Nov 2020 17:32:15 +0000 Anonymous 2156212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh ok- xl too big for me and definitely want brown.

I have worn it a few times&nbsp;and am watching to see if it's annoying getting in and out of cars but so far it's fine. </p> <p>Thanks <b>lisa p </b>and <b>slim cat</b></p> <p><b>Jaileen</b> EXACTLY - long straight wrap&nbsp; coats DO often have a bathrobe vibe. This one seems to just manage to avoid it. </p> <p><b>suntiger </b>the color is a warm browns like shown in the find. My home lighting is not designed for accurate color capture in photographs. :-)&nbsp;<br />The online version in brown seem to be sold out in all sizes but XL at the moment but they do offer a "notify me when it's back in stock" feature. I have no idea&nbsp;if they ever do restock things. The grey one&nbsp; has a few more size available. It also comes in black and a very light beige.&nbsp;Funny - I found the sizing different on the grey one, the sleeves were too tight in the same small size as the brown one so I got a medium in grey. It's not that much larger. I didn't think the sizing could be that different between different colors but apparently it could </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-camel-coat#post-2156208 Wed, 25 Nov 2020 17:22:09 +0000 delurked 2156208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good news to find two coats, even if they are just for a while.

Tempers the length. </p> <p>I like coats with longer sleeves. Warmer! But a road test is best. If the sleeve length bothers you out and about - shorten. If not - leave them long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-camel-coat#post-2156197 Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:27:51 +0000 Chris987 2156197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>nuancedream </b>and<b> La P!&nbsp;</b></p> <p><b>cat2</b> - thanks, and I would say this coat is "well enough" made, but I'm not sure I'd call it "well made" since&nbsp;it is after all from H&amp;M.&nbsp; And as you say, no point in buying something really high quality that does not work for you...that's a waste of time AND money!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-camel-coat#post-2156196 Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:22:33 +0000 Angie 2156196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER GORGEOUS FABNESS!

I ordered it, tried it on and realized it wasn’t the best fit for me, and ended up repeating my old Cinzia Rocca instead. So I am a fan of going with what works for you, irrespective of the brand, as long as they are well made. These look great! </p>
