Faux fur bust

I finally got a chance to try on the coat. The faux fur is really nice & soft, colors are fun, and it fit.
But, it only has one closure. Which if I read more carefully, I would I have realized. But I assumed it was more a description of the closure type than actually a singular (awkward grammar)
So back it goes

Oh! Too bad. Totally understand that one button would just not work.

It’s SUCH a great coat! Could you have a tailor add more closures? The reason I ask is that I just got a faux fur jacket which I adore, but the closures are hard to work and one of them won’t stay closed. I’m going to take it to a tailor and ask if they could change out the closures for something better.

This is so annoying, and a big reason for why I have to return items when online shopping. Super that you only commit to wardrobe 10s!

Hmm, Windchime. I think I have some alterations credit at Nordstrom

Oh definitely, Anna - don't let an easy fix like that derail you. You could

have buttons and loops, huge fur-style hooks and eyes, straps and buckles and if you want, probably a zipper.

Ooh, I wondered the same as Windchime — faux furs are notorious for bad/insufficient closures.

Too bad, Anna. It’s a great looking coat. I like Windchime’s suggestion. I’ve often taken my coats to my tailor to tinker with fastenings—in one case to add them to a garment that had none. And yes, it was a winter coat, and I bought it knowing it had none. Sometimes the heart overrules the head!

The description says it's a hook and eye closure. It would be ridiculously easy to add more.

Fun coat!

Go for adding extra closures!

Aaaargh fart. That’s so frustrating. But yes, if you’re game, I’d explore adding extra hook and eye closures. That should be an inexpensive alteration. You can also look for special hardware at bead/button shops or Etsy if you want to change them all out.

I'm sorry to hear that. I really liked it for you.

Anna, and if you do not, your credit will start over in less than a week.

That is so fun, it would be great if they’re able to add closures should you decide to go that route.

I returned a beautiful plaid wool coat last week. It had only one button closure. I returned it for another reason (too scratchy), but I thought one button was inadequate for a long coat. I wondered what they were thinking.

So annoying. What an Anna coat!

Ditto to adding closures if you can! Making coats with just one makes no sense at all

This coat is so you Anna, I’m hoping you can somehow alter the closure for a more practical use!

You may be more patient/less lazy than I, Anna, but the need to fasten a row of hooks and eyes would make me avoid wearing the coat. My vote is to see if they can do buttons or a zipper.

If buttons, you could do something unique. All kinds of cool buttons on Etsy.
