I need to get a new winter coat. My old one, that I've had for 11 years, now has a broken zipper. It was a Columbia size small, but it was a little snug and a tad short. I bought it back in college when having short shirts and coats was in style, but now that I'm older I want something that covers my hips. And I'd like something witha little more room, without being too baggy and unfeminine. I've never bought an LL Bean coat before, but if I were to buy another Columbia coat, I think I'd try medium. Does anyone know if LL Bean runs big/small/ just about right?
Everyone in my family has LL Bean coats. I grew up in Maine and my sister lives right down the street from the store In my opinion the are true to size maybe a tad bit big. The great thing about LL Bean is that they have a life time guarentee. 10 years from now if the zipper breaks you can return it. They will either fix it or let you pick out a new coat, no questions asked. They are nice about it and don't hassle you. An LL Bean coat is a great purchase
I found that they run really big. My winter coat stopped fitting 6 weeks before I was due so I bought one at LL Bean when I was in Maine at Christmas. Generally I was a size small or a 2/4 at most stores before pregnancy -- and at 8 months pregnant, I bought a size small LL Bean coat and it fit me with room to spare throughout the rest of my pregnancy.
