I tried it on at Macy's and it fit me perfectly. It had the big snaps. I didn't buy it because it was *so* expensive (same ballpark as the Burberry peacoat). A few weeks ago I saw this picture of Mika Brzezinski wearing the very coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1830433 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 22:45:25 +0000 Style Fan 1830433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input everyone.&nbsp; The coat is going back.&nbsp; The coat looks best hanging open but I don't know when I would wear it.&nbsp; It doesn't fit into my lifestyle.&nbsp; It was an interesting experiment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1830346 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 19:36:49 +0000 Jenn 1830346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does look a little bulky when buttoned, but it looks fab hanging open.

I'm considering this coat too and would like to hear your thoughts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1830270 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 16:43:40 +0000 Anonymous 1830270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've regretted every coat or jacket I ever bought with those ridiculous oversized snaps! A button and proper-sized buttonhole offers a bit of give, which is especially needed in a bulkier item like a coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1830144 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 13:27:12 +0000 Angie 1830144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lesson learned, sweet Style Fan. I can love the coat on you - but you have to love it too. Back it goes.

"I LIKE STRUCTURE"....that is very astute of you, works for me too, and explains why I too am on the fence about this coat. It's in some ways more like a structured long sweater than a real coat. Off to do some measurements and take more pics which I'll post on the other thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1830099 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 10:45:45 +0000 kkards 1830099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh...that theory coat is fab, just fab....<br />to bad the nugmeg coat didn't work, as the color was lovely....but as Angie would say....next </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1830090 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 09:35:42 +0000 Style Fan 1830090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF members are a wise group.&nbsp; Sorry for posting and then running off.&nbsp; Thank you for your valuable feedback.&nbsp; <br />The coat is probably the right size and as JAileen points out Nordstroms only shows the coat open on the model.&nbsp; I feel like a poser in it.&nbsp; Much as I love avant guarde, arty, architecty looks on others I don`t love them on me.&nbsp; I feel dragged down.&nbsp; <br />The coat was not wrinkled actually.&nbsp; It arrived it very good condition.&nbsp; The colour had more orange in it than I expected but that is okay.&nbsp; I love orange.&nbsp; The snaps could be moved.&nbsp; I experimented with that.<br />I need to write in big letters I like structure.&nbsp; Smythe blazers for example.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829892 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 21:48:11 +0000 Liz A. 1829892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before reading the comments I was going to say it's definitely not looking too big. &nbsp;The shoulders seem to fit just right. &nbsp;I often (almost always) get long items taken in at the waist, which would probably help you here. &nbsp;But if you don't love it like your Theory coat, why split wears? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829890 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 21:47:41 +0000 Aquamarine 1829890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Theory so much more on you, but I love that Nutmeg color too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829810 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 19:08:31 +0000 JAileen 1829810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wanted to add: Nordstrom doesn't show any pictures of the coat fastened. This is very interesting. I ordered it in grey, and it's back ordered, but I'll be very curious to see how it looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829801 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 18:46:03 +0000 rachylou 1829801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, too bad. It seemed so lovely. But I can see what you mean. It's not falling neat and tailored. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829798 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 18:36:57 +0000 Dianna 1829798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color on you, and I love how it looks unbuttoned.&nbsp; I hope you could see if the bunching issue&nbsp;could be solved, because it is a beautiful color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829789 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 18:14:51 +0000 MsMaven 1829789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't love it on you. The color is fine, but to me the coat doesn't hang right. If your first impression is overall negative, I'm not sure that a pressing will help a lot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829786 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 17:45:00 +0000 Suz 1829786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous colour for you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Sensational.&nbsp;</p> <p>I see what you mean about the pulling/ bunching, though, and it does not have a tailored fit like the Theory (which is amazing on you!). I would enjoy it as a good alternative -- different style -- but only if that bunching issue could be resolved or possibly steamed out. I do have a coat (single breasted but asymmetrical) that had similar bunching when it first arrived and I had to take it into the Bay (where I purchased) for a good steaming. That resolved it forever.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829782 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 17:25:07 +0000 gryffin 1829782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style Fan - the Theory coat is beyond stunning.&nbsp; It looks like it was made for you.&nbsp; The nutmeg coat is very pretty, agree with angie but it can't compare to the theory.&nbsp; That being said I find double breasted coats with a single row of buttons or anyone one button coat can tend to pull and not lay perfectly.&nbsp; Firecracker and those who sew would have a better take but unless the material is very dense with a lot of body, I find that the coat tends to pull even when it fits, if that makes sense.&nbsp; I have been successful with that type but only with a very heavy wool with a long of body to it, cashmere, alpaca - there may be too much tension on too narrow an area.&nbsp; That's always been my theory.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829773 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 17:00:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1829773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Angie is right, the size is probably good. I've seen that problem with double-breasted styles before. It could be the coat isn't hanging quite right from your shoulders, and it may need to be adjusted somewhat (or it may be cut for a different shape shoulder slope than yours). Often, though, this problem can be fixed, if you were so inclined, by moving the inside snap to a place the eliminates the wrinkle.&nbsp; I think the coat is a lovely color and style for you. It is a different animal than the Theory coat, which is beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829768 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 16:53:21 +0000 Anonymous 1829768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not loving it on you when it's buttoned either. Hmm. What is going on with the bunching around where it fastens? &nbsp;I do like it in the first pic though. &nbsp;I'm also surprised that the colour is not quite as saturated as in the store photo. &nbsp;Your Theory coat is fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829754 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 16:18:13 +0000 JAileen 1829754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anythng would be hard pressed to compete with your Theory coat. The KC coat is a gorgeous color for you. Was it wrinkled out of the box? Maybe a pressing would be in order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829749 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 16:14:47 +0000 merwoman 1829749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! Looked at the first pic and thought YES! Colour is stunning on you. &nbsp;There is something with a funny shape, button level on your right - I don't see it in the stock photo - so maybe a good pressing out would help? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829746 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 16:11:05 +0000 Susie 1829746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That color is so pretty on you! It looks like it fits you similarly to how it fits the model. Does it feel too big? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829739 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 15:52:55 +0000 Joyce B 1829739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your Theory coat is beautiful, that makes it hard to compare anything else to it. I love that nutmeg color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829729 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 15:35:42 +0000 Anonymous 1829729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you're looking for something more structured?<br /> Maybe the sleeve length is throwing you off?<br /> Great colour, and nice look for you. More casual than the theory coat (which is lovely, and YLF!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kc-nutmeg-coat-arrived#post-1829728 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 15:31:37 +0000 Angie 1829728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not big at all actually, and it hangs quite well. This is the right size. Architectural. It's not a fitted topper (look at the model). It's A-Line, and not suppose to fit like your Theory coat (gorgeous, btw).&nbsp;</p> </p> <p>Where is it bunching? Might need a press, as I see that the snaps are sticking out.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the sleeve length. Cozy. &nbsp;</p>
