Help me decide please.

I have lost 50 pounds and none of my jackets fit. Still have 50 more to go. My old Denim and Co. fleece coat no longer fits. I want a fleece coat with some length, nothing too short. I was deciding between A209822( Denim and Co.) or A547117(Susan Graver).

Sorry I meant A547115 for Susan Graver.

I looked at both of them several times, going back and forth. I really like them both! If I were to choose, I would choose the Susan Graver jacket, only because it's a little longer and when it's chilly, that little bit matters. I do think the Denim & Co. version is super nice too.

@Allthingsgirly67 I don't know where you live to know how cold it gets in the late fall through the winter but for me, I need my winter coats to be longer than both of these choices. The Graver coat is a bit longer but still not long enough for me. The Graver is better I suppose although within the last few weeks she had a nicer coat that I would have chosen (A612297) but no hood. In fact i debated on this one for myself but I really do not need another winter coat.

If it were me, I would pick the Denim and Co. I think the Graver coat used to be a TSV snd I bought it. My adult son laughed when he saw me try it on. He said the reversible part looked bad because you could see the different colored seams at the shoulders and wherever, so it looked bad on both sides. I returned it and bought a different Graver polar fleece coat that was not reversible. Plus the D&C coat is $20 cheaper. Good luck making your decision.

I haven't worn or owned a coat in years but if I lived in cold country I would buy the Susan Graver. It looks more like a coat vs a short jacket or hoodie.

I’m on Long Island, New York- so this would be for chilly days. If and when a deep winter happens I have a very long Lands End jacket to fit the bill. I need a jacket for the shoulder ( no pun intended) seasons. Where you need something but not extreme.

Have you looked at D&C coat A619426? I like it better but the sizes and colors are getting limited.

Oh and congrats on the big weight loss! What is your secret?

Welcome to my world. 70 pounds down so all my coats are much to big. 15 to go so I won't buy a coat this winter. I belt my coats with my wide stretch belts. The two you are interested in are similar. One looked to be an inch or two longer. Choose the one you like.

SG. I like the longer length and it's reversible. Both overpriced but SG would be my choice.

I failed to mention my former coat was a sherpa. I’m leaning to the Susan Graver as well. I did go to LlBean ( I have Bean bucks) but it is a straight fleece sweater coat. The rep assured me that it would be fine for the shoulder seasons.

Honestly I would try neither. I have had Susan Graver coats and really liked them, however the prices from QVC all around are $20-40- more than last year. Not ok.

just search coats and see all the possibilites that come up for half price-and usually free shipping too!

@Allthingsgirly67 --first off--congrats on your weight loss!!! that is a huge accomplishment!!

Now, my suggestion is - Maybe instead of going to Eddie Bauer or Lands End go to jcpenney or target or Kohls and find one that won't cost so much---weight loss is a pricy thing just getting clothes to fit and then having to buy more when you get to your goal. Plus it is so much easier going to a brick/mortar store to try them on in person and knowing immediately, what fits instead of having to wait to get stuff ,then sending it all back because it doesn't fit. Just my opinion--- Not sure how easy anything is anymore.

congrats again!!

For me the Susan Graver coat would be too long and too wide.

I like the Denim and Co jacket.

I would go with the Susan Graver. It looks like a jacket that can take you more places. The denim & co. Looks like a jacket for just errands. I never had a Sherpa jacket so I do not know how warm they are. When it is 20 degrees will you be warm enough?

What do you mean by you need for shoulder?

Re: Help me decide please.

faeriemoon — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 14:57:04 GMT

I would choose the SG although I would like it better if it didn't have the weird seaming attempt to make it look like sherpa.

I think the OP means the "shoulder" season--between summer and fall or between fall and winter.
