j.crew review: stadium cloth duffle coat in light nectar.

Hi everyone!

Just under the wire, I wanted to post up a review of a coat before the 30% off promo ends tonight. This is of the Stadium Cloth Duffle Coat in Light Nectar.

I ordered it when it was on sale during the 30% off cardholder promo, but it seems they are now taking the 30% off of the original price. Oh the price games J.Crew.

I never really noticed this coat, to be honest, until it went on sale and I saw it looking cute in a Polyvore set. Knowing how much I love the stadium cloth material for our cold winters, I wanted to check out that pink color IRL. I have a peachy peacoat from several years ago that is too big for me now, and thought perhaps I'd replace it with something longer, warmer and hooded.

Didn't expect to love this one as much as I do!  The color is a great lightish pink. Not too light, not too dark, not too peachy, not too bubble gum. Just right IMO. How do they do that? The hood is a perfect size, and doesn't seem like it'll blow off at the first gust. The buttons are covered up for a clean look. There is some nice detailing -- tabs at the cuffs, little stripy pocket and trim inside the lining. 

I went with my normal size 4. If I sized down, the arms would be too tight for sure. The pockets are a little tricky to get into, my only con. But if I'm wearing this one, I've got some warm gloves on, so it's cool.

What do you think of this coat? Did you receive any coats from the recent promo?

p.s. I added a quick snap of me in the Herringbone Excursion Vest in my previous post, in case you missed it. Love it, and sized down to an XS.
