Eddie Bauer Women's Insulated Trench Coat - Waterproof Winter Jacket for Outdoor Activities, Travel & Commuting

This was a nice, more tailored rain shell. It didn’t have an abundance of pockets,but was very simple. I ordered a small and it fit well. I needed a liner than could be removed and it did not have that. I could have sworn I read this was the one that had the lining, but I was wrong. I returned it.I am 5'1", 112 lbs. I bought a medium petite size (instead of small petite) based on the reviews. The coat fits me perfectly with room for a fleece jacket and long sleeve shirt under. The sleeves are a little long, but I have that problem with all the jackets and sweaters. I ran water on the coat and it is waterproof. The coat has a removable liner and I count on it to keep me warm for a trip to Ireland in September. I recommend the coat because it is well made, stylish and the purple color is very nice.Bought the tall/long in a large and love it. Pockets are proportionally correct! Length is awesome. Two drawbacks are my hair (super long) keeps getting caught in the button in liner (user error?) and it's pointless to wear a hoodie under the jacket as the shoulders are a tad slim, but since I bought it as a dressier coat... Not worried.I was looking for a *waterproof* trench or raincoat for an upcoming trip to a rainy European location....yet I also needed something that could be warm enough (with layers) if the temps dipped at night. This coat seems ideal. I followed the advice of some other reviewers who noted the coat ran small or was narrow in the shoulders and sized up one size from my usual size. Ordered an XL (rather than usual L), and it fits perfectly with some room to spare. I can easily wear a light wool sweater and a thermal undershirt under the lining if it gets cold. The coat is long (almost to the knees) for good coverage, but unzips at the bottom if needed for walking or sitting. There sleeves are long. The slightly fitted waist creates a gentle hourglass shape that looks sharp. I love the dark eggplant color. Got this coat for 50% off during an Eddie Bauer sale period. Haven't tested it out in the rain yet, but I'm feeling confident it will do the job and be warm and chic while doing it. The coat seems to be the perfect coat at the perfect size to meet my travel needs. Note: This is not one of those travel coats that bunches up in a little ball to stick in a bag. I anticipate wearing this coat while travelling and every day while on my trip, so I did not need for it to be super tiny / packable.I am a larger woman who usually wears a size 18. I ordered the XXL by looking at the size chart. The coat is beautiful, and fits like a glove....will not be able to wear bulky sweaters under it with the lining buttoned in. We are going on a cruise in the Baltic sea (8 countries-different weather) the last of September and first of October....weather might be iffy between cool and cold!...I think with the lining in, I should be ok without having to wear a heavy sweater under it....the only alteration that needs to be done is the sleeve length....for me too long by almost two inches...I am 5'5" and this coat hits me right above my ankles which will help keep my posterior dry and warm....very nice fabric.....looking forward to taking this coat on our trip. Can be dressed up or just casual wear.Beautiful jacket. All sewing is done better than most. Nicely tailored while allowing a roomy feel.Fine quality coat!This coat has a warm lining for cooler temperatures that can be removed for use as a rain coat. It is light weight, and still can be worn over a sweater. It is also machine washable which saves on dry cleaning bills.This coat is warm enough with the lining for cool rainy days and I ordered a large so I could layer under it for colder weather. I would have liked more pockets which is why I gave it four stars instead of five, but it does have a small zippered extra pocket plus the two regular ones. Overall I like it very much.
