SaphiRose Women's Long Hooded Rain Jacket Outdoor Raincoat Windbreaker

Nice

Nice item true to size x

I ordered this with lots of hesitation but the reviews persuaded me. I am glad I trusted the reviews. Let’s start off with my sizing. I am 5’7”, weigh roughly 220lbs. Carry most of my weight on my upper body, mainly in my back and arms. I am absolutely floored with the quality, I ordered black and it’s actually a true jet black, not an off black or a dark grey, it’s a real jet black which is so hard to find in coats of this material now a days. The material is amazing too, it’s similar to the trench coats that Le Chateau used to carry when it was in its prime. It’s not the soft shell scratchy stuff nor is it that loud noisy material that Columbia trenches are made out of. It’s soft and not noisy or scratchy. Fairly similar to the soft semi shiny trench coats from coach. The inside seems to be of the same material and the pattern is really pretty and pairs nicely with the black, makes it seem more luxe. The buttons are on nice and tight too, all the seams are very well stitched and nothing is coming lose either. Pockets are actual real pockets too, very spacious. The zippers zip properly and glide nicely, the hood is large and fits over my gigantic bulbous head too. There is a draw string on the inside to tighten the waist to give you some shape. This is where I found the cons, which I will explain below. Now as for the fit. As I mentioned I am 5’7” carry my weight in my back and arms. The length is great, covers my bum and cooch lmao, but if I lift up my arms all of that is exposed. But that’s no biggie to me since I’m not walking around with my arms up in the air, i saw reviews saying the sleeves are short, I didn’t find that an issue, if anything with my arms relaxed the sleeves reach up to the knuckle of my thumb…and that’s coming from someone that has long chimp arms lol. The width is great, left me room to wear a semi thick sweater or to layer which is a rare treat because I’m shaped like a quarter back lol. My only real con is where the draw string is to tighten the waist, to me it’s placed too high up on the torso. It sits right where my ribs are, not on my actual waist line which is disappointing since my waist is my smallest point and I can’t accentuate that since it doesn’t cinch there. The draw string is more so placed like the 90’s umpire waist lines. So on me at least it looks a bit silly and looks almost foolish to tighten because it makes my upper body look compacted in a bad way lol. I am still trying to decide if that small con is enough for me to return or if I am willing to over look it and just wear it without tightening/cinching the waist. I have not tried to test if it’s truly rain proof or not since it’s not a concern of mine at all, I simply want to wear this for going from my car into my work or run short errands or even take the dog out for a walk. I’d say, if u have a shorter torso don’t even think twice about it and just follow the size chart and you’ll be fine. However if u do have a long torso and want something to really show off your waist then pass on this one. The quality is really great though. UPDATE: I have decided to return it, positioning of the draw string is too uncomfortable for me to overlook.

The coat itself was very nice but the sizing advice was totally wrong. The XXL was supposed to fit 26/28 UK but it was more like an 18/20. Shame because the coat was nice

Bought the black style in a hurry for a trip. I try not to order clothing from Amazon becuase its hit or miss. But this jacket is nice. Good quality, and the lining is attractive. Fit was okay, I bought a medium, sleeves just a tad long on me, but I'm only 5'5", 135 lbs. So I folded the sleeves back at the wrist, which is fine, since the nice lining shows. Has everything for rain, including the hood. Nice weight, it feels good. Pockets too. Zipper quality is good. I would recommend. Amazon is getting better with some of its online clothing choices. I have no complaints at all, considering the price and fast delivery.
