Sorry I can't be more help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-1114236 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 21:47:15 +0000 unfrumped 1114236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red is a great color. I have a poison eye for those horizontal pocket flaps( real or faux), so that's a coat deal- breaker for me, but I'm more hippy. I don't think I like the funnel coat belted. The red us such a factor I might have to see the actual coat in that color. Maybe neither coat is "the one"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-1114172 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 20:45:21 +0000 Gigi 1114172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the funnel coat, partly because it is more form fitting. I always get cold, and the first coat looks like cold air could easily get up through the more flared hem. But if the funnel one doesn't have Thinsulate, maybe that would negate any benefits you'd get from having a snugger coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-1114069 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 18:44:25 +0000 K. Period. 1114069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is the style of the funnel neck coat? Is it <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/outerwear/woolpufferjackets/PRDOVR~06288/06288.jsp">this one</a>, but in red? &nbsp;</p> <p>I like the shape of the funnel neck coat, but I&nbsp;think the bunching at the funnel is tough. &nbsp;I'd love it if they'd just made the funnel a bit wider! However, if you always plan to wear it with the top button unbuttoned, then I think it works. &nbsp;I agree that I think the straight fit on it is nicer than the flare. &nbsp;</p> <p>Honestly? I would hold off for the lady day coat so that you have all your options to consider. &nbsp;And I would try the funnel neck in one size up too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-1113996 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 17:49:13 +0000 cmartin 1113996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now thast you've had you coat for a while, would love to hear how it worked through the cold season.&nbsp; thanks for the review! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-766207 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 17:42:31 +0000 diane 766207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>correction.... I like the funnel coat in red!<br /> It was brand confusion at its best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-766154 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 17:03:14 +0000 Susie 766154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's difficult to not consider the color when judging them so I would like to see both styles in the same color. The red one certainly looks nice but I think the other may look more modern. I do prefer it without the belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765965 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 07:34:14 +0000 diane 765965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like metro in red the best. I like the with or without tie and it looks more modern to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765858 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 01:34:54 +0000 deb 765858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote red! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765787 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 23:38:46 +0000 JR 765787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the second coat. I like the nice trim look. Sorry, majority.</p> <p>That said, the first one is a perfectly fine coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765779 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 23:22:54 +0000 shiny 765779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both. I am not crazy about the color of the funnel coat, but I do like the shape and fit. The red color of the metro is amazing, and I can't be sure that isn't swaying me towards that coat over the other. </p> <p>I do see what you mean about the narrower hem ... so maybe try the funnel in same color as the metro?</p> <p>Most importantly, how do you FEEL in both? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765774 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 23:09:47 +0000 Suz 765774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both coats, although it IS tough to tell about the funnel neck one without seeing more of your face shape, and if you are not comfortable in the style (neckline) or lining (no thinsulate) that seems to be enough to rule it out, especially as the Metro looks good. I agree you should hold out for something with usable pockets if that is an important feature. </p> <p>The metro coat is a bit ladylike, a bit retro. I'm not sure how it fits in with your overall style goals. So that is the only thing that gives me a bit of hesitation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765768 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 23:04:29 +0000 DonnaF 765768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IMHO, the Metro flatters your shape more, regardless of color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765754 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 22:31:53 +0000 Mochi 765754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think you're giving short shrift to the funnel coat. With the collar popped (pic 7) it looks very cool. The sash I'm not sure about--it gives the whole thing the appearance of a bathrobe. The metro coat is great. It's just super tailored, where the other coat to me, being streamlined and minimalist, seems like it could give you either a dressy or casual look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765751 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 22:20:37 +0000 Lulu 765751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elle-</p> <p>I too prefer the shape and styling of the metro. I assume you have the current promo code for 25% off thru thursday (OURTREAT) but just mentioning it in case you don't! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765741 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 21:55:52 +0000 Thistle 765741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the Metro Coat in red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765738 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 21:53:28 +0000 Diana 765738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely the metro. I like the red but other colors would be fab as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765685 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 20:22:53 +0000 ironkurtin 765685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I'll be a spanner as Angie says. I by far prefer the fit on the funnel, without the sash. In red would be beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765679 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 20:08:36 +0000 Deborah 765679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the red Metro coat on you/) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765673 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 20:00:23 +0000 Ingunn 765673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still vote red, and for the Metro coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765641 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 19:15:52 +0000 ElleH 765641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae the funnel coat is a narrower style &amp; fits slightly smaller but I have a leather moto jacket, sweater &amp; tee under it. I could size up again ( i fit in the smaller one without all the layers) if I decide that is the favorite, though it isn't looking like it. I want thinsulate &amp; everyone here seems to prefer the Metro. I'm gonna order the Lady Day coat, which is similar to Metro but with side pockets for hands. I will order in Camel as that is a more neutral color. If I don't like it as it seems too light online, I might get the red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765633 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 18:56:38 +0000 bj1111 765633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, metro in red then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765631 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 18:53:40 +0000 rae 765631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Zap... red red red! Although... the funnel coat looks like it's possibly too small? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765629 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 18:50:03 +0000 ElleH 765629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BJ the funnel is small, more like a turtle neck &amp; the Metro Coat comes up quite high so I think a scarf would give me enough protection. Hats mess flatten my already flat hair &amp; a pashmina which could be a scarf &amp; cover my head might be good. </p> <p>The funnel coat doesn't have thinsulate either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765627 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 18:46:58 +0000 bj1111 765627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the funnel to me seems more functional if yourneck tends to get cold. the metro coat is more dressy. do scarves give you enough protection? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-metro-coat-funnel-coat#post-765620 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 18:31:19 +0000 catgirl 765620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the Metro coat by FAR.

I think the coat fits very nicely at the shoulder and waist, very flattering. </p>
