J.team's 25% off plus free ship over $a hundred (use code LOVEFALL) ends tonight. I began coat shopping numerous weeks in the past in my quest for a traditional camel coat. This coat appeared promising - it seems notable equipped on the model or even is available in a 00P (J.crew lengthy coats used to start at length 0P).

Likes: On me (around five' tall and 95lbs), the 00P suits very well at some stage in. The shoulders, waist area, sleeve and overall duration suit nicely on me (I observed J.team made lots of their coats longer this season, which does now not bode nicely for a person brief like myself). The torso of this coat allowed for a few layering room however turned into not cumbersome. And lastly, i've been keen on the double cloth texture, the pretty lining, and the buttons with strengthened backs which might be traditional of J.team coats.

Dislikes: I wasn't in love with the navy shape as i'm seeking out a traditional camel coat. i used to be additionally now not keen on the shiny buttons that felt like lightweight aluminum (would love a tortoiseshell-button coat), however they do healthy the military subject matter.

I try all coats on with flat shoes, since I rarely commute during the winter in heels. The proportions of this coat (higher belted waist, shorter overall length) still look good with flats on.

Verdict: Returned and holding out for something more classic. However, the fit is smaller and more flattering than the J.Crew coat I bought last year (see this post and this post for my video review).
