I bought this on a whim because it was in the sale. I love it. It fits perfectly and is light and warm. I love the colour. The fleece, collar, cuffs and pocket linings are a nice touch. Fantastic value.

A very good buy. It's very warm and bought just in time for the English weather :). It has lots of pockets for storage, especially the pocket on the inside. Overall a very good Parka.

Comments about Women's Essential Down Parka:
Bought for normal, casual winter wear about town and visiting family in country. Fitted beautifully, size M (UK12/14). VERY warm. Nice chocolatey brown colour, good length covers enough to stay toasty. Overall looks stylish, probably due to the cinching effect at the waist - lastly, the elastic toggles lend it a bit of a sporty look, which is nice. Great product LE.
Well done and thank you!

Comments about Women's Essential Down Parka:
Good fashionable parka for everyday wear. Nice bright colour, especially good for standing watching my grandsons morning football.
Bought the size 22/24 so that a jumper could be worn underneath, the parka could have been made a little larger, and is not really true to size.

Comments about Women's Essential Down Parka:
Did not fit well will choose again next winter
Comments about Women's Essential Down Parka:
Loved it but didn't fit on bust. A larger size would have been too large on other areas.

How To Measure
If possible, get a friend to help. To be sure of accurate readings, measure over the undergarments you’ll be wearing with your purchase, not over your outer clothing. If you need a tape measure, please e-mail us or call us, and we’ll whisk one off to you absolutely free!
Height
Stand in bare feet with your feet slightly apart and your back to a wall. Measure from the top of your head to the floor.
Bust
With arms relaxed at your sides, measure the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
If you need help, call!
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call us on 0845 0123 000.
Please Note
Use the size charts above to find your Lands' End (US) Size. If your measurements fall between two sizes, pick the next smaller size — unless you prefer a roomier fit.
