I purchased mine in navy and black size medium in the fall when they were $120 plus 40% off (though I know they took it out of the sale for a while). Its lightweight and great for layering and I love the goldtone hardware. I've worn it countless times given the "mild" winter we've had in the Pacific Northwest. Goes great with one of their side zipped sweatshirts! Also my melton peacoat shipped yesterday, can't wait to receive it!

I ordered a 4 tall in navy ( I typically wear a 6 tall in coats but went with the 4 tall due to it's oversize fit). I still can't believe the coat is 50 dollars, that's totally insane for a coat, especially a jcrew peacoat. I hope that it fits well but for 50 dollars I won't be too upset if it isn't a perfect fit.

I expressed my concerns about the oversize fit for item #B6474 (regular wool melton peacoat) since I've been having problems getting the right fit with the oversize items since I don't necessarily want them oversized on me! I told the chat specialist that I'm usually a 10-12 in button downs, but recently fit a 8 petite in item #A8911 (petite wool melton duffle coat) which fit perfect and asked for a size suggestion for the regular wool melton coat, and wow am I glad I did! The specialist compared the measurements to the sizing of each coat by size and then suggested I get a size 6 to accommodate the "oversize" fit, and also waived the final sale on my order in case I needed to return or exchange the item due to sizing. Though I'm hoping I don't need to either, this coat is a steal at $50 with the extra 50% off from $300!

I did end up calling j. crew and ordering what may be the last size 12 in coastal green that they have, so I suppose it will end up being large on me, but I guess that means more room for layering! hoping it ships ... the woman who placed the order for me said they were seeing one left in the whole country. crossing my fingers, and thanks for your input!

Let me know if you're on IG and I can tag you in the pics so you don't have to page through my account. I'm usually a 12 in outerwear and I sized down to a 10 in this coat and I still have some room, probably not enough to have gone down a second size though. To compare, in the regular cocoon coat I can't zip the 10 over my hips, in the patch pocket I can fully zip the coat.

The standout is the collection ribbed cashmere scarf (item b5132) -- this is the more expensive scarf, not to be confused with the collection cashmere ribbed scarf (item b5252). I ordered both. The first comes only in the basic colors of snow, navy and nickel -- I ordered snow and navy. The second comes in a full range of lovely JC colors -- I ordered periwinkle and heather orchid. I am keeping the two ribbed cashmere scarfs and returning the cashmere ribbed scarves. (Please better naming next time JC!) The former are fabulous. They are so thick and soft and unbelievable, so totally worth the $188 less 40%. The latter are very pretty colors but much thinner, more airy. They are still worth the $128 less 40%, and if I didn't have the two different items to compare, I would probably love them, but having them side by side, the latter just cannot compare, even with the prettier colors. I definitely highly recommend this first scarf, something that I have heard often on this website lately!AudreyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783881806028461090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-77409888178449352862015-01-21T14:34:05.000-05:002015-01-21T14:34:05.000-05:00does anyone have input about the sizing of the DOU...does anyone have input about the sizing of the DOUBLE-CLOTH PATCH-POCKET COCOON COAT, item b5348? I normally wear a size 10 at j.crew but a size 12 in outerwear, yet most of the reviews online rant about how oversized this jacket is, and of course none of the stores near me have any I can try on. if anyone can weigh in about whether one should go down a size in this coat, I would really appreciate it. I'm trying to grab the coastal green or the neon papaya, and they keep popping back in and out of stock, and final sale is making me weary. help, thanks!

Just a couple hours later, all that was left was L and XL I think. I really hadn't been checking the website early in the morning anymore but glad I did today. Also, when I stopped by the retail store yesterday evening to return the Harper glitter mermaid flats, they were marking down. There were only 3 items on the in store mark down list. I think they were all the Hugo Guinness little gift items.

I bought the factory version that was more of a gingham check in black and red with the double zipper but I think they are quite different enough (or at least that is what I am telling myself) to keep both. I ordered through a store and got it for 50% off instead of 40% off so that helped. If anyone wants to weigh in with an opinion on either vest, styling suggestions, etc. feel free.
