I've owned a lot of Banana coats over the past decade, and this is actually my favorite. This coat is thick and definitely warm enough for an LA winter (which can get down to the high 40s). The description states that this coat has a relaxed fit in the chest and arms and, indeed, it is relaxed - n...o surprise there (not sure why people are shocked by the fit). I think the reviews saying this coat is too large are written by people who failed to read the description or watch the video, and are more comfortable with a slim fit coat. I'm 5'2", 140lbs. Got the Small based on the size guide, but will be sizing down to an XS for a slightly more streamlined fit. I could easily wear a Small if I wanted to layer underneath, but LA winters are mild so I don't need the extra room for thick layers. I do like that there are no shoulder pads and that there's more room in the arms/shoulder region. Love the relaxed fit and the fact that it is single breasted. Not a fan of double breasted coats. Really like the material: it's pliable, not stiff like some other wool coats. The collar however has structure and stands up to cover your neck. I have other coats with unstructured collars, which I find useless. I also have coats from other brands including Other Stories and Arket, and this coat is my favorite of all the coats I've bought over the past 5 years
I absolutely love everything about this coat and SO wanted the other reviews to be more interpretive than actual... but they were all right. All the details of this coat are spot on. The material, weight, fabric, length, closure, buttons, color, shape - I LOVE all of it... except for the fit. I was ...hoping it would read like The Row and their oversized silhouettes, but it's just not right. I'm a size small, 4/6, 125 lbs, 5'7". The XS was sold out, so I went for the small. But it just feels like a blanket draped around me. When unbuttoned, you can style it in a cute way (like the model photos), but once you start moving around and how it actually wears, it looks silly and unrefined. Super bummed to be sending it back, but back it goes.

I really liked the look of this coat but I just could not get a good fit. I'm a size 18 or XXL normally but that size in the coat seemed not just oversized, but way too big. I sized down to an XL and the overall fit was much better but the neck was insanely tight. I would have had to wear it unbuttoned at all times which defeats the purpose of a winter coat for me. Ultimately I returned both. I really wanted to like this coat but something was off with the make of it in regard to sizing.

gap.comI am OBSESSED with this coat. Perfectly oversized with a unique popped collar. Get tons of compliments. I have it in gray and navy and I'm obsessed with both I hope they come out with more colors. It does run a size big so size down if you don't want it to be overly oversized

gap.comThey cannot be serious with the sizing and there must've been an error. An extra extra small would fit a 200 pound woman. The widest part is also around the stomach. Feels the same as an aritzia coat for double the price, and with a lower wool content. So disappointed with this one.

Been wanting to add a long winter jacket in my collection and this was perfect. I went with a Medium like the reviews suggested and it fit perfect. I usually wear Large . I love that it's oversized, slouchy and edgedy . Thought it was going to be heavy and it's not. I am very happy that I purchased this jacket.

I researched for HOURS trying to find another fully lined, oversized wool coat in this color to no avail. This piece is basically unbeatable. I'm usually a M, and the XS was perfect on me! (5'2', 140 lb)

I'm absolutely in love with this coat. I'm 5'5" and about 140 lbs, and when I went into the Banana Republic store they only had a small left. I was a little nervous about how it would fit, but it turned out to be perfect. It gives that elegant oversized look without feeling too big or bulky. The quality and style are exactly what I was hoping for—it feels polished, timeless, and very "me." I've already received several compliments on it. Definitely one of my favorite purchases from Banana Republic this season.

This is a lovely coat. Extremely cozy - not too heavy, but still warm. Versatile for late fall /winter wear that can be dressed up or down. I agree with other shoppers that it runs large - so be sure to size down. It is just what I was looking for.
