I'm glad I could help. The Esprit stores in Berlin are fairly large, but I already ordered online all the same. I've gotten used to checking the "new in" rubric on the website regularly to see if there's something I want to try.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-weep-the-looooong-black-puffer-coat/page/2#post-1099363 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 11:15:57 +0000 Inge 1099363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The perfect length, finally! Hurrah!! And it's perfect in every other aspect too!! So glad you found <i>your</i> puffer coat, Ornella!!

I have a bit more time to respond to your feedback.&nbsp;</p> </p> <p>This coat is one true example of PPP. Bug, big thanks to Astrid for letting me know about it, her search for her coat had resulted with both of us ending up with a great outerwear to keep us warm.&nbsp;</p> </p> <p>I'm not sure how affiliates work with linking to non-US site, but&nbsp;for those interested, the coat is by Esprit. Available to Europeans, I'm not sure about the rest of the world. <b><i><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.esprit.de/damenjacken/variabler-stepp-daunen-mantel-103EE1G085_001">Here is the link to the product</a></i></b>.</p> </p> <p><b>Sveta</b> :: Sadly, the tag does not show the price in CAD. But, for future reference, another European brand worth keeping an eye on which does cater for tall proportions in their regular clothing (i.e. n special Tall line or anything, just their regular stuff is cut well for our height) is Mexx. I know the prices on Mexx's tags show the CAD equivalent too, so my guess is it's available on your market.</p> <p><b>Astrid</b> :: now I have a better idea of how tall you are You are right too, the belt placement is great. I guess in my case I'm just lucky with that detail, because it is so different from person to person where the waist is and this simply fits where it should. Btw, this coat still didn't come to my local Esprit, so thank you again for the heads up because I would have certainly missed it. Some sizes are already sold out on-line.</p> <p><b>Mander</b> :: I completely agree. Sometimes, you just want functional piece of clothing. But in this coat I got both - functional and pretty. Win-win ;-)</p> <p>Btw, <b>Suz</b>, if not wearing nice new things is a way to bring you over, I'm off to do some shopping… ;-)</p> <p><b>Pam</b> :: I had to laugh at Dr. Zhivago. You are so right… Should I nickname this my Lara coat.</p> <p><b>Catnip</b> :: thanks for the great tip. This is exactly the aspects of buying a coat like this that would never cross my mind without someone mentioning it. I have 'tested' the coat after reading your comment and from what I can tell I should be OK. Thanks again.</p> <p><b>Una</b> :: oh yes, the challenges of dressing a tall body!</p> <p><b>pil</b> :: the zipper does open at both ends. Thank you for bringing that detail to my attention.</p> <p><b>Windchime</b> :: I was not considered about it being too long, just whether I'm considering every aspect I should before keeping it. I wanted a long coat exactly like this one for a long time.</p> <p><b>AJ</b> :: Indeed, a great way to look forward to the cold. We've just had the first snowflakes of the season&nbsp;yesterday...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-weep-the-looooong-black-puffer-coat/page/2#post-1099310 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 07:10:51 +0000 AJ 1099310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PPP for the win!

I had no idea someone could look so amazing in long, black PUFFER coat. You took a style that most people only wear because they have to (for warmth) and turned it into a great look. Truly amazing, and I am so glad you are keeping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-weep-the-looooong-black-puffer-coat/page/2#post-1099070 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 00:54:52 +0000 DonnaF 1099070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't understand your initial hesitation.&nbsp; When I read your heading, I was worried about the harshness of black, but then the fur collar completely removed that concern.&nbsp; So glad you're keeping this coat.&nbsp; It would be a maxi on me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-weep-the-looooong-black-puffer-coat/page/2#post-1099065 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 00:49:41 +0000 Marley 1099065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How the heck can someone look so absolutely beautiful in a black, long, <i>puffer</i> coat?????&nbsp; So glad you are keeping this O!&nbsp; And so glad that you are happy with it!&nbsp; (it shows!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-weep-the-looooong-black-puffer-coat/page/2#post-1099061 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 00:46:02 +0000 rebekahphoto 1099061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all the ladies have already said it! </p> <p>It looks gorgeous on you. love the fur trim, the sleek chevron quilting. <br />and your height!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-weep-the-looooong-black-puffer-coat/page/2#post-1098864 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 21:42:52 +0000 Caro in Oz 1098864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are keeping the coat it looks fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-weep-the-looooong-black-puffer-coat/page/2#post-1098840 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 21:03:02 +0000 Windchime 1098840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, are you concerned it's TOO long? It's so very flattering on you and appears to fall right at the tops of your boots. The sleeve length is perfect, even when you raise your arms; it complements your waist, and it's super warm. I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-weep-the-looooong-black-puffer-coat/page/2#post-1098837 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 21:00:48 +0000 Ornella 1098837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keeping, keeping :-)</p> <p>This is one of those items I've wanted for long enough -- and I knew exactly what i wanted --&nbsp;not to settle for anything but the absolute winner.</p> <p>Almost like "Is it too good to be true?"</p> <p>I love it, hubby loves it, I wanted to make sure it gets your seal of approval too :-)</p> <p>Thank you. </p> </p> <p>p.s.</p> <p><b>Sveta</b> ::&nbsp;thanks.
