This would be for occasions when I am biking to the store or something on my cruiser in street clothes. I have a high-vis helmet and lights and reflectors on the bike. It would mainly be for everyday wear off the bike. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-hooded-utility-jacket#post-2274393 Thu, 28 Jul 2022 11:11:49 +0000 Anonymous 2274393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope your ride goes well! The jacket looks nice but doesn't look like something to bike in cause the length, bulk, and color. To me a biking jacket would be short, minimalist, and bright for visibility. Looks to me like a good hiking or regular casual wear jacket though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-hooded-utility-jacket#post-2274391 Thu, 28 Jul 2022 11:06:45 +0000 April 2274391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a cyclist, but I recently came into an <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thealinker.com/">Alinker</a>&nbsp;and am realizing it needs a bit of dressing-to-suit.</p> <p>(Scroll down on that site if you want to see the inventor and CEO talk about this device - like our Angie, she's a Netherlander.)</p> <p>Anyway, Sharan, might need to try this jacket since it seems we both want less-yellow olive colors and something that won't catch on a bicycle seat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-hooded-utility-jacket#post-2274355 Thu, 28 Jul 2022 05:39:33 +0000 rachylou 2274355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a yes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-hooded-utility-jacket#post-2274325 Thu, 28 Jul 2022 01:05:50 +0000 JAileen 2274325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my absolute favorite type of jacket. &nbsp;As Angie said, make sure you can comfortably fit whatever layers you want underneath, and you have enough ease with your arms outstretched. &nbsp;I always need extra ease across my back for holding up my binoculars. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-hooded-utility-jacket#post-2274300 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 22:35:44 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2274300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I like this jacket for you. Hope the smaller size works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-hooded-utility-jacket#post-2274286 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 21:22:17 +0000 Aquamarine 2274286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice jacket. Good idea to try a smaller size…it does look snugger on the model.</p> <p>I am always sorry when I get a jacket without a two-way zipper. Can you sit on your bike wearing the jacket and see how the jacket will feel zipped up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-hooded-utility-jacket#post-2274279 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 20:51:35 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2274279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Irina, maybe it's just going to be that way! We'll see how the fits compare. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-hooded-utility-jacket#post-2274277 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 20:27:19 +0000 Irina 2274277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you like the smaller size &nbsp;better because it is nice jacket. I so often have that back part sticking out on trench coats for no reason but to annoy me!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-hooded-utility-jacket#post-2274269 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 19:34:10 +0000 Suz 2274269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it! It looks both practical and stylish. Glad you think it is short enough for biking even without the double zip -- that is usually a deal-breaker for me, too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-hooded-utility-jacket#post-2274258 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 18:53:09 +0000 Angie 2274258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOOH! It has LOTS of potential, <i><b></b></i><b>Sharan</b><i><b></b></i>.&nbsp;</p> <p>Yummy colour on you. I like the cinched waist. I love the architectural back! Glad you're ordering a size down to compare fits.&nbsp;</p> <p>Make sure you're correctly layered underneath when you assess the fit of the smaller size!&nbsp;Made it a top pick.</p> <p>Good luck biking in the heatwave tomorrow! Setting more Seattle heatwave records this week....no a/c like you :(</p> <p>Cute temporary tattoo idea </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-hooded-utility-jacket#post-2274253 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 18:38:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2274253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I ordered this olive outdoor jacket, in hopes it would be a cool enough olive color. I was also hoping it had a two-way zipper, to make it a good piece to bicycle in. The description didn't mention a two-way zipper, but sometimes Nordstrom doesn't mention that feature even if it is present. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>It arrived today, and I love the color and style! The color is a cool, almost dusty shade of olive (olive mixed with black). The fabric is a little bit shiny, and the gunmetal hardware is also shiny, so the coat has a polished casual feel. It is lacking the two-way zipper, but the style is cut short enough and with enough width at the hem that I wouldn't need the two-way zipper. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I want to keep this coat. However, I think this one is a little big, so I have just ordered the next smaller size. (I'm usually size S, which is what I ordered first. The XS is on its way to compare.)</div><div><br /></div><div>Here are the photos, for anyone considering. If you see the way the cape feature on the back sticks out in the middle, I think that is happening because the shoulders are too wide on me. Fingers crossed for the XS to be just right.</div><div><br /></div><div>1-2: worn straight, without the waist cinched</div><div>3-4: with the waist cinched inside</div><div>No styling--it's too hot! Also, the red rectangle on my calf is a temporary tattoo from a local group called Women Endurance Biking. We're wearing them for a big ride tomorrow, around Mount Rainier! I'm so excited.<br /></div> </p>
