Has anyone purchased the Colletta coat by chance?
I'm wondering how the reviews are on it...is it TTS..sleeves too long, etc ? I might want to pull the trigger and use the 30% off on one.

I should have read further up..lol...NAB..did you end up getting it?

I ended up ordering it today with the 30% and free ship! I called and talked to CS about measurements - it seemed to run very TTS, which I was surprised at. The Lady Day Coat I sized down to a 4 last year, but the Colletta's size 6 measurements were almost identical, so I ordered the 6. Ordered the Plum, hope its pretty IRL. What color are you wanting?

^ I have the Plum, Olive and Black in my bag..kind of undecided.
Let me know what you think when you get it, okay?

^^ FYI: this coat (without Thinsulate) is on sale in-store for $159

^ Oh serious!!?? Thanks! **I'm on my way in the morning**
(Wonder why they do that ...and its not on sale online...hmmmm.)

 

[Needanotherbag]

Well darn, my order already placed and processing...oh well you win some you lose some. Odds are my store never even had this coat, they have pretty much nothing I ever want.

 

[miumiu8586]

but the stores only have black right? I was told a few weeks ago that only the colored version's are available online and black in store only? so how can I order the cobblestone for $159 + the additional markdown [provided I meet the minimum threshold]??

 

[DC-Cutie]

if the store doesn't have it they can still look up the in-store selling price and place the order for you via the red phone, insuring that you get the in-store price + discount.

^^^yep, I called my store this morning, she said if I wanted BLACK they can do that, otherwise I have to pay the online price for the color I want...so I feel better now as I dont need another black coat.

I went into my store and its true..they only have black. However, I needed a new black coat. I asked them about the price in~store(the 159.00 that DC Cutie mentioned) and she said they weren't that price but, they were 20% off plus the 25% for being over 150.00 so I went for it..179.00. I got a 2 regular and it fit perfectly. She didn't know what I was talking about when I mentioned the 159.00.. darn it)
My fun self side wanted the Plum..but I need to retire my Nordstrom Tulle one I've had for too long. I'll get it cleaned and then donate

 

[klj]

DC~ can it be just your store with the 159.00 deal? I find that sort of strange that my store didn't have it.

 

[DC-Cutie]

I'm certain I saw that coat, because there was a whole rack of them... I'll call my store when they open and let you know...

Thanks There were tons of them in my store too.

 

[DC-Cutie]

My SA just confirmed, yes, this is the coat I saw in dark plum w/out Thinsulate (but it's $169, not the $159 I quoted... close enough - LOL) :

FYI: this is at the Georgetown store. Ask for Jen, she's extremely helpful and shipping from the store or if she has to place the order via redphone is waived

Hi everyone! I ordered the Bonbon coat in dark plum and I'm excited to get it! I hope that it fits! http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/outerwear/wool/PRDOVR~29576/29576.jsp
