Wool Ruffle-Front CoatClick here for product page
Item 17501
Regular: $268.00
This coat looks absolutely adorable with its ruffles in the front. According to J.Crew: "Made of sumptuously soft wool from a premier mill in Italy, this everyday coat is anything but basic with a feminine bias-cut ruffle at the center-front placket. Seamed shirt cuffs and an inset waistband add to the distinct tailored effect. Slight A-line shape. Rounded collar. Long sleeves. Ruffle detail at placket. Inset waistband. On-seam pockets. Fully lined. Hits at midthigh."
A big "thanks!" to KitsMommy (in this post), who shared her thoughts on this coat with us. The following is her review:
I ordered the Wool Ruffle Front Coat in camel...Now for the coat. The color is lovely. It is very similar to the camel Maggie I got last year. I also really like the length - it is great for my 5'4" smallish frame. I think the coat fits true to size and the style is excellent.
Now for the bad. I was a little disappointed in the fabric. It is a felted wool and just does not feel as nice as the Tuesday Trenches and Maggies I got last year. However, I doubt the unfinished ruffles will unravel due to the texture of the fabric.
The ruffles on my coat were awful and they were the dealbreaker. One side was fine, but the other was ruffled up way too much at the top and none at all at the bottom half.
I also do not like the large snap at the bottom of the placket. If looks fine when buttoned, but I would have preferred another button to having that huge snap on the coat.
Overall, I do not feel that the level of finish on the coat and fabric quality justify its price.
"Thanks!" again to KitsMommy for her great review!
