I bought this jacket today.... The website/iPad app does not do this item justice!

There is a removable gilet inside and a second hood for extra layer and 'both' hoods can be removed for a lighter jacket and the best thing about this? It's the removable leather sleeves!!

This jacket could be worn as a winter coat with the inside gilet buttoned in, with the double hood and with the removable sleeves, it could be worn as a light gilet for the warmer season! It was the last jacket in store and it was an xs, I had to snap it up!!

Hi,

I love your new Zara jacket. Would you say it is a fitted style? How is the sizing?

Thanks!

Thanks! You should look at the one with the leather sleeves as well... I do prefer the quality on this one. It could double up as winter coat!

Thank you doll :smile1:
$179 seems a bit much for my student budget though but I'm considering it. I don't know if I can pull off leather sleeves though >.<
We don't have these yet, a customer was already looking for it.

I'm very petite and with the sleeves, and the gilet... It's a little bulky... But it's got the drawstring at the waist so i just tightened it... I wore the jacket as a gilet today, without the leather sleeves, the inner gilet and the extra hood... And looks really good! I love it!

Just unzipped the leather sleeves off!!! I think the gilet khaki parka style will be the next big thing this season.... But do compare it with the one you was originally going to get... You will know what I mean when you do!

I've been to two Zara stores, and the jacket is going fast!

How does everyone find the sizing in Zara? I was in the other day and ended up trying on a size 8 skirt, i am definitely not a size eight, usually a 10 but even the 8 was big. Vanity sizing perhaps?

Perhaps it's just me but I find Zara's sizing to be very variable. In the store I frequent it doesn't seem to have "sizes" but rather extra small, small, medium, large, extra large.

While my weight can fluctuate quite a bit I find its really important to try things on in Zara due to fit, I have items that are a small and items that are a large just because I found the fit better in some pieces. I don't find their sizes to be particularly consistent, but again this may just be my experience.

The gilet option appeals to me the most as I have been looking for a nice parka style one for a while. I think the versatility of the three styles will be very beneficial in the UK weather, lol.

Thanks so much for the reply and enjoy your lovely new jacket!

You're welcome! I really like this style of the parka ... When you have the additional gilet and the hood attached, with the leather sleeves, I can see it being a really warm jacket and definitely useful for UK weather. Are you based in the UK too?

I got an embroidered sleeve leather jacket on sale and it's becoming one of my favourite pieces. I looove it! The jacket doesn't photograph so well but in reality it looks great. Especially the sleeves. Hope the attachments work fine as I'm posting on my phone.
