Reversible Coats

I received a Lands End catalog yesterday. Very dangerous, so many cute things for spring. I saw this coat, liked the idea of two colors for different outfits. But I wonder how it looks, if it isn't a little shlumpadinka😊 How can it stay looking as crisp as the photos when it's reversible?

It's polyester and water resistant. It's $129, 40% off order coupon in the catalog. I don't care for the big giant pockets, I think they detract from the look of the coat.

I like. Those pockets are handy. I own a few reversible Susan Graver coats with similar pockets and it's nice to have them on both sides - great for stashing stuff securely inside the coat, while having them outside too for keeping hands warm and dry, dropping keys into, and the like.

Well, I confess. I have four SG reversible coats. Really, eight. Great fun to change the look.

I think the LE coat you show is vey cute. The stitching above those pockets adds a nice detail. The outerwear I've bought there has been well-made.

Not a fan of reversible anything. They just get sloppy.

That's practical coat! If you want to show off your figure - buy a tight-fitting 'figure coat'. But if you (like me) slop around getting groceries - hair done - filling your car with gas............you need/want a coat that lets you breath and get jobs done. To me, fashion isn't top of my grocery list.

I love Lands Ends jackets and have a closet full of them. I am partial to the Primaloft jackets and own four of them. I don’ t need another one, so I have to behave myselfwhen they price,them so low they almost give them away. I also have a long down coat and a squall jacket.

Last Spring I purchased a StormRaker jacket. I always buy them at a great discount. They offer petite sizes and the quality is there, so I am a fan.

I do like the reversible coat you posted..don't tempt me.

@Carmie I had a Lands End down coat up until two years ago when I donated it. So warm and it held up so well. True quality.

I like the jacket - especially the light blue side. Received their catalog yesterday - so many nice things and 40% off is great. Now I am tempted to get this coat. Love Lands End and have many of their coats, jackets.

@Greeneyedlady21,

Love reversible coats, jackets, two for one. I also admit that I usually prefer one side to the other, in your case the white it is🌻

Very cute! I'd totally make use of those pockets. I'd put my RFID credit card case with my debit card in one pocket with keys and tissue in the other. The grocery store would go so fast! Enjoy!

I had one I purchased at JJill years ago. It was black nylon raincoat fabric on one side and a faux velvet in black on the other. It was a topper worn just above the knee. I loved it.

That's a beautiful coat: nice clean lines. The good-sized pockets are a great bonus!
