Oh nooo! Maybe you'll like it?? But.. I dont think it's worth the money. I dont think I'd spend more than $100 for it. You know how any wool item, whether its a wool mix or 100% wool, usually is pretty heavy and almost felt-like? This coat feels like a strange acrylic/polyester mix. It's really bizarre and hard for me to explain lol.

Well I live in Oregon so we have really mild seasons. The weight isn’t an issue for me. The color, drape and movement are what I’m looking to in this coat. I have medium brown skin so I wanted a warm tan/color less beige. We will see. I plan on pressing it and knotting the belt behind leaving the coat open in front. {heavy sigh} we will see.

I think my “clever” trick has backfired on me. I ordered the Rails Ingrid shirt from the NSale and love it, but then I saw what I thought was the same shirt on the Rack website for $40 ($70 less). So I ordered it, of course, intending to return the NSale one. They appeared identical on the site...same measurements, sizing, color name, etc. Except as you can see, there’s actually quite a difference in color in person.
Rack on the left, NSale on right.View attachment 5141887View attachment 5141888Sadly for me I greatly prefer the cooler toned one on the right, as far as color and also a greater contrast in the acid-washed areas. So I guess I’ll be keeping the $110 one...unless you guys think I’m being ridiculous and can tell me to stop splitting hairs and save myself $70.
Anyway lesson learned. I’ll not be experimenting anymore lol.

Like you I much prefer cool toned clothing and a warm undertone does not suit my skin at all. Go with the one you love. You won’t wear the other one meaning it won’t end up being good value.

I ordered on the 16th as well, regular shipping, and it had an estimated date of 7/30-8/2. My order is in transit and will be delivered tomorrow. Another item I ordered a couple of days later had the same delivery estimate but will be here Friday.
Someone theorized earlier that they are probably putting these extended delivery times out so that if they do get backed up with sending orders out, they have a larger window to get them filled. I think that's probably a safe guess. It might keep people from overwhelming customer service asking why their stuff hasn't shipped yet.

So Wheel of Fortune really is the only explanation for the system.........

for anyone who has done returns in store: is it chaotic? it has been years since I’ve tried to make a return in store during NAS, is there a dedicated line/register for returns? Thanks!

I think that depends on how organized you are. If you have your tags on the items and packing slips matched to the items it goes super fast. I take mine returns to any open register regardless of a dedicated line.

There were just the two in that print. There was also a smaller black plaid print but the fabric was different and not nearly as soft.

So you have enabled me to order the other color of the BDG UO flannel even though I was confused by the pattern in-store! I ordered 2 sizes of the Lilac color and the smaller one canceled last night, so I grabbed the smaller size in the purple stripe color instead, haha. Hopefully they don't cancel that on me also!

But a qq for you since you already have them in hand: Have you washed them yet and if so, how do they hold up? It's not a usual flannel cotton (65 viscose/35 poly) so I wanted to see what you think!

I still haven't seen this Reiss coat everyone is talking about! But if it helps, I noticed that Selfridges has a bunch of Reiss jackets, blazers and wool coats on super sale right now, along with Allsaints, Sandro, Joseph and similar "vibe" brands.
Click to expand...
Out of these brands I totally recommend Joseph for fit and quality. I have joseph coats that are over 10 years old that I still love. I’ve bought their knits, dresses, and blouses. The only item that doesn’t work for me is their trousers as I think they suit women with a straighter hip. They have beautiful fabrics...

Thank you! But definitely don't rush on my account!:D I assume that material wouldn't shrink like cotton flannel sometimes does... the care instructions say to line dry, so I would guess a dryer might really mess it up, lol.

I'm kind of over trying to get quality for a decent price so I decided to buy this Frame coat from Revolve. At least I can trust it'll be decent quality at 90% wool and 10% cashmere, plus I got an additional 15% off so the price wasn't all too bad. Thanks Nordies sale, but no thanks. I tried :P.

On another note, I just got my first online order shipment which had two pairs of blondo sneakers, the nordies moonlight pajama set and a nordstrom branded black waist belt. I will be returning both shoes - I got a 9.5 in both and the nude ones feel too short in length, while the black ones are too tight on the tops and also in length. I won't bother getting a 10 in either because the zippers on the one pair annoy me and the nude ones felt big everywhere other than length.

I washed it and used a Trader Joe's lavender dryer sachet so it smells okay now. Don't think it faded or anything in the wash. The inside is still soft but this year's "Amazing" sweatshirt is just a "Whatever, I guess it's soft and it does have pockets" sweatshirt. I get they are cutting costs and all, but don't mess with the best sweatshirt, Nordstrom!

Also, I think it's the black dye that smells strongly, because I purchased some of the men's Zella lounge pants for my SO and his pants still smell like dye after a wash!

I bought the pink mauve Zella sweatshirt and it also had a very strong smell when I took it out of the plastic. I haven't washed it yet - hoping that smell goes away.

There's a dedicated section in the store for returns. I've always count the number of items returning, wrote down on a separate piece of paper the item, the order number and the price. So that I could match the items as it is being returned. Also handy when they couldn't find it via scanning and I just give them the order number associated with the item. I also tally up the total amount returning so it matches the total returned. I always triple check afterwards on everything, but that's just because I'm super anal plus a couple of times in the past there's errors and I don't trust them at all.

Yes I always go with a receipt or order number. I had an issue with a return once and so now I add up and now the general total of what I'm returning. Generally, at my Nordstrom there is a desk/service center that takes the return
