I'm ordered this parka from All Blues Co, and I can't decide whether it's a good fit or not. Part of me thinks it's rather oversized but I'm not sure if that's how it's intended to fit. What do you guys think?

From the first picture, it's too big. You don't want that much space between your pants and the bottom part of the jacket exposed. You'll be freezing from the wind bouncing up from the ground.

Agree, parkas should look roomy. You can cinch the hem drawcords if it’s really cold out.

Personally I’m not a big fan of the contrasting drawcords/cinches and the button flap. It seems like it’d be a pain to button/unbutton so many of them, but on the other hand it looks busy to me just zipped and unbuttoned.

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
