I got this coat for my 11/12 yr old who is too tall (5’8) for kids clothes albeit very thin %26 typically needs an XS or S in mens pending brand. We went with a S hoping for the length on his arms %26 torso, perfect. I think an XS would’ve done fine also but hopefully maybe we can get fall next year out of it too? It is spacious enough to wear heavy hoodies under %26 not be annoying according to him. It’s plenty warm enough in 16 degrees for a daily coat, would be okay for extended times outside with appropriate layers as well %26 also not “too puffy” which I understand can be annoying. We won’t use this coat for snow activities (seperate set also from Sam’s for coat %26 snow pants) but it is perfect for a daily coat.
Also: pockets galore!!! So many! The outside pockets have zippers which is fantastic - now the inside has large pockets on both sides, deep half torso length pockets! Nothings falling out of these, pictured is his switch in case - there are also taller pockets behind that! Then on the other side the switch in case fits too but tighter, perfect without case. So a iPad, notebook, book, whatever / would fit in these pockets plus the portioned off stitched ones that are slim would be great for like a flashlight or something! I’m really impressed. Considering ordering another in bigger size for next year… maybe additional color too.
Speaking of color - the brown is much more vivid in person, like a rust or darker terracotta, we LOVE this color so it’s a pleasant surprise but quite different than what shown incase that’s a big deal for anyone else. It’s lovely %26 I’m happy about it.
Great purchase!!!
Also, I took pics but won’t let me upload. Sorry! Tried to show color %26 amazing pockets.
