I WAS VERY EXCITED TO FINALLY EXCHANGE MY OLD, DOWN COAT FOR A VEGAN OPTION. I LIVE IN BOSTON AND NEED A PROTECTIVE, VERSATILE OPTION FOR THE WINTER. I REALLY LOVE THE STYLE AND COLOR OF THIS COAT AND THE EXPANDED ZIPPERS AT THE WRISTS. I AM ABOUT 5'9" AND A 34DDD CHEST AND USUALLY ORDER A LARGE. AFTER LOOKING AT NOIZE'S STYLE GUIDE I CHOSE A MEDIUM AND WAS SURPRISED THAT IT FITS WHEN ZIPPED UP! IN THE SHOULDERS IT'S A BIT TIGHT AND RESTRICTIVE OF MOVEMENT (LIKE TYING MY SHOES OR REACHING FOR SOMETHING). BECAUSE IT'S VERY WARM I DON'T NEED THICK LAYERS UNDERNEATH IT AND WHEN I HAVE TRIED LAYERING WITH A THICK SWEATSHIRT IT WAS PRETTY UNCOMFORTABLE AND TIGHT. THE HOOD IS CUTE, DOESN'T COME DOWN VERY FAR ON MY FACE, AND THE FUR IS NOT REMOVABLE LIKE COATS I AM USED TO. DEBATING ORDERING A LARGE TO TRY AS WELL TO SEE IF IT ADDRESSES THE FEW ISSUES BUT OVERALL REALLY HAPPY TO HAVE A WINTER COAT I DON'T FEEL GUILTY WEARING!
