I have never bought coats from J Crew before. <br /><br />I tried on a Cashmere-wool Capella Coat in store (camel). It was a size 6. I thought it was a little too big, but overall, the shape of the coat was very flattering. <br /><br />I am tempted to purchase the coat online, but can't decide for the love of god which size I should get, a 4 or a 2? <br /><br />Some info: I normally wear a size 2P in pants at places like Banana Republic and Ann Taylor and XS/S for tops (I have no boobs :P). Since the coat is now Final Sale, I can't exchange it if I get the wrong size. The weather where I'm from can be brutal in the winter...anywhere from 30 to 2 degrees, which means I need to bundle up under the coat, possibly shirt/sweater combo. <br /><br />Does anyone have this coat? What do you think I should get size wise?<br /><br />Thanks in advance!Illegal Alienatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967293492287920897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-81827427132480314202010-12-07T20:07:29.124-05:002010-12-07T20:07:29.124-05:00I really don't need another coat in our mild w...I really don't need another coat in our mild winters here, but it sure is tempting.

I would worry a little about a men's band being too large, but I have freakishly small limbs. (Think Mr. Potato head's body with toothpicks for limbs; it's very attractive.)CharlotteSometimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581852406970706840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-76620160199676916522010-12-07T01:28:57.102-05:002010-12-07T01:28:57.102-05:00Chiming in late on the Lady Day--I love mine but i...Chiming in late on the Lady Day--I love mine but it runs small IMO; I could never fit a suit jacket under it. <br /><br />My part of the country (PNW) doesn't get especially low temps but I "run cold" and always get Thinsulate if it's an option. My 07 double-cloth Town Coat is lovely but its lack of Thinsulate limits it to fall for me.Hexiconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00834188332983426624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-82031463244051949412010-12-06T23:19:20.669-05:002010-12-06T23:19:20.669-05:00@ Elaine, I sized up in the Lady Day so I could la...@ Elaine, I sized up in the Lady Day so I could layer with sweaters under it. I'm usually a 0p or 2p on top, but my lady day is 4p. It fits perfectly with plenty of room for my wide shoulders and for layering but doesn't look oversized.<br /><br />I didn't get the Thinsulate version and it keeps me plenty warm on Boston winter days.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03108325052142108505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-5581219736990103302010-12-06T20:13:35.527-05:002010-12-06T20:13:35.527-05:00Gigi, thanks for the advice re the field coat! Hm,...Gigi, thanks for the advice re the field coat! Hm, I tend not to layer over jackets, so even though I like it on you, I might need more warmth. I'm still thinking about the rainy-day utility jacket -- I spoke with a hapless rep tonight who finally was able to find out that the "sublime sherpa lining" (seriously, who writes their copy?) is a fleece lining.<br /><br />Amanda: I too would say the Elements coat runs a bit big. Although I'm more often on the large size of a 4 in coats, I was able to fit into the 2 in the Elements, and I think that if I were to try on a 4 (not available in my store), I'd have an inch or more of overlap in the front if I were to pull it tight. (However, I'm still going to size up because I want room underneath for bulky sweaters and maybe even a down vest for really cold days.) <br /><br />Re the Colletta: I too found it fairly TTS. Measurements in a size 4: Chest circumference 37", shoulder 15". By comparison, the Boulevard Trench runs 37" chest circumference, 15.25" in the shoulder. Without Thinsulate, I don't think I could wear a double-cloth coat into really cold weather (I think I get chilly in my Madeline when it starts to dip close to 50F overnight).TUMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687263529060025032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-13502224219954969212010-12-06T19:51:57.608-05:002010-12-06T19:51:57.608-05:00Also, the Sartorialist had some very chic coat pic...Also, the Sartorialist had some very chic coat pictures this morning.

Crossing my fingers that it fits well and is warm. I love my J Crew coats from past seasons. The Lady Day and Pea coats for fall and Wool-Cashemere Plaza coat in the winter (all of them with thinsulate, I get really cold). In really blustery winter weather my North Face Metropolis Puffer Hood Parka keeps me the warmest, but I can get away with my J.Crew Plaza coat with warm layers if I must have a dressier look.Awakening my Wardrobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657836778192537111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-26378391514420923632010-12-06T17:35:03.907-05:002010-12-06T17:35:03.907-05:00picked up the bonbon in warm taupe.

I did a search on ebay and noticed several available from resellers for about 25% more than the promo and $15 for shipping but not in my size. Not sure but I think this might be a case of resellers grabbing stock at low prices. I hope not but the whole situation seems strange.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079337100779009131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-24056095799886530712010-12-06T16:45:50.616-05:002010-12-06T16:45:50.616-05:00Those Charley watch bands are much more "weat...Those Charley watch bands are much more "weathered" looking and less saturated in person as compared to their website picture, like a washed spring green, for example.

Gosh, I hope I like the sunwashed pink color, I am hoping it isn't Barbie pink. The rose dust sold out on me. And I hope the panne velvet bell skirt doesn't make me look like a heifer.
