Fit Review Friday! Banana Republic Cropped Denim Trench Coat and Anthropologie Pilcro Shrunken Denim Jacket
Happy Friday! I've been on the hunt for a denim jacket for fall. I really liked Vuori's Vintage OS Denim Jacket but the XXS is sold out and I haven't seen it restocked. It's also $188 so it has to be a perfect fit which is why I don't want to settle for XS. Let's find out if Pilcro's or Banana Republic's Denim jacket are keepers.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XS or PXS.
I love the wash of this denim blue jacket. Pilcro really did an amazing job on the color and fading. I'm a fan of color variation on denim, I think it makes it look more interesting and lived in. Gives it a little bit of character without having to heavily distress the denim.
I'm wearing size XS and the length hits at my waist which is fine, it's not too cropped. However, it makes my body look very rectangular which isn't doing me any favors. Sleeves are a bit too long and I have them cuffed up once. Overall, I think it's an okay denim jacket but I am looking for something a little more flattering.
Next up, we have Banana Republic's Cropped Denim Trench Coat. I picked this one because of the dark wash, I prefer dark denim over light denim. I absolutely love the flared collar. It has a zipper and snaps so you could change up the look.
I'm wearing size XXS and the body fits loose, but still works on my petite frame. The length hits at my lower hip. However, the sleeves are too long and too wide.
(Looks great open too!)
I just could not get over the sleeves. I think it ruined the jacket for me. If only the sleeves are not so wide, I would have kept this one.
From the back, it looks like a cape. I love the details of this jacket.
Overall, I am sad that this one didn't work out because I had high hopes for this jacket. I am happy that Banana Republic is stepping up their game. I'm sure this jacket will work for regular folks, but I need petite sizing for this. I am disappointed Banana Republic is not offering more jackets in petite sizing. I really need it for this piece! The denim is also very soft. I absolutely would have loved to wear this one in the fall.
What do you think? Am I making the right call on returning both of these denim jackets? That's it for me, hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Enjoy the last weekend of summer and don't forget to check out all the sales! For those in the US, enjoy the long weekend.
