Ask Angie: NAS jacket

DeniseP

Hi Angie,
You mentioned in your article (NAS outerwear picks) that your client Karen had the Cole Haan leather jacket. It only comes in petite on-line, and I haven't found it in the store.
Will a petite work for a 5'4" frame? Noticed that the petite is 22" long, and the Halogen leather jacket is 22" long in regular rise. I'm wondering about the sleeve length. Thanks!

Not Angie obviously but I purchased that jacket. I've been looking for a leather jacket for 2 years and this one is perfect for me. On the 4P, the sleeve is 23 5/8'" long from shoulder seam. The leather is soft and supple. The quality is superb.
You can always return if it doesn't work. At the NAS price, it's a great deal.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, SuzyCue. Enjoy your new jacket!

Karen purchased it in a regular size 8 and it could not be more perfect on her - although Karen is taller than you (5ft 8). The longer length is great for trousers and jeans too.

It's very hard for me to be sure about the petite sizing on you, Donna. It will definitely work well with dresses and skirts. I vote order and try it out.

Denise,

I'm 5'3" and tried out the petite small in a store. It fit me well, as I recall. Unless your arms are unusually long, I'd give it a try!

ETA: Sorry I'm confusing the sizing with another jacket. I tried the 4P and it worked on me.

Thanks everybody!

I called my local Nordstrom and they ordered a size 8 regular for me, but, I wanted the amber color, and it is only available in black and chocolate. Went with chocolate since, unfortunately, black is too harsh against my skin tone now. Still debating about trying the petite size, only because of the color that I want. Would you size up to 10 p? Think the
longer length of regular size might work better since I am mostly in jeans and pants, and not skirts or dresses. Thoughts anyone?
