Description of The North Face Boulevard Jacket - Women's:
The North Face Women's Boulevard Jacket warms you this fall and winter with PrimaLoft One insulation and a detachable fur-trimmed collar. Hand pockets keep your fingers toasty on chilly days. The North Face even included an internal media pocket so you can have your tunes readily available when you need a little distraction from the daily grind.
Bottom Line: Stay toasty all winter with The North Face Boulevard Jacket.
As noted by other reviewers this coat is lightweight and exceptionally warm, and true to size with plenty of space for a sweater. I've received many compliments on the coat so far. I like the fact that all of the pockets have zippers and the fuzzy detachable collar (which I thought I would ditch when the coat arrived) is now also one of my favorite features, as it helps to block out the blustery harsh winds. this was my first ever North Face purchase and I'm a new fan. The only thing I don't like is that fact that the coat looks lumpy if you put too much stuff in the pockets, but hey that's what a bag is for, right? I have a 75 minute Metro commute each way, and this coat (plus my mp3 player) have made it that much better! this coat is superb and well worth the money.
This coat was purchased for my daughter who finds it stylish yet casual and quite warm for the weight. Sizing information is quite accurate; she is 5'2" tall and weighs 110 lbs and the size S fits well with just sufficient room to wear a fairly chunky turtleneck sweater. There is, however, a question of quality that has detracted from the overall positive assessment: one of the front buttons has already come off, and one or two others seem loose (this is after less than a week of wear around town.)

Pretty cool if you can sew and aren't petite 02-04-09
This jacket is all the other reviewers note, including the poorly attached buttons. There is very little thread included, of the flimsy cotton kind. That sort of felt a tad uncool wrt the pricetag. The fit is not so good for me, it looks rather bulky, forget about using the pockets-bulky, that is. I am slender and petite and the jacket is cut in an hourglass way that ends in A-line. SO bottom line, the cut and quality dont justify this purchase to me. That being said, I love the taupe color, and the collar is pretty cool too, and it sad to send it back, especially since the groundhog predicted 6 more weeks of winter yesterday.
