Tahari Women's Plus Size Marla Wool Blend Wrap Coat - Warm Winter Outerwear for Work, Travel & Special Occasions

At first I truly struggled with this coat...I agree with others that the shawl/hood is too tight if you have it pulled down to appear flat. However if you bunch it up more like a cowl neck, it fits fine. It may look too sloppy for some... But it's cozy.I'm 6' tall with broad shoulders and big frame...38D...super long arms.... 16/18 but want to layer sweaters so got a 2x.This is my goto jacket when I want a hood for wind or cold mist/snow... The hood is REALLY nice and deep .. Even when with a pony tail. The sleeves are wide enough for bulky sweaters underneath...and long enough, even for my octopus arms.At first it's awkward, and yes the pockets do end up over your stomach ... Kinda similar to a hoodie-sweatshirt which has a pouch in front, not sides. But I wrap it high and tight, tie the belt as high as comfortable, and bunch the hood around my neck like a giant cowl-turtleneck.The material is nice... Soft and well made. It's quality... But fits a bit oddly because the hood is so huge. My purse wants to slide off my shoulder... But I'm keeping the jacket now that I know how to make it work. It's warm, soft, comfortable, and keeps the wind off my neck. I love the cranberry color.It fits amazing with the hood up; I suspect that's how it's meant to be worn.Overall I love it... Although it requires a bit a rearranging ... It's worth it to me.
