FRANCES | Slim hooded parka with full zip
FRANCES | Slim hooded parka with full zip
The zipper does not stick, which sounds like nothing until you have fought with one in a cold parking lot.
Parkas are usually where women our age give up on shape entirely. They are warm, they are practical, and they hang off the body like a bag with a hood on it. Frances is cut close enough to have a line, which is why it ends up worn to lunch and not only to walk the dog.
The fit is slim rather than boxy, following the body down from the shoulder instead of dropping straight. The insulation is light, which is what allows that closer cut to still go over a sweater. The zipper runs the full front and is heavy enough to pull smoothly with one hand, and the hood is attached so it is never left behind.
Why women our age keep coming back to it
- A parka with a shape. The slim cut follows the body rather than hanging from the shoulders, so it does not read as outdoor gear.
- A zipper that behaves. Heavy enough to run smoothly in the cold and to pull one-handed.
- Close-fitting but still layers. The insulation is thin, so a slim cut does not mean choosing between the coat and your sweater.
- Seven colors. Khaki, Blue, Black, Gray, Green, Red and Yellow, in S through 3XL.

How it fits
Frances is cut slim and comes in S through 3XL. This is the one coat here where sizing up is not optional advice but the usual answer: a close fit plus a sweater underneath needs the room. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one. You have thirty days to try it at home.
30 days to change your mind
If it does not find its place in your closet, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. No restocking fee, no questions.

Sized up as advised and it is right. My usual size would have been tight over a jumper. Dixie A., Boise
