DD will be moving from Cali to the Midwest for college, and she is about 5'2". She is a slender IT, so the XS may be okay through the shoulders but way too loose in the arms and body -- so built more like a junior. She runs warm, but I tend to think she will freeze her first winter unless she has a really warm coat. I don't want to spend too much since she lost a Northface jacket in less than one season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question/page/2#post-643523 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 18:44:10 +0000 Meredith1953 643523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for the red coat! That will look lovely on you! I love the fact that LE allows returns to Sears. I just got through doing a return that way yesterday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question/page/2#post-643518 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 18:40:06 +0000 Jonesy 643518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so fascinated by all of this June puffer action!

I wear it when I'm skating or cross-country skiing and sometimes just as a fun casual piece around town. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643474 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:46:33 +0000 Anonymous 643474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great price. Sadly, i find that Lands end is cut really wide in the shoulder. If I size down to fit my shoulders, then the arms are too short </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643472 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:46:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 643472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's hoping it works for you Rae - unfortunately for us Canadians, they don't offer the return to Sears, but it's only $7.95 for return shipping and they just take it off your refund so to me, that's pretty darned reasonable. Keeping my fingers crossed!</p> <p>Thanks for all the info everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643465 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:42:23 +0000 modgrl 643465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the fur but I think MaryK found it to be TMGO, esp with her blonde hair. The vest is very nice and could be a good piece for your climate too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643454 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:36:16 +0000 rae 643454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the info! I just ordered FOUR items to try in XS. Chat rep said that you can return to Sears even if you use Paypal, so FYI no return shipping charges if you are near a Sears! I really hope one of them works out; the down is really lightweight to carry and squishes nice and small for travel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643433 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:22:52 +0000 rachylou 643433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you'll be happy. I live in mine. They do run a tad large; I think ordering two sizes was smart, so you can see what you'll be happiest with.</p> <p>p.s. and definitely red! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643428 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:17:12 +0000 Suz 643428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know....I'm actually contemplating it as well. I wonder if the P small would be my best bet? I already have a puffer coat, mind you...but at $59 (what it would amount to with the discount) that is pretty remarkable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643425 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:10:45 +0000 Anonymous 643425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the BEST time to buy down items.

The waist on the xsp hits me at the perfect spot. The arm length is a bit short, perhaps by 1/2". When it is seriously cold, I will wear it with gloves so it will be a non issue. If you have normal length arms, I wouldn't get the petite. The arm length will be too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643399 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 16:20:40 +0000 Heather 643399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Talk of deals and puffers make me sweat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643394 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 16:10:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 643394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm only 5'1" and if I remember correctly, Rita is 5' even. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643392 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 16:10:11 +0000 MsMary 643392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Shannon!</p> <p>Rae, I do think it would be great if you could snap up one of these babies at such a great price ! As Rita says, it's gear and you'd wear it infrequently and it doesn't necessarily have to be an 11, you know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643389 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 16:09:11 +0000 rae 643389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita and Shannon, how tall are you? I am tempted to try a different style in XSP because it says the shoulders are scaled down in P sizes, but their size chart does not give any info on how it affects the length of coats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643387 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 16:06:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 643387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trigger has been pulled! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643385 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 16:02:55 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 643385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think in this case it is prudent. Where else can you get a puffer rated to -40 for less than $75? And especially one that is being recommended by your fashion posse? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643384 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 16:02:08 +0000 GGB 643384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I wear a 10 in a jacket and took a M in the LE puffer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643381 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 16:00:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 643381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you my beautiful enablers! (lol) - red it is!</p> <p>Dianthus - I have the code and it entered just fine. I still think I'll order both sizes. Better to send one back then find the medium is a bit tight with a blazer underneath and then find the large is no longer available.</p> <p>Seems bizarre to potentially cross off a winter need item in mid June! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643376 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:56:40 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 643376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the medium will have plenty of room. They have a code for $20 off $75 and free shipping. If you don't have it, I might still have it at my home e-mail. Just let me know if you need it and I will look after work.</p> <p>I also bought a fairly pricey down coat locally and think the LE is pretty close in quality and was a fraction of the cost. The ones rated for the colder temps have a heavier shell I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643374 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:55:59 +0000 MsMary 643374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote red! The teal was pretty but it was a little shinier than I expected. And the red is just gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643369 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:54:00 +0000 Transcona Shannon 643369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooohhh...that does help Dianthus! I got a medium petite in the J Jill blouse so thought I would order both a medium petite and a large petite in the puffer. I need to be able to layer a blazer underneath the puffer. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643366 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:52:38 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 643366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, if it helps, I got a S in the JJill shirt and a S in the Lands End puffer and usually wear an 8 in jackets and tops these days. My mom also got one of the LE puffers and she loves it.</p> <p>I got red (it is a deep rose red) and my mom got the bright aqua. I think either of these would work for you but lean towards the teal/aqua. Don't forget to check the ratings for low temp on the jackets. Some are rated for -40 and some only -30 or even warmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643354 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:44:35 +0000 rae 643354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank yo for the link, Rita! I had tried to find your pic, but I must have not used the right search words. You look so great, I think I'm going to try the XS for sure. </p> <p>Shannon, MaryK has pics of both the red and teal colors (although her teal is a different style, I believe it is the same color name on LE).<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-my-puffer-coat" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....uffer-coat</a></p> <p>I think I vote red for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643342 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:36:32 +0000 Suz 643342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say red for you, Shannon. It's a fun colour and works with your winter wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643336 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:33:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 643336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Rita (and Rae) for your feedback - I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this item as it's an absolute necessity in our winters and come fall, there won't be a petite in my size at this price point.</p> <p>I'm going to order two sizes as the return shipping is only $7.95. Now the real question is which colour: I'm stuck between red and bright teal. What's the consensus? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-end-puffer-coat-question#post-643316 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:23:32 +0000 modgrl 643316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I read the reviews before I decided to order it. Most people said that the land's end sizing runs large. Also the reviews sometimes list people's heights and weights, and it seemed like the people who were close to my size were happiest with the xsp. </p> <p>Here it is on me (second picture): <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-catching-up-226-32" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-up-226-32</a></p> <p>It is puffy but pretty streamlined for a puffer coat. We have to wear puffers in the winter around here and this is really the best fit and most streamlined one I have seen. Perhaps the $300+ patagonia's are slimmer but I can't afford them and they don't come in my petite size any way. </p>
