J Crew Chateau Parka was a trendy winter coat last year and this year. Crafted of Stadium cloth wool with removable faux-fur trim on its hood and featuring gold snap cuff closures with locker-loop chains.
This coat makes an excellent Black Friday purchase or a holiday present idea! Although its price point may seem steep, plenty of promotions are going on this week, making the item affordable.
Size
The JCREW Chateau Parka is one of their best-selling winter coats made of stadium-cloth wool in various colors. Stylish yet cozy, its popularity has led to other versions, such as Factory Vail Parka, being produced.
This coat features an interchangeable, detachable hood slightly smaller than the Wintress Puffer; I wish for something fuller and longer-lengthed instead.
This coat costs $600 but could be well worth your while if you live in an inherently cold climate. Equipped with eco-friendly PrimaLoft fill and recycled poly shell material, its company claims that each jacket they make saves 15 plastic bottles from landfills and oceans!
Material
This coat features a wool-cashmere blend fabric crafted with smooth bemberg lining for a luxurious touch and a front vent and pockets for easy wearability. Available in various colors to fit a range of body types and featuring front vents and pockets for effortless wearability, this piece makes a beautiful addition to a casual sweater-and-jeans outfit.
The J Crew Chateau Parka is an annual best-seller handcrafted from cozy stadium-cloth wool made exclusively for them at Italy’s Nello Gori mill. Reimagined this season with removable faux-fur trim around its hood, it was recently sized down for women with slimmer builds – perfect! Other options exist, such as the Ludlow topcoat and Dock peacoat, available from this company for colder climate wear.
Design
The J Crew Chateau Parka is handcrafted from warm stadium-cloth wool sourced exclusively from Italy’s Nello Gori mill. Designed to take you seamlessly from workday to evening and beyond, its special details include a shearling-trimmed hood and an oversized pocket.
This season’s coats feature chic fabrics and functional design elements to elevate any look. Our best-selling lodge coat boasts an eye-catching line while the cozy sherpa puffer features pop color lining for added coziness and eco-friendly PrimaLoft filling – two must-haves this season!
This year, the brand is expanding its sustainability goals by using lightweight recycled poly shells and more eco-friendly PrimaLoft, made from recycled plastic waste through recycling technology, for their winter layers. According to them, every time one uses this material, it helps save 15 bottles from entering oceans or landfills.
Fit
This coat offers an ideal blend of swingy style and flattering proportions without being too roomy for my frame. Although reviews online suggest sizing down, I found its original fit perfect. Its fabric is luxuriously warm – I absolutely adore how it drapes!
One thing that would make this coat even better would be a fuller hood like on my Wintress puffer; however, its satin-lined hood makes this jacket great for women with natural hair!
This jacket is worth its cost, especially when purchased on sale! I suggest getting one while J. Crew Factory’s 50% off all Black Friday promo is still active! You will get plenty of wear out of it – select a neutral color to complement most things!
