Bonus: it looks like it has a vest under!

Seriously though, I like it, and like that the quilting looks nicer than a lot of coats (looking at you, northface). So of course I had to look because I had never heard of this brand, and now I want this Bernardo Suede Shirt Jacket | Nordstrom ... too bad they don't have petites.

I was having zipper issues with my go-to rain jacket in Austin, so I have been looking at the famous Jojo model. I am just not in love with the colors available in my size.

The "vest" is removable but I think it adds to the warmth.

Easier to see in this color:

The jacket is cute and a great color for you. I love the Nordstrom "models;" always helpful info

Mtn that coat looks very warm! I have an irrational bias against chevron baffles (I think they make me look like a turtle or armadillo) but I do have a heavy jacket that has a removable zip-in puffer liner that can be worn by itself as a light jacket--- so handy for changeable weather or a wide range of temperatures.There's no downside to keeping something from Nordstrom's for as long as it takes for you to decide.

I wish the Eddie Bauer GirlontheGo coat still came in a brick red or a light tan because I would buy it just on the strength of the many recommendations from GWers, but in a tall size because I like a longer coat.

Ok, I tried the GirlontheGo coat and it was a no-go on me.

The GirlontheGo coat is very plain cotton-like material without much detailing and the green color it came in was more Pine than Olive. Overall on me, with my linebacker shoulders, DD2 said it gave her "assistant coach vibes." It is prob better in blue or black.

I also would need to size up in that one (heaven forbid!) to accommodate say, a thick sweater.

Growing every fonder of this "Transformer" coat with its accordion sides. Still cannot figure out how to wear it as a backpack!? They must've poached the guy who writes "instructions" for Ikea furniture.

I also ordered the jojo coat in size medium. I am a medium in almost everything unless I want something oversized (sweatshirts). I love the coat. However, it's too small in the bust area. I would say I am very mid size in the bust - B cup. It fit perfectly everywhere else. Sleeves may be a little long but that doesn't bother me, and I actually prefer longer vs shorter.

I've reordered it in large because I do really like it. It should arrive tomorrow. Hoping it works because I do like it and I think it fits what I need.

Looking forward to your review to see if you have the same issue.

I do like the one you got. It does look very warm, and very stylish.

LOL; my reviwe is above. What color did you get?

Mtn, if you are currenlty having wet weather, ideally wet & windy weather, please go out side in the Nordstrom coat and check how the coat withstands water, particularly the sides. I like the look and idea of that cost but some reviews mentioned it not being very water resistent. Thanks.

LOL, the snow is done. Plus I worried if i get it wet, can i take it back? When do you need it?

I can wait until you wear it on your river cruise (?). I just thought ”we” could strike while the iron was hot, or the skies were wet as it were. I don’t need another coat, but it did catch my eye.

You know actually I forgot I decide to keep it either way. I shall let you know when it is UL tested

ha, I read your review and didn't realize it was THAT EB coat.

I got black.

So it wasn't tight in the chest area for you? This is weird because I am not an odd size. I mean, I do not have clothing not fit my chest area when it fits everywhere else.

I think my size L arrives today.

I bought my EB coat about 8 years ago and as I described in Jojo's original post it has become my go-to winter coat replacing my LL Bean down coat. Fortunately I was able to try it on in the store and see the different colors. It was a toss between black and really dark navy but since I have a closet full of black coats I went with the dark navy. Mtn mentioned that it was a 'very plain cotton-like material.' I don't see that on my coat but it is most noticeable on the photo of the grey heather coat. I also went up one size to allow extra room for bulkier sweaters.

My girls on the go coat definitely gives off varsity vibes. I just prefer to think of myself as a player vs a coach. Most important feature is that it is waterproof which is why it is so warm. The wind cannot penetrate it at all.
