I ordered this same coat in brown and ended up going with a size smaller like you. Also like you, this was my first NAS purchase, and I ordered it on the last day of the sale!     RobinF on "My first ever NAS purchase (update with photos at the bottom)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-ever-nas-purchase/page/2#post-2278181 Mon, 22 Aug 2022 20:19:50 +0000 RobinF 2278181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That's exciting! I haven't purchase NAS yet - some year! Glad you found the right fit. That jacket should meld right into your wardrobe!

Nice! Meant to be :) I'd have liked to have seen the bigger size too. Very curious! Mine fits roomier than this. That's because of my narrow shoulder line, though. Makes sense! Isn't it a luxe, and fun topper! Exceptional price. Twinisies with you!  Barbara Diane on "My first ever NAS purchase (update with photos at the bottom)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-ever-nas-purchase#post-2277853 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 17:07:55 +0000 Barbara Diane 2277853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Glad it’s worked out!

Looking fabulous.

My tall US 12/14 client got an L, and it's perfect on her. The coat looks MUCH better closed, IMO. The roominess is architectural, so by all means wear it that way Janet on "My first ever NAS purchase (update with photos at the bottom)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-ever-nas-purchase#post-2272164 Sat, 16 Jul 2022 15:17:50 +0000 Janet 2272164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great coat!

Carla! Twinsies with you. Mine is at alterations having the sleeves shortened. Rare alteration for me. I have long arms! I hope you sized down. I did and it's still VERY roomy and architectural - and suppose to be. So you've been warned. It looks better buttoned up! I don't think I will wear it unbuttoned. It's not a blazer. It's a coat. Silly description. It is NOT a heavy coat. It's a Seattle Fall coat or for a mild Seattle Winter's day. I run very cold, so I'll layer LOTS underneath it too.  gryffin on "My first ever NAS purchase (update with photos at the bottom)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-ever-nas-purchase#post-2272041 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 21:09:10 +0000 gryffin 2272041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Whoops!!!

I just looked the medium is available right now Carla on "My first ever NAS purchase (update with photos at the bottom)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-ever-nas-purchase#post-2272031 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 20:30:23 +0000 Carla 2272031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ @gryffin - I would have picked up the Halogen trench as well, if it wasn’t sold out in my size (M, I think) as a replacement for my black brocade trench that I love so much - but is, frankly, worn out.  The leather trench looks like it would be a worthy replacement!  I plan to check back/stalk. @ Suz, merwoman, Glory, and other Canadians - I did a forehead slap when I realized I’d been planning to replace (and add) to my outerwear collection since last year.  It just seems so incongruous when the sun is shining and it’s 30degC!  I was watching the NAS posts and thinking: “Nah!  I’m good for summer.”  LOL!  I think I’m in denial that we actually do have a winter season - at least 4-5 months of it! Glory on "My first ever NAS purchase (update with photos at the bottom)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-ever-nas-purchase#post-2272030 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 20:23:00 +0000 Glory 2272030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a great purchase. I think it will be a fall coat which will be perfect. Our four seasons need lots of options. gryffin on "My first ever NAS purchase (update with photos at the bottom)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-ever-nas-purchase#post-2272024 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 19:53:28 +0000 gryffin 2272024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Runcarla - I stand in awe. Great first purchase. But that you’ve resisted the lure until perfect, needed and worthy piece appeared. Wow. You rock girl!!

I wondered the same thing and am thinking suitable for fall and maybe early winter with some layering. Also thought it looks like it could be worn as an indoor jacket, in colder weather of course.
