Happy Friday! It's getting chilly here in Atlanta! I went to Vuori to see if they had the Lou Reversible Jacket for me to try-on and they did. I also got to see Cherry Noir in person and the color is more of a brighter red than the website shows. I thought it was going to be more of a deep burgundy wine, but it's on the brighter side. Slightly disappointing, but my wallet is happy. 😅
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XXS/XS in Vuori. I also wear size PXS/XS in Athleta and size 4/6 or XS/S in Lululemon.
The Lou Reversible Jacket in French Roast reminds me of a teddy bear. I am wearing size XS and it is slightly large on me. I think size XXS would have been more flattering but sadly Vuori does not carry that size in store.
The fleece isn't very soft, but it feels more durable than your normal fleece. The jacket is well made and the quality is there. I think it's priced a little high at $218, but it is reversible so it's like two jackets in one and you could justify it based on that if you love the style.
The jacket hits at the low hip.
On the flip side is woven fabric with PrimaLoft insulation. Wearing it this way feels way more cozy with the fleece on the inside. Especially since the sleeves are also lined in fleece.
Surprisingly the sleeve length wasn't bad. Overall, I liked it but I didn't love it. I would definitely size down if you're interested in trying this jacket.
I also like that there are pockets on both sides!
Next up we have the Canyon Insulated Roam Jacket . The fleece collar pulled me in when I saw this jacket hanging on the rack. I'm wearing size XS and it's a little oversized but it still works. It does come in XXS and I probably would prefer sizing down.
Jacket hits at the hip and the sleeves are just sightly long. This is a lightweight jacket and feels fairly warm. Price is the same as the Lou Reversible Jacket. Between the two I think the Lou Reversible Jacket is the better deal, but the Canyon Insulated Roam Jacket is more flattering in my opinion.
That's it for me! Hope you all have a great weekend. Stay warm friends!

Thanks for the fit review, Leslie. I was tempted to give the Lou Reversible Jacket a try but with tax it comes to Canadian dollars $337! Believe it or not, it’s sold out in most sizes.
ReplyDeleteLLL has released a few PrimaLoft outerwear and the High-Loft PrimaLoft Ultrapeak Puffer is kind of cute.

Hi Andrea! That is way too much for the Vuori jacket. I would pass!! It's insane that most of the sizes are sold out. SMH.
DeleteThe PrimaLoft Ultrapeak Puffer is cute. It also looks a lot like my Hoodied Insulated Wrap Coat. https://www.petiteimpact.com/2023/12/fit-review-friday-my-lululemon-black.html
I still really like the City Sleek Jacket. The sleeves are just so long though!! I wonder if it's worth getting it hemmed...
I do love the love of the City Sleek Jacket, both the long and the short versions but like you said the sleeves are sooooooooo long! Saw them at the stores last winter and didn’t even bother to try them on. I’m also not a big fan of the snap buttons.
DeleteI remember the Hooded Insulated Wrap Coat and it’s really cute on you! It’s like putting on a big fluffy cloud! : D
Andrea
I'm not a fan of snap buttons either. That and the sleeves will deter me from trying it again lol.
DeleteThanks! It is getting cold and I look forward to wearing the fluffy blanket, it is soooo warm. Such a great coat.
I like how the jacket is reversible and so cosy looking. But the Canadian pricing is kind of steep.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the Canyon Insulated Roam Jacket, but I'm not a huge fan of the colors that are available. The Lou Reversible Jacket is kind of nice, but I agree, a size down would probably be more flattering.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that Cherry Noir isn't as pretty in person! I've been staring at the Halo Baby Tee in that color, but it's hard to jusify the price in CAD with shipping, especially if the color isn't as pretty as it looks online. I can cross it off my list!
