bancroft parka Mid-length, goose-down parka jacket

Got the jacket ins Vagabond, which goes well with my complexion. I'm usually an XS so the sizing lengthwise is just perfect. Love how windproof it is, best winter jacket I've purchased. The only issue I had with the jacket is how tight it is around your arm and armpit area. It doesn't give you enough room. You definitely can't layer up unless you go up a size. If you want something fitted, go with the regular size you normally wear. If you want to give yourself room, consider sizing up.

Overall, it's great. Gives you a flattering shape while keeping you warm. The price is worth it, you get what you pay for.

I enjoy this parka very much. So far it has kept me cozy. My only complaint comes from when I am driving the fur trim creates a decent blind spot. Also in case you were curious the real faux fur is not a typo. It's supposed to look and feel like real fur but it's vegan. It doesn't feel like real fur, but looks similar.

Love the Sky Captain blue, warm, comfortable and Iove the magnetic closure on the.pockets and front.

Great fit. I'm 5'1 115 pounds and the Small fits perfect. I can fit a chunky hoodie underneath if I need to. The dark blue option is darker than it appears in the first couple images- it's a dark navy in person.

I love my new coat the only negative thing is the hood.You can’t remove it and it’s really tight .Other than that it fit nice and it’s really warm for Montreal weather.

Love the style but wish the body would fit the sleeve. I’ma size 10/12 busty and have a booty. Wish the body mid section wasl looser with a string to squeeze to my side. The length of the arm is too long. Love the actual parka style and the warmth with wind resistance. Great for the value.

Size medium was too small. I am 15 years old, tall and skinny and require a size large.

I am 5'4, weight 130lbs, and am between a small and a medium at Aritzia. I ordered a Medium in this jacket because I am currently pregnant and was happy with the fit. The exterior material did not attract lint, seemed water resistant, it has a big roomy hood that can accommodate ponytails, the pockets are lined with warm fleece. Overall, this jacket seemed to be extremely well made with quality materials (love the magnetic closures). However, I had to return the jacket because it is HEAVY! I can just picture myself not wanting to reach for this jacket because of the weight. This was close but the hunt continues for the perfect parka.

Love the features on this jacket! Love the magnets and how super warm it is.

I got it cause my friend had one from like almost more ram 5 years ago.
She tried my new one on and got another one.

The fir and style is amazing.

Never felt so comfortable in a jacket AND never been this hot either.

Good for Canadian weather.

Only disappointing thing is if I had waited a month u could have gotten it $50 off and that was really needed. I should have waited.

I really wanted to love this jacket but the size was just awkward. The coat itself is fantastic and is definitely warm. I’m 5’9, slim with curvy build and the small fit but was too tight in the arms/shoulders and a little snug in the hips and the medium was better in the arms but then way too baggy. I gave up and ended up returning both and got the powder parka in a small which fit much better (still a little snug in arms/shoulders but much better). I also found the pockets hard to get anything in them with the slimmer fit.

Very warm well-made coat. Love the magnet closures on the pockets and on the flap covering the zipper. Large functional hood.

I normally wear a size S and got this in a size S, after trying a M which was just too big and sacklike on me. I feel very warm and cozy in this while being stylish. Love the blue-gray colour! The only issue I have is it's sometimes tight at the armpit in certain positions, but upsizing would be just too large.

The Texture of the coats is very good. It is warm too. I would recommend my friends to get it.

i love the updates on this seasons Bancroft. Very thick and warm without being overly bulky. The faux fur trim collar is super soft and the hood is huge!! perfect for those blistering winter days! I would definitely recommend. You may have to size up as this model fits a little slimmer, but again it does depend on whether you want to layer up with a lot of clothing underneath

I got a lot of compliments on my jacket. It is extremely warm! Best winter jacket I have had yet. Definitely need to size up because it’s a slim fit.

Love this fit
Form fitting

Great jacket, good fit, only issue is that it does not help keep upper legs warm

Very first parka since I usually like mid length but this one is everything has I need in a jacket! December 2020 weather in Winnipeg a little different so hopefully it gets colder, so I can test it out!

The jacket itself is nice and warm. I like that the faux fur is removable. The hood is huge. I purchased this in a size small. For reference I'm 5'1", 120 lbs and this jacket just fits. It's tight in the shoulders. If I had purchased it in a medium, it would have been too big everywhere else.

Lovely carmel color. Nice and cozy. Very happy with my purchase.

This jacket is truly wind and water proof- living on a great lake with high winds and snow drifts this jacket keeps me warm and stylish! The hood is big enough to cover you from wind and snow and stays up! I got size small and can fit a sweater easily into the coat. I'm 5'2 and about 135lbs.

Ended up returning this in color vagabond in favor of the powder parka in tawny. The color vagabond looks much closer to the model photos than the product images, it's definitely more of a greenish brown rather than a camel. The model photos were not there when I purchased it so I was expecting a warm camel color with no green tones. Also, the cargo pockets are only top loaders, no hidden side hand warmer pockets behind them, so your wrist has to bend awkwardly to use the pockets. Another problem for me is that I'm more of an hour glass shape, and the powder parka has a fit and flare shape, I think the Bancroft would be better for a straighter body type. It has some waist definition, but just not enough room in the hips for me. You can unzip the bottom though, which helps. The zipper gave me some trouble on this one too, so that sealed the deal and I chose the Powder. BUT, with all that being said, the Bancroft is a super cool looking and high quality coat, if none of the things I mentioned are issues for you personally! Both coats were equal in weight, warmth, and have a very plush hood fur trim that is removable- a must! Aritzia has so many amazing parka options, this one just wasn't for me!
