Review: Tab-Waist Coat

December 12, 2009

tab-waist-coatI wanted to try out this coat from Old Navy when it was on a Cyber Monday Sale. They had some smoking deals!

Unfortunately it didn’t work for me, so the search for the perfect tall coat continues. I had tried on a large in the store, but it felt a bit snug for my broad shoulders. So I ordered an XL tall online. The shoulders fit great, but it was huge through the waist and hips. Even beyond the the fuller hip style, it felt strangely proportioned.

Summary:

Pros: Quality was decent, and seemed to be warm for a dress coat. Sleeve length was good.

Cons: Proportions between shoulders and waist/hips are odd.

Verdict: Didn’t work for me, so I am returning it. But it is a cute coat and may work for someone without my broad shoulders.

Buy Online: Old Navy
Price: $62.65
