Faux Sherpa Cocoon Coat - Black

This coat is sooo comfortable and warm. It's so soft and nice to wear! The thumbholes are an amazing addition and the hood is so large, it's perfect!

This is like a giant fuzzy blanket that you can wear all the time. It says dry clean only which is usually an immediate no from me, but I've washed it on gentle because I loved it too much to return it, and it seems to be holding up just fine.

I've had this coat for about a year now and I still reach for it all the time, I recently wore it while stargazing on a cold desert night in the middle of nowhere and was well-protected while also looking cute (not that anyone could see me in the dark, but I knew)!

It is perfect for when the weather is nice enough that you want to sit outside but you need some protection from the elements. Snuggle yourself up in this baby. I love that the area with the thumb holes is thick and squishy. I love the big hood that fits over my hair easily no matter what style it's in and protects my neck and ears from chill.

Mine had to be dry cleaned after a campfire s'mores roasting in which little strings of marshmallow became entangled in the Sherpa fabric so be careful and don't do what I did, but it came through the dry cleaning process just fine.

Sensory issues friends: the fabric is very soft. Personally I can't feel any seams when I am wearing it. Mine fits really loosely. Having just the toggle instead of a zipper is great for me (sound/texture). The thumb holes give your hands a very gentle squeeze but you can skip using them and no one would ever know they are there.

I saw this and wanted it in black from the first moment! It is pricey, and worth every penny. It's just like wearing a chic, soft blanket. It is already my go-to winter layering piece and I love that I can wear it around the house like a mini robe. I also love wearing it under my black winter puffy coat; it sits like an expensive scarf all piled around my face. So stylish. I have gotten comments that it looks very warm (which it is!).

I have worn this on its own in above 40 degree weather and it has kept me perfectly warm, even on a windy ferry ride. Under 40, I layer it under my tried-and-true black puffy jacket.

I am 4'11" with hourglass figure, athletic build. I ordered XXS/XS and the sizing is nearly perfect. For me personally, my forearms are much more developed than the average woman. The cuffed sleeves on this coat sit much tighter than I expected around my wrists. I am not able to push the sleeves up at all (!!) for washing my hands or doing dishes, which is a bummer. Conversely, when I want to use the thumbholes, they fit like a glove.

Now that I have been wearing this coat everyday for a week in different winter climates, including on a plane and a ferry, I would like to suggest some ideas for a next iteration:
- As other reviewers have mentioned, the pockets are placed too far back to be functional. Their positioning makes it so I find myself getting caught as I go by lever door handles. It does not feel comfortable to put my hands in the pockets, so I don't. This is disappointing, but I was prepared for it having read other reviews. And, like other reviewers, this significant critique is still not enough to keep me from giving this coat five stars because the coat overall is SO AMAZING. It would just feel better if the pockets were in a more ergonomic place!
- I would LOVEEE if this had fold-over mittens, like on the packable puffer!! I have been enjoying wearing this out as my primary winter jacket when it's above 40 degrees, and now I want it to be my everything-winter-coat lol.
- I do love the thumbholes, please keep. :)
- It would look amazing if this had some way to cinch in at the waist when I want to look more sleek. Possibly soft internal or external drawstrings, a belt, or some other solution I have not thought of. This coat looks super stylish under my black puffy jacket, with my black fanny pack belted at the waist (over the puffy jacket) and turned backwards. It just looks like a really nice belted jacket.
- As others have said, it would feel good to have the option to close up more tightly in the front when I want to keep the wind out. The toggle is SO CUTE. I love the faux leather strap and loose blanket vibe... yet also want the option to be snug as a bug in a rug. Is there a way to keep the toggle but be able to close up more tightly? I'm thinking maybe snaps but I love that everything about this coat is so soft and warm; I'm leaning away from the idea of cold metal of snaps...
- Lastly, I saw myself walking by a full-length mirror with this on and thought it would look SO CUTE if it went down to my knees, like a long winter jacket! Would 10x the blanket vibes. The length is honestly perfect as-is, but might be fun if there were a full-length option?? I'm thinking "house robe that you can wear outside"...... Not sure how this would look on, but wanted to throw it out there!

THANK YOU FOR BIRTHING THIS AMAZING COAT INTO THE WORLD, CASSEY!!!! It is a DREAM. My favorite winter purchase!!!!! <3

I received this and looked at it thinking hmm this is gonna be similar to other cheaper Sherpa jackets I had owned and my mom agreed. Then I tried it on and was like wow!!! The thumb holes,hood and really everything about it definitely wasn’t like other Sherpa jackets. So comfortable and perfectly fitting I didn’t want to take it off. I told my mom and she rolled her eyes and then she tried it on and was like wow you were right!! This is the most comfortable Sherpa jacket ever😂. And it does seem expensive but definitely worth the price

I have bought this for 5 friends. Perfect for everything but especially the airplane
