Ellos Women's Faux Fur Trim Parka Jacket

This jacket turned out much better than I expected. I worried about the fit and the quality of manufacture, but it is excellent in both regards. The stitching is strong so that I can expect the jacket to last for years, and the styling has a number of conveniences. It is windproof and very warm, even in a Minnesota January. The two-way zipper allows the bottom to be unzipped for comfortable driving. The vinyl zipper is durable and not prone to jams. Buttons and loops offer an alternative closure to the zipper. The deep easily-accessed front pockets can hold gloves and even hats. The cuffs have a velcro tab that keeps them snug. The hood is protective without being too oversized. I like to buy my winter jackets oversized (I bought a 3x although I typically wear a 2x) so that I can fit thick polartec vest underneath for the worst winter weather or when I prefer to zip my vest but leave my jacket open for ventilation. My only recommendation would be for the hood to have a tie-cord so that it could be secured in place.
