The shape is great ...too bad I’ve stocked up on fall and winter outerwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-raincoat-win#post-2050387 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 00:02:21 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2050387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear your success! I have this coat from several years ago, maybe 10 in fact, and it is indeed a very useful coat. I like the shaping and cute detail of the back bow, too. It has traveled a lot of places with me. I have often thought of duplicating it in another color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-raincoat-win#post-2050363 Sat, 03 Aug 2019 21:58:03 +0000 Angie 2050363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great review, and fab to have found a winning piece. Enjoy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-raincoat-win#post-2050237 Sat, 03 Aug 2019 11:07:03 +0000 Jenni NZ 2050237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks lovely. My raincoat is from 2004 and it’s not very stylish. Good on you for finding a great replacement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-raincoat-win#post-2050150 Sat, 03 Aug 2019 01:22:25 +0000 notsaf 2050150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this same piece and love the look, too. But be warned: it is water-resistant and not waterproof, so in a downpour, you will get damp! (Learned this lesson the hard way!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-raincoat-win#post-2050148 Sat, 03 Aug 2019 01:17:43 +0000 Anonymous 2050148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An you tell me, does this raincoat fabric make noise as you move? I have had a new raincoat as a HEWI for years because of the crunchy fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-raincoat-win#post-2050137 Sat, 03 Aug 2019 00:26:05 +0000 Suz 2050137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous review, <b>KikiG</b> -- thank you for posting it and I'm glad you found a raincoat that works well for you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-raincoat-win#post-2050135 Sat, 03 Aug 2019 00:22:13 +0000 KikiG 2050135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my NAS goals was to replace a 10 year old raincoat that had grown shabby.</p> <p>I tried the Barbour NAS navy raincoat, and found that the sizing was WAY off; the US 8/UK 12 was more like US 12 or 14, although that is helpful information if you happen to be needing that size.&nbsp; (There were no reviews when I bought it, and there are now, which state the same thing.) The quality was lovely.&nbsp; </p> <p>And I tried the Avec Les Filles raincoat with removable hood, and the cute snaps along the sides.&nbsp; Not bad, but not a 10 out of 10, which was my goal.&nbsp; (I didn't go the the Avec Les Filles raincoat that Angie had endorsed due to the zipper at the sleeve--I have short arms and a zipper there makes sleeve alteration a Big Problem.&nbsp; </p> <p>Finally, I tried the Cole Haan raincoat pictured below, and I have a keeper.&nbsp; It has a casing with ties that create a cute bow in the back, and which give shape and interest.&nbsp; This raincoat is very nicely made (if all you need is a single layer to keep the wet off, which is all I do need in my climate) and the edges of the seams are finished in a contrasting binding, a nice touch.&nbsp; It comes in multiple colors but black works best for my life.&nbsp; I will note that I read the reviews, and as I result, I ordered a Petite Large, which was the right call.&nbsp; (For reference, I'm consistently an 8P in a dress, and a Petite small in a top, so this did represent a sizing up.) And even in petite, the sleeves are, as expected, quite long for me, but that will be an especially easy fix as there isn't any sleeve detail that complicates things.&nbsp; </p> <p>Those of you are are very petite might take note--that this garment runs small may well make it work nicely for you.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
