Mackenzie Trench Coat

I stalked this jacket online for ages until it came back in stock in my size in navy blue. It's beautifully fitted and looks quite flattering on. The only thing I struggle with is the pockets. They are quite small - I can fit my tiny 2016 iPhone SE OR my keys, but not both in the same pocket. The pocket openings are also at an odd angle for my hands, like the openings are narrow and turn sharply downward. It's not quite a dealbreaker as the rest of the coat is so lovely, but something to be aware of. I live in rainy Oregon and wore it all day in the steady rain at the zoo, and the waterproofing held up just fine. I can't wait to travel again, and I think this will be perfect as it's both stylish and functional, not bulky at all and will be compact in a suitcase. I appreciate the quick snaps in addition to the two way zipper, which come in handy when sitting/driving. I purchased my normal size, medium, and it is fitted, but just big enough that I can fit a thicker layer underneath on chilly days. My measurements are 38-29-41, 32DDD bust, short torso and long legs.

This coat is great to wear to work and looks professional for casual wear. I bought a tall, which mostly fits fine; however, it is a little tight in the shoulders--perhaps Eddie Bauer could make it looser in the shoulders for the next version. So far, however, I have not found a better looking tall. I also bought the lined version in a different color.

I just bought this coat, and it's love at first sight! It looks amazing, very sleek and stylish. Now I can't wait for a rainy day to wear it! The sleeves are a tad too long for me, but I can roll them up a bit without looking like I borrowed it from someone.
