A long puffer coat with hood for women and faux fur collar, built for cold days
This is a thick, padded coat that covers you from your head to somewhere around mid-calf. The main photo shows it in chocolate brown, with a large hood trimmed in dark faux fur, long sleeves, and a waist you can pull in with a drawstring.
It closes with a zipper and a row of buttons, so you get a full-length front that opens all the way. The price is $159, and shipping to the US is free.
One thing to know before you order. The listing photos show two silhouettes. The longest one is the floor-to-calf maxi in brown. There are also shorter, mid-long quilted parkas with a big faux fur hood trim, a zip front, pockets, a sleeve patch and a slimmer cut. They look a little less polished than the maxi. Look at the photo for the color you are choosing so you know which shape you are getting.
Why it works for cold-weather days when you still want to look put together
Some winter coats keep you warm and look like sleeping bags. This one is padded and thick, but the shape is cleaner. The maxi in the main photo has a smooth, premium look, and the drawstring waist gives it a defined shape instead of a boxy one.
The hood and faux fur trim
The hood is large and trimmed with dark faux fur. A big hood is useful on windy walks to the train or across a parking lot, because it can cover your head and ears without needing a separate hat.
The fur trim frames your face and adds a bit of softness to a long, plain coat. We have not been given details on whether the trim can be taken off, so please do not assume it detaches.
The drawstring waist and long length
The drawstring lets you cinch the coat at the waist. Pulled in, it gives you a more fitted outline. Loosened, it hangs straighter and leaves more room for a sweater underneath.
The maxi length is what sets this coat apart from a standard hip-length puffer. Your legs and the tops of your boots get more cover from the cold. If you spend time standing at bus stops or walking outdoors, that extra length matters.
The maxi has both a zipper and buttons. The zipper does the quick work, and the buttons add a second layer of closure over it. The specs confirm the coat opens fully, which makes it easy to put on over bulky clothes.
Fabric and feel
The listing specs give us the following. The material is polyester, and the filling is cotton. The pattern is solid, the thickness is listed as standard, and the season is autumn and winter. The decoration is listed as criss-cross, and the specs also list the style as office lady.
We have not been given a fabric breakdown by percentage, and the listing does not say anything about a lining, stretch, or water resistance. So we will not claim any of those. From the photos, the coat looks thick and quilted, and the body appears padded rather than thin.
The listing also notes that the item contains no high-concerned chemicals.
Care instructions
We were not given care instructions for this coat, so check the care label inside when it arrives and follow it. As general guidance for padded polyester coats:
- Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Hang the coat to dry rather than putting it in a hot dryer.
- Brush or shake the faux fur trim gently to keep it from matting.
- Store it on a wide hanger, not a thin wire one, so the shoulders keep their shape.
- Keep it away from direct heat sources, because faux fur and padded fabric can be damaged by them.
Size guide
The coat comes in three sizes: S, M and L.
How to measure
The maker has not published a size chart for this coat, so use the chart on this page as your guide and compare it to a coat you already own and like. A few measurements help.
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, with the tape level across your back.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waist, which is the narrowest part of your torso. This matters here because of the drawstring.
- Shoulder width: Measure from one shoulder edge to the other across your back.
- Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder edge down your arm to your wrist, with your arm slightly bent.
- Height and length: Measure from the base of your neck to where you want the hem to land. On the maxi, the photos show it ending near the calf.
Measure over the kind of clothing you would normally wear under a winter coat, such as a sweater, not just a T-shirt.
Which size should I choose?
Because there is no published size chart, we cannot promise exact measurements. Here is how we would think about it.
If you plan to wear thick knits or layers underneath, think about the larger size. A padded coat does not stretch, and nothing in the listing mentions stretch. The drawstring waist helps you take in extra room, but it cannot add room where you need it.
If you mostly wear thin layers, your usual size is a reasonable starting point. The shorter parkas in the photos are described as slim fit, so if you choose one of those, be careful about sizing down.
If you are between sizes, the larger size is the safer choice for a coat like this. All sales are final, so it is worth taking a few minutes to measure before you order.
How to style it
The maxi in the main photo is shown with a quilted chain bag, and that pairing works well because the coat is plain and the bag adds some shine. A few other ideas:
- With tailored trousers and boots: The long coat covers most of your outfit, so what shows is a trouser hem and a boot. Keep those simple.
- With a knit dress: A sweater dress under a long coat is warm and easy. Pull the drawstring in to keep the shape.
- With jeans and a chunky sweater: For weekends, loosen the waist and let the coat hang.
- With a scarf: Because the hood has a fur trim, a thin scarf usually works better than a thick one.
Chocolate brown is easy to wear with cream, black, gray, and denim. If you choose black, gray, or khaki, the same rules apply: keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the coat and the fur trim stand out.
Where else you can wear it
A long puffer coat with hood for women and faux fur collar is useful in more places than just a winter walk. Here are some ways it fits into a week.
- Commuting: The length and hood suit waiting outdoors for a bus or train.
- Office days: The specs list the style as office lady, and the clean maxi shape in brown looks neat over work clothes.
- Errands and school pickups: A full-length zip front makes it quick to put on and take off.
- Travel: A thick coat is helpful in cold airports and on winter trips, and you can wear it on the plane instead of packing it.
- Casual evenings out: Over a dress or smart trousers, it covers you on the way from the car to the door.

Frequently asked questions
Is this coat really floor-length?
The brown version in the main photo is a floor-to-calf maxi. The listing also shows shorter, mid-long parkas. Look at the photo for your chosen color to see the length. If length matters most to you, tell us before ordering and we can help you check.
Does the faux fur trim come off?
The listing does not say. The photos show the trim attached to the hood, so please do not count on removing it.
How warm is it?
It is described as thick and padded, with cotton filling and a polyester shell, and the season is listed as autumn and winter. We do not have a temperature rating, so we cannot say how cold a day it is made for. For very cold weather, plan to wear warm layers underneath.
Does it have pockets?
The shorter parkas in the photos show pockets. The photos of the maxi do not show them clearly, so we cannot confirm pockets on that version.
Can I return it if the size is wrong?
No. All sales are final, and we do not accept returns or exchanges for fit or change of mind. Damaged, defective, or wrong items are replaced or refunded within 14 days of delivery. Please check the size chart and measure yourself before you order.
