I just bought the down for it all men’s jacket in Size M yesterday for myself and i did try on the women’s one but it really was tight around my stomach area and chest and I like a loose fit to put a shirt on underneath but I can’t help but like feel like I just don’t look like the models wearing the women’s down for it all jacket and so I went for the men’s and It’s comfier, has a double zipper! I started looking at the men’s clothes and some of the stuff looks comfier so does anyone else by stuff from the men’s? Like I hate a tight fitting shirt around my chest / armpits (love a loose baggy tee) but all the women’s ones seem to be tighter (minus all yours tee, I know that).

    100% i just did this for the rain jacket. The level of form fitting for the coats don’t make a lot of sense to me, I like to layer under my coats. Even sizing up with the women’s sizing looks weird I think… because it’s supposed to be form fitting, then they just look too big!

      I tried sizing up to fit the women’s down for it all coat and when I got the chest and shoulder part big enough, I was swimming in the sleeve length! I used to have a rain jacket but I was skinny skinny but I’ve gained weight and I like loose fitting tees around my armpits so I can layer too! I showed my friend and he said “wtf is up w the hourglass torso” and I’m like I have no idea and I like the look of it but it just wasn’t as comfy as the men’s one

        omg, I know! I bought that exact coat last year and it “fits” but I can’t wear more than a simple top underneath, maybe a light sweater. Which is fine, but definitely not an option for when it’s cold enough to want to layer. I’d hoped for something that would fit like my husbands icebreaker. Next time I’ll go with a different brand.

          I just feel like there are other coat brands that I know have a bit of a looser fit and basically be more in line to what I want. I was lucky and had a gift card and my mom paid for the remainder so it was like 23$? Cuz it was on sale. Otherwise I’d normally get my coat someplace else but I’m poor lol
