Ridiculous Sizing
By Margery Morgan
I ordered a large size which according to the size guide is supposed to be a UK size 16 to 18, expecting to be able to wear a winter jumper underneath the coat. No way. Even with just a t-shirt underneath the coat was way too tight and I would judge it to be more like a small size 14 than a 16-18. By contrast the sleeves were too long by about 2 inches and I don't have short arms. So not sure who this coat was sized to fit. Sent it back using Amazon's return service. I expected this to be free but it appears that postage of £7 plus VAT is being deducted from my refund adding insult to injury. I doubt that I will buy anymore clothes through Amazon.

Bench Alexis Coat
By Sue
Once I had got the sizing right - Bench sizing seems very small in comparison with other manufacturers - then I have found the jacket to be exactly what I wanted. Warm, comfortable and with a hood that has no fur round it! Has been put to the test in both cold and rain - although with our thus far mild winter not in extremely cold conditions!

By Lirly2607
After much deliberation on which size to order and reading reviews and knowing that Bench seem to think that anyone above size 10 size is big, I ordered a large. This did irk my pride somewhat as recently having lost 3 stone I had been enjoying buying size 12's!! The large just fits ok, a medium would have been way too small, but I daren't put any weight back on! However, moaning aside, I love this coat! I originally thought it might be a bit too warm but I did buy it in the 'summer'. Although it isnt that cold yet I have been wearing it and am sure it will serve me well this winter. I love the thumb holes in the sleeves. I find gloves cumbersome and only wear them when freezing so this will be a real bonus to my cold hands. The sleeves are rather long (I'm 5'2'') but because of the thumbhole style this doesn't matter so much. The hood is a good size and keeps your head completely dry in the rain. The rain sits in little droplets on the outside of the coat and you can give it a shake and wipe and its dry again straight away. No having to put a wet coat back on if you're going out again. The wide elasticated bottom also hugs you so you feel really cosy. Roll on winter now I say!!
