Got a new coat for Christmas and letting go of this one from last year that I've only worn four times. (Literally!)
It's a J. Crew double-cloth, double-breasted coat in a size T(all) 8, style name "Marie" and the catalogue color is called "majestic purple"-- which looks to me to be a purple-ish blue. It is a lovely, saturated hue; you'll stand out from the other winter coats. (P.S. - In my opinion, it's a spring/fall coat-- or a Southern winter coat-- I would not wear it during an NYC winter.)
Here's what J. Crew says about it:
Refreshingly modern with ultra-chic lines, a sleek silhouette and featuring a sophisticated standing collar. Made with our famous Italian wool/polyamide double-cloth that gives it a feeling of luxury. Classic fit. Slight cocoon shape to body. Double-breasted. Long sleeves. Raglan sleeves. Inverted back box pleat. On-seam hidden pockets. Button closure. Interior contrast piping. Fully lined. Falls to thigh.
It has a very casual, relaxed fit; it would be slightly cocoon shape if you're an 8 or a straight shape if you are a larger size (I'm currently a woman's 10/12, and the coat still fits). I'm about 5'9.5" and it falls to mid-thigh on me. The sleeves are raglan (as mentioned in the J. Crew description), which means they're a bit more generous with the shoulder cut (and also harder to measure), but I've provided the best measurements I can.
Measurements, lying flat & buttoned:
Shoulder to shoulder: 17"
Bust (underarm to undearm): 18"
Sleeve, shoulder to cuff: 23"
Length, nape (not including the 3.5" collar) to back hem: 33"
Waist - 19"
No back vents
I attached a couple of stock pictures, as my camera's on the fritz. The coat that the model is wearing is also the Marie coat in majestic purple.
Retail: $330
Yours: $100 - now $55, S&H to the U.S. included
