Is this a NAS discount price do you know... I love a good and versatile raincoat... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1710352 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 17:56:08 +0000 Astrid 1710352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's great! And I can totally understand how you can go crazy over a raincoat... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1710345 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 17:35:12 +0000 Eliza 1710345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie- that coat has such a nice shape and simple elegance. It also feels fresh, yet classic; likely to have longevity. Am I right that the fabric has a great hand? I haven't seen it IRL, but it looks that way on the screen. Enjoy it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1710301 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 15:34:55 +0000 Inge 1710301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you are sorted, Susie. I can hear the excitement in your voice!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1710299 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 15:33:05 +0000 Susie 1710299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#bestraincoatever#</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1707255 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 22:27:31 +0000 Susie 1707255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you are probably right Angie! Maybe I should re-try it in black because I did like the fit. But the shiny buttons, shoulder flaps (whatever they are called),&nbsp;the&nbsp;belt loops, etc just felt hectic. Maybe the London Fog just seems simpler because the details are more spread out on the longer length!</p> <p>I bet that makes no sense at all :)</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1707217 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 21:14:47 +0000 Angie 1707217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie, it's simpler than the London Fog!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1707212 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 21:06:14 +0000 Astrid 1707212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From the ones you showed I like the look of the London Fog trench best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1707161 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 20:16:25 +0000 Susie 1707161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did try that one, Angie, in the red, but it&nbsp;wasn't me as it felt like too much going on. It was a good fit and nice quality but I didn't feel excited to wear it. Though getting excited about wearing a raincoat might be too much to ask of a simple garment! </p> <p>Glory, the styles just didn't make my heart sing. </p> <p>Chris, I never wear hoods. They might be practical but I just don't. And hoods just add to the ALGO vibe I wasn't loving with the trench. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1707129 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 19:26:30 +0000 Angie 1707129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote try this one in a petite.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1707120 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 19:19:08 +0000 Glory 1707120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why did you return the 2 from NAS? Fit? Material? Also, is the raincoat for work or more running around / casual. I like all 4 of these but find 3 and 4 very different in overall look and length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1707107 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 19:13:04 +0000 Chris987 1707107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no comment on the styles, it really depends on what you want. However I have found a hood to be invaluable on a raincoat; there are many times when I don't have a spare hand to hold an umbrella, it's&nbsp;too windy to use one, or it's too much of a hassle to carry one like weaving in and out of city sidewalks or when&nbsp;using a small purse.&nbsp;I insist on having one on any raincoat&nbsp;I'm going to wear in real rain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1707041 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 17:22:47 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1707041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the belted one best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1707029 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 16:58:42 +0000 Susie 1707029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane, if it is warm I would use an umbrella instead of a raincoat. And I never wear hoods or hats. Non-removable hoods are a deal&nbsp;breaker for me!&nbsp;Our winters aren't overly cold and I commute by car so it doesn't have to be super warm. I probably wouldn't use it on top of anything too bulky. And in reality I would probably wear it open more often than closed.</p> <p>Carter, I like that one too, at least as the model is wearing it. I would need to see it open too. I wonder if it's too sporty? I have a more gear rain jacket so need to be able to wear this one with dressier/smart casual&nbsp;work outfits. </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1707027 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 16:52:58 +0000 carter 1707027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sporty look of the Ralph Lauren one! I do not need a raincoat. I do not need a raincoat... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1707026 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 16:52:10 +0000 Jane 1707026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Hi Susie, I feel like I am hogging the forum today too)</p> <p>Lovely choices.</p> <p>Do you carry an umbrella? I wonder if you need a hood? </p> <p>I like the babydoll style particularly. Do you need to wear a jacket under it and if so, is the top so fitted as to not fit over a jacket.&nbsp;The extent of fabric in the London Fog version would put me off I think.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoat-opinions-please#post-1707020 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 16:39:10 +0000 Susie 1707020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried 2 different raincoats from NAS but returned both. I browsed other Nordstrom choices and added a few different styles to finds. Obviously fit is a determining factor but I would love your feedback on these...do you like any of them?</p> </p> <p>Sorry to be a forum hog today, but I am taking advantage of some free time this morning!</p> <p></p> <p>_________________</p> <p>WOW! All of these arrived with one absolute winner- #1 in finds. It is so much more attractive in person than the photo! The fabric is amazing...soft and drapey and not at all "noisy"&nbsp;(If you know what I mean.)&nbsp; I love the simplicity and the slight shaping; the collar lays beautifully and adds just enough interest.&nbsp;It is nice enough to be&nbsp;worn with a cocktail dress yet would add polish to jeans. It looks just as good open as closed. </p> <p>I love this coat! I wouldn't have imagined getting excited about a raincoat but I am beyond thrilled with it and would gladly wear it even if it wasn't raining! </p> </p>
