Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
i would use this trench as a sunday go to meeting coat.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I ORDERED THE ROYAL BLUE ON THE SIZE I NORMALLY WEAR, BUT THE SHAPE AT THE BOTTOM IS MORE THAN AN A-LINE. IT FITS REALLY BIG AND ADDS TOO MUCH VOLUME TO THE HIPS. OTHER THAN THAT VERY CUTE!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The one I got was defective
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I live in the south so a lightweight trench that still keeps me warm and dry is just right. Truly a new favorite!I love the fit and feel!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I ordered this coat in a 10, as most of my clothes are that size. This particular jacket feels more like an 8. So it's pretty tight in the chest. I also have skinny arms (boo hoo, I know), so the arms don't fit quite right.
But the aubergine purple/red is pretty. The design is also nice.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The trench fit perfect and the color (Aubergine)is beautiful and rich looking.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
By the time I ordered this coat, the only color left was purple, which is my favorite color, so I thought I'd try it. It's really a cute coat but the baby-doll style is too youthful for business which is what I wanted it for so I sent it back. Seemed like a good quality rain coat though. It might have looked better in black - more professional.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:

Adorable raincoat-different color and stylish. Great value.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I like it very much thank you for everything
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This coat arrived rumpled and just looked like a mess. I had last ordered the "Midlength trench" just a few weeks earlier which came in a beautiful fabric unwrinkled, only too short. I was hoping this one would be in the same great fabric, but as you can see it didnt even come in a close second in quality. I would have to have this dry cleaned to wear, I would not want to have to iron this everytime I wear it.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I haven't worn it yet.. but I will - probably in the fall. It is too warm now.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I ordered this because it was on clearance. The color is beautiful. The material is all cotton and would have been difficult to keep unwrinkled.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This trench is sooooo CUTE! It is extremely versatile and I can't wait for cooler weather so I can rock this! It's definitely for the girly-girl.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love the coat's color (I purchased a winter coat from Chadwick's in the exact same color). The fit of the coat is a bit off for me. Perhaps it due to being 5'10" which puts my waist line at a different spot than what's indicated on the coat. However, I received compliments and enjoy it.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I use the product for all occasions, and the cost is reasonable. There's nothing bad about it. Thanks
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Very nice jacket. Feels good, looks good.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This coat is great. Nice color and can be worn dressed up or down. It flares out a bit too much, however, I will have it altered. I recommed this coat to anyone. It does wrinkle easily, but you will not be disappointed! Nice for the Price!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
There was not one thing I like about this coat [...]
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Bought this coat to transition between winter and summer. It's awesome!! I absolutely love it. It's feminine, trendy and fashionable.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Looks great with jeans or for a dresser look! Color is a deep, rich purple....beautiful
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Looked nice from the front but the back flap is definately a downer
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The jacket fits very true to size. Only downside is that its dry clean but I'm hoping to be able to use the clothes steam that was recently purchased to clean it so it doesn't have to go to the cleaners all of the time.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
it does not make you too young but right in style
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Runs big! I used the size chart and I swim in it...so nice I'll use it as a gift!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This is a coat I will wear to work. Great for spring.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Overall the coat has a beautiful color and fits great. I didn't realize their would be pleats on the back which, if you have a bottom, "enhances" your back side.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I just love this coat!!! I got this coat on sale so I wasn't expecting much, boy was I wrong. It's so stylish, also good quality for the price. I will definitely recommend Chadwick's to everyone I know. I'm so happy.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This coat is perfect for a light coverup, going out on the town or even leaving on all day with a slinky Cami top and trousers.
The material is a bit firm, but not stiff and loosens up beautifully. The colour is rich and, well, just plain luscious.
Great find - wish I could get a few more in the other colours. I'll keep looking for a restocking!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love the empire waistline. I was very pleasantly surprized to find the pleating in the back. Very unusual design. I am sure I will get many compliments on this coat.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Love Love Love this coat. It fits really well and I love the plum color. Nice coat for spring when you don't need a lot but need something.

I love to wear it with nice jeans and boots.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
. I ordered a size bigger (10). And it is a tab big on me.I'm 5,4. And small busted. Started to send it back .. Really liked the color (purple), Than I had an idea and tried it back on. Decided to see what it would look like if i pulled the belt to the back and tied it.. WA-LA..It gathered it up a tad in the front, and makes it look alot slimmer in the front now..Also, I don't mind the pleats in the back.. IT says dry clean only...has anyone taken a chance and washed theirs ??? I Like it and a good price, Material is soft...
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The coat was too big for me. It overwhelmed me. There is too much detail that really doesn't not complement the coat. It has Puffy sleaves at the shoulder and a Peter Pan collar falls into an A-line at the waist. I felt like this style was for a little girl not an Adult Woman. It also The two-piece belt is attached at both sides of the waist by one button for each side. It does not go around the back of the jacket. Very uncomfortable feeling. I returned the coat.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I really like the coat, its an easy fit and feels good when you wear it. The color was really purple not the wine color I expected but I'm liking it alot now.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love the color. It is a cute trench. I am looking forward to wearing it.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I tried on a co-workers Black coat and it fit fine so I purchased the purple and it did not fit the same so I sent it back.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The coat nice but it has to much bulkiness in the bottom half. It ballooned out way too much for me and made my lower half look very large. Too bad I did love the color.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Have received many, many compliments, particularly on the color (purple).
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
i don't care for the way it flares out at the bottom. it didn't seem to look like it had that much flare from the picture and was the reason why i purchased it. it's still a great coat, and i will wear it, but my quest for the perfect trench continues.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Love the coat! Perfect fit. My girlfriend at work tried it on and is ready to order one. Perfect for cool spring days.

Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Nice color!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I purchased this item for my work wardrobe. The item was very wrinkle, material was not quality and I was very disappointed. The price I paid for [...]I could have purchased another item.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The fabric and styling are wonderful. The fit is great, the colour is perfect. I am truly happy with the coat.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
CHADWICK'S IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE ONLINE PLACE TO SHOP...I LOVE THIS TRENCH, IT IS VERY FLATTERING AND SCREAMS CLASS! IT DOES HAVE ONE FLAW...IT WRINKLES BUT I LOVE IT.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
When I saw this coat on the website I thought it was cute, but when it arrived it was so much better than I ever dreamed it would be. I get compliments on it every time I wear no matter where it is. i.e. work or out with friends. This is definitely a coat I would buy in every color it comes in. The color is amazing.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Perfect fit. Bought it one size larger to accomodate layering. Already worn it several times and have been complemented every time.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
If you are an hourglass like me or a pear-shaped lady, this coat is for you! It's cut to flatter a woman's figure, which isn't always the case with traditional trench coats. Even the pocket placement--toward the front, rather than at the hip seams--is smartly thought-out. I'm mulling over buying a second one in another color. A bargain!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love a trench coat and I love a good price but when I tried on the coat I did not like the fit at all. The way the rear of the coat is tailored makes you appear even larger than you are.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Love this trendy trench and the color is so rich.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Product is being returned as it cannot be worn. The lining is so twisted, the coat cannot be put on and worn. [...].
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
First time I wore this coat I received many compliments!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I use this trench to wear over my dress clothes in the spring when the weather is too warm for a heavy winter coat but too cool for nothing at all. It's perfect for those rainy (or could be rainy) days! Soft, comfy, and warm.... LOVE IT!!!!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
great to be stylish and cute for work. Co workers want to know where i got it from. So we will be twins!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This is a cute coat, however, although I ordered my normal size, it fits too snug on me.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
AT FIRST I WAS UNSURE OF THE COLOR I SELECTED. BUT WHEN I GOT THE COAT IN THE MAIL,I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN HAPPIER! AND I REALLY LOVE THE PLEATS IN THE BACK OF THE COAT WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW WAS THERE WHICH MADE IT EVEN MORE ATTRACTIVE.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I like Chadwick clothing anything I don't like you all accept it back. This item like the fit.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Have gotten many compliments on the color and style of my trench coat. I'm absolutely, very pleased with its quality and look and I was not disappointed with this order.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Love this jacket - perfect for work without being overly stiff and formal. Great price too !
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Although this wasn't a true khaki color, it is a great neutral and will be great for those days when your typical raincoat isn't dressy enough. It was pretty wrinkled when I took it out of the bag, but hanging in the bathroom with the shower on a couple of times got most of the wrinkles out. A great deal either way!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Its not what I expected in a trench Jacket
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love the color and the fit of this jacket. I would buy again.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The description in the catalog said NOTHING about pleats across the back of the jacket. You never put pleats across a woman's backside. YUK!! I will be returning this item!!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This was a nice trench coat it's better looking in person than in the book. I bought three as gifts and one for my self. Every time my daughters friends see her in the coat they ask where she got it and they all want one.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This trench coat is just so stylish and smart looking. I have one in every color. I just purchased another one for my daughter. Every time I wear it, compliments are given to me.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This trench was not what I had expected. It was very unflattering with the pleats.

This is a perfect light weight coat.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Just what I was looking for and better quality than expected - especially for the [$] I paid!

THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY OCCASION
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Perfect for rainy days!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Great item for casual wear.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The length was odd...not at all like the picture. It really didn't fit properly...maybe because of the empire waist. At any rate, I would not recommend it.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Too far removed from a classic trench- this was not too evident in the photo in the catalog. The back had too many pleats.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I was looking for a coat that I could wear for any occasion other then a special and it was just what I wanted. It looks great with jeans, slacks and even a skirt. It is perfect!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love this trench coat. I was a little reluctant at first to order it because I didn't think the picture did it justice but once it arrived, my only regret was that I didn't order it in every color. The pleats in the back are so flattering. They give just a little kick, making it very lady like. I love that the belt begins on the sides, secured with a large button and although normally I am not a big fan of "puffed shoulders" these actually make the coat that much more charming. Love it.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
On-line and in the catalog it doesn't give enough detail about this item, I mean the jacket is very nice and sexy but when I received the item I turned it around and saw the back is bubbly which it doesn't show in the catalog the model is not modeling the back side of the jacket which she should I have a large behind so this jacket makes it look larger but I think is a very cute jacket they should give more detail to there items.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I like it but the coat is not very flattering to the figure (makes my butt look big) because of the flare of the coat. Other than that I like it and will be wearing it this Spring.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I LOVE THE COAT. IT IS STYLISH AND VERY, VERY CUTE. MY ONLY DISAPPOINTED IS THAT I DID NOT GET TWO OF THEM.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:

Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This trench offers just the right amount of coverage for transitional weather conditions without being bulky. I like the overall style and fit of the coat.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
jacket is lovely. [...]
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Very good
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Looks great lots of compliments
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I did not like the fit, I returned it. Was not flattering. To many pleats in the back made my butt bigger looking.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I was very excited to buy this at such a great price as I've had great luck with coats/jackets from Chadwick's. The front of the coat is very cute with the empire waist. However, on the back starting at the tailbone are pleats that add unnecessary volume and was rather unflattering on me. I am sure it would look cute on someone else but because I do not care for pleats I will return the coat.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This is the first time I order from Chadwicks. I love the coat. It is very flattering. I am a size 8 and ordered the size 8. Fits perfectly. Not sure how this coat would look on someone bigger though.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
for some resaon the cut below waist is too wide.. it makes me look short and fat.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Empire waist is a flattering variation on the traditional trench coat. Shorter length makes driving easier.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT MIGHT B LITTLE BUT, IT LOOKS GREAT ON ME. I JUST LOVE THIS COAT.
THANKS!

I haven't actually worn this yet. Looking forward to wearing it this coming spring. I really like the way it looks on. Very professional looking. Much better than the spring jackets I used to wear that were too athletic looking for work.

Wear to work...heavy enough to keep me warm and light enough to be casual and easy to wear. Goes well with the styles I wear to work.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love this trench coat. It is flattering and stylish and I got a good deal.

I just received this jacket and i love it. The fact that it can be worn with anything is great.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Great jacket !! I have this jacket in black, camel, and red. I love the black and red but I really don't like the camel color that much. Overall, it is a great jacket and I have received many compliments.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love the high waist and flair to the bottom. I didn't know it had gathers at the shoulders but I think I can have that altered. If not I can live with it. I don't like poofy shoulders.

I throw it on and run!

Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love this coat!! I ordered a black one and a brown one.I really like the pleats in the back, and the way the belt is held on by a big button on each side instead of going all the way around your back. When I wore it to work I got so many compliments on it. One of the the girls ask me where I bought it and how much it was but I just told her online because I could tell she liked it alot so I bought her one for christmas. She was so happy and she loves hers also. Just know that this is a light weight coat and not meant for really cold weather but for those who don't like bulky this is a perfect fit.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
As usual for this retailer, coats are sized way too small and you should order at least three sizes bigger.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I really loved the coat. It goes great with jeans but I would wear it with a dress also. It's very comfortable and fit perfectly.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
For the clearance price it was a good deal. I would not have been as satisfied if I would have paid more than I did.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Cute jacket if you're real skinny. The pleats in front/back makes you look fatter. I am about average weight. I didn't notice the pleats in the catalog picture and expected the same streamline look when I tried it on. Bought a size bigger (sweaters etc.) than what I normally wear, don't know how the pleats would look if the jacket actually fit me--worse? don't know.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I first purchased the black one... then the tan... then the red... and now the brown! I love it, use them for every outfit, summer its light weight, and winter with a sweater is perfect and not to warm!! I get great compliments on the coats every time I wear one!!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love this coat. I bought the Aubergine (purple) one first...It came, and despite the unexpected pleats, I loved it. the belted empire waist is trendy and stylish and the rich color was perfect for the season (rich, bold colors are in). I purchased the SLATE the following week. As mentioned in another review, the coat is more blue green then a gray slate, but I love the color and the coat, nonetheless. I can't complain. Veryr happy with my purchase. It exceeded my expectations
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I purchased this coat for rainy day use only.
I purchase it in a larger size so that it would fit comfortably over my suits when going to work.
I look nice, and fits well over my suites.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love this little trench coat it is so cute. I purchased one and loved it so much that I bought 2 more! Buy one get 1 free. The best feature is that it only has 3 buttons. It gives you the baby Doll effect,and the belt is removable. Great Buy!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Really cute and a great price.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I just love this trench coat. I receive so many compliments whenever I wear it. I was wearing it walking through a airport and was ask where I bought it from, also recently at a restaurant I was told "I really like your coat, may I ask where you got it from." Also, my co-workers have asked the same questions. I bought every color Chadwick has.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Love this jacket sooo much, I have it in 3 different colors..
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The catalog did not say it had pleats in the back. I would not have purchased since pleats in the back will make my hips look wider. Overall the price was right and I will wear garment.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Its not a bad trench however, it is wide in the bottom, makes your butt look big. Also I have to iron it, way too wrinkled out of the package
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Ilove my coat that I order one for my daughter and the same color. She was so excited when I showed her the coat. It is very unique,stylish ,comfortable but most of all different from others that I HAVE SEEN. love it!!!! GREAT JOB WITH THIS COAT!!!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
It's okay for the price...
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love this coat, especially with jeans. I have ordered it in 2 more colors.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This coat has a trendy style that looks good on someone tall who can take the flaired out bottom. It is very wrinkle prone, but has the look of cotton/linen so you can get away with it.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The coat is nice, if you are tiny in the back. I am not. I did not realize that "pleated yoke" meant it was pleated across the back. I don't like the way it looks on me when I turn to the side. I need a coat that is straight in the back. I got a really good deal and it's useless to send it back [...] I'm really disappointed. I wish the pictures had shown this part of the coat. I did purchase something from another site that showed the front and back of the item. That way, I made a better decision.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The product is as advertised, it is a quality light weight coat.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Good short coat for driving.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I got this trench on sale and it was a great deal. It is a thin coat, so it won't keep you too warm, but it is very stylish and fits well. Cute for most outfits, work or play. The fit is very flatterning.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I ordered an 8 (my true size)and I feel like I could have ordered a 4 and still had extra fabric around my mid-section! It's just not a tailored look - lots of fabric pulled together by one sash, which makes it look like a maternity coat. I also did not realize that the back was pleated, which makes my back side look twice the normal size. I recommend this for women who are small-framed without many curves. And order a size smaller!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I didn't like the fabric of the coat, it wrinkles easily and it looks kind of cheap. The extra pleats in the coat made me look bigger.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I first ordered the slate color only to find that I loved the style but the color was more blue/green than slate. So I then ordered the red and black and finally ended up just keeping the black. The red was a nice shade but just did not look good on me. I am really happy with the black one. I am 5 ft 3in so the length is a little long but the style with the back being pleated around the waist and then slight flare looks cute. Great for the SF kind of weather!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Although Chadwick's should have disclosed and shown the pleated back, as many folks do not care for pleats, I found them an unexpected but cute and pleasant surprise. I normally wouldn't wear anything pleated, as I am a BIG girl, and pleats make me look much, MUCH larger. However, the pleats in the back were actually flattering - even on a plus size figure like mine. I did NOT, however, care for the buttoned on 1/2 belt - I would have preferred a belt through belt loops - but all-in-all, this coat is FAB-BU-LOUS!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I bought the product because a trench is an essential wardrobe item. It's a great little jacket, cute, flirty and comfortable. It's not water resistant and it's not really warm, but it was such a great price, who cares.
Don't wear it below 50. Don't wear it when it's super rainy. Otherwise, it's really fantastic - a lightweight comfortable cotton jacket.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love the trench coat. It's very versatile and you can't beat the price.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love to wear this trendy trench with jeans and boots and a pretty scarf to match, looks very fashionable and I get lots of compliments.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I found the fit small and the style very bulky looking with the back pleats. I didn't like the higher waist.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love this coat. It looks good and was such a bargain!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The coat is ok but I wouldn't pay any more for a similar product. I am still debating if I will keep the coat or return it.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
A real surprise! Can't believe the quality is so good for the price.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I wear the coat to work and use it when it is not too cold.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Was pleased with the quality - I ordered a size 8 - usually wear a 4 or 6 and it fit perfectly so I would advise to go up a size when ordering. Got a great deal on it - well worth the cost.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I can wear the coat comfortably but not over bulky suits and sweaters as I had hoped. Still probably worth the price I paid.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I ordered this lovely empire waist coat. It has a great fit, looks stylist and can be worn for work or for a casual day out.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I was really impressed with my trench coat. I wore it to work and received comments all day as to how they liked my coat. Everyone wanted to know where I ordered it from. At first, I wanted to keep it a secret but I finally gave in. Just as long as they don't wear their coat the day I wear mines.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This is the perfect car coat. It is lightweight, and you don't feel like you're choking while driving. The colors are deep and rich. Drycleaning just improves it's color. It looks especially well over pants; however it will dress up anything. It just fits well, and looks well.

I love the color. I love the price. The pleats on the back of the coat are not flattering. Otherwise, it fits perfectly and feels roomy enough to wear with sweaters. I'm probably going to return it, though, based on the pleats in the rear. I don't know who thought those would be helpful.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I have received several good coments on this jacket. I truly love it and have wanted a jacket just like this for so long. The wait has been well worth it. It forms to the body and it very flattering. Very comfortable that i don't want to take it off.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
COAT ARRIVED VERY WRINKLED. HOPING WRINKLES WILL EASE OUT WITHOUT HAVING TO TAKE COAT TO DRY CLEANERS TO HAVE IRONED. IT IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED IN DESIGN (PHOTO DID NOT SHOW ALL DETAILS), BUT FOR THE PRICE, I'LL KEEP IT. DON'T KNOW HOW WATER RESISTANT IT IS AS IT IS TOO LIGHT TO WEAR IN WINTER. PURCHASED IT TO WEAR IN WARMER WEATHER OVER JEANS AND SUCH.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I purchased this coat for my mother. She received lots of comments about it. I later purchased it for one of her close friends, who likes it just as much.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The only thing I don't like about this trench coat is that it must be dry cleaned. I would buy another if it comes in dark green or burgundy.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This coat is great for cool or damp days. I love it so much, I even ordered one as a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I have gotten so many compliments on this jacket. The picture doesn't show but there are pleats throughout the back of the jacket that is very flattering and stylish.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Nice looking, I bought two in different colors for the great price. However, I haven't really had a chance to wear them because they are Dry Clean Only and I had to take them to the cleaners right away, then the weather turned too cold to wear them. I expect to wear them in the next day or two.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
You need to show what the back of the coats look like. I do not care for the pleats.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The coat is really stylish and flattering. However, when I raise my arms, the sleeves are a little short and it pulls in the shoulders. I still like it enough to keep it.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
this is a lightweight coat and it fits really nice. the coat is easy to drive in and it goes with all kinds of outfits
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I chose black color but my daughter does not like it much. It is frock style with pleats at back, not shown in picture. It makes it look baggy. It is very light but wrinkles very much. I had to iron it hard to remove creases. It comes to the knees if you are 5ft 4" Buttons & belt give it a modern girly look.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
It is a nice trench coat to wear to work and casually. It feels a little bit too big for the size but overall it is comfortable and trendy.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I needed a lightweight coat to wear in fall/spring and loved the styling of this one. It gets so many favorable comments when I wear it. Too bad it doesn't have a lining for wearing in colder weather.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This is such a great coat. I bought it in Aubergine last year. This year I purchased one in black. It is such a cute style and perfect when you don't want a really heavy coat.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I really liked this coat in the website and catalog but the bottom half makes me look like a tent! If you're slim, this is a great coat but when you've got hips like mine, it only accentuated the area.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Nice coat...flattering on me! I bought size 8 and I wear size eight in clothes. Fit was good. Shoulders just a little big on me, but not a problem. And the material seemed a little cheap.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
It is a nice color and fit
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I thought the quality would be better
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I really love this coat ! Would have preferred that it was more water resistant-- but all in all it's sassy and fun.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This coat is great for milder weather. Really didn't get much a chance to wear it before the snow came. However, my niece liked it so much, she's getting one for Christmas. Love the comfort and freedom of movement (especially in the car) of the empire waist.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I'm not a really shapely gal, so the way the bottom part flares out is great, as far as I'm concerned. It's adorable, and really stylish. Perfect for San Francisco weather.

It's great! This is the second one I've purchased. I'd buy it again.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I usually order a size 16.I ordered this jacket in a 14 and it fits very well!I do have a large bust at 40D and did not have a problem buttoning the front.There was no "stretching look" at the button area.It flatters you at the waist,which is a plus.It is light weight, so if you are looking for a "heavier" winter coat, this isn't ideal for that.But I love this jacket.5 STARS!!!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
So far I am enjoy wearing the coat.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I plan on returning it soon. The additional fabric in the back made me look huge! I was hoping the coat was as described in the catalog. Not flattering at all!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The product has many stylish qualities, not just your plain looking trenchcoat. It feels great and looks great. I ordered another color after I got this one and liked it so much.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I was pleased with the style and quality. The price wasn't bad either.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I got a 12 because I like coats bigger I'm a 10, but this was a very big 12, so I guess go too true size and it was way to long for me I'm 5-5..it was cute and loved the color just too big.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
fit great but not the look I had in mind. Surprisingly everyone else loves and give me compliments
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I really like the way this coat looks, but it is a bit wrinkley, needs steamed. I bought it to take on vacation, but I think it will not travel well.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This is a great addition to my wardrobe. It is so stylish. I love it.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
comfy
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Excellent jacket! Hard to find style and color. Love it!!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
If you have a small waist this trench coat would look great on you. It is not that warm because it NOT a winter coat,but it is perfect for fall or spring weather. I bought it in brown and it looks awesome!!! Only flaw is that it wrinkles too easily, and it is not water-resistant. Other than that NO complaints!!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I've been wanting a black trench in this shorter length for a year or more, so when I found this on clearance, I had to get it. I'm REALLY glad I did. This coat is great!! It fits great, looks great, and I think the pleating in the back gives it a really high end look. It does kind of flare out below the waist, but that doesn't bother me at all. I think it looks cute. I'm not exactly a thin person, but I'm not very curvy, so the flare gives me some shape.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I purchased this coat because I wanted a classic trench with a twist. I like the empire waist styling in many of my shirts/blouses, so I thought the styling of this coat would be the "twist" I was looking for. The coat fits very well and will work with my clothing for dressy occasions as well as for work.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Bought two. I started to return them when I tried on the blue one. The sleeves are too short and it's tight through the shoulders. However, the black one fits perfect. I wear it with a wide belt and skinny jeans. Looks great!
They're the same size just don't fit the same.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I was so excited to get this, but was disappointed. It looks too much like a big shirt vs. a jacket. I was not expecting the pleats in the back or the flap on just one shoulder. Made it look a bit weird. Also, there is too much material in the bottom half of the jacket, made it look too bulky.
Good price, great color though. Unfortunately, I will be returning it. I feel like if I kept it, I would always be looking for one that was better.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Didn't even try this on. When I took it out of the package I knew it was going back. The quality of this coat was not at all as I expected from Chadwicks.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The pleats in the back were very unflattering, otherwise this coat would have been perfect.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love the color and the fit of the "empire waist"! This was a great buy!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I sent it back. There were so many pleats in the back I felt like it had an extra 3 yards of fabric in back. Yuck! The coat was so cute in the picture and very cute from the front view. Back was awful.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Return product
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I didnt like the color it was a grey-green-blue mix
It didnt fit right
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Good, practical jacket for everyday wear.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I have not had the opportunity to wear the jacket as of yet but I can not wait until I can. I love the cinnamon color!!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I bought 3 of these jackets! (Black, red, and chocolate) I've already gotten so many compliments! It's very trendy! There are pleats in the back which the picture doesn't show, but should, because to me this is what makes the jacket so Amazingly Trendy! My only complaint is that it wrinkles very easily and the sleeves are shorter than I'm used to. But I do have longer arms, so keep that in mind when making a decision! Overall this is a fabulous jacket!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
It is a very flattering fit and the lining makes it a nice coat for fall weather.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I do not plan to use this product because it doesn't fit me right.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I will wear the product to work and the colors, fit, style, water resistance and light wear are great for travel.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The coat is very comfortable, and I love the cinnamon color. My only complaint is the width at the hip is a little too big. I think it makes you seem wider then you really are.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I really like the coat. It's comfortable and looks good on. It's a little more purple than I expected it to be, but that's an "in color" right now so it's fine.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I had to return it because the bottom part looks too bulky on me.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Nice casual coat and blouse. Wears with just about anything.

Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I maybe could have went a size smaller than I normally wear but even with the extra room it still looks great. Family and friends both loved it.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I wear this coat to work all the time when it's not too cold outside. The sleeves are a little puffy for me, but the length is perfect (I'm 5'4").
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The styling is very nice; collar and button details are great. the length is very versatile; great classic look for everyday.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I haven't worn this out yet so I don't know about blocking wind, or warmth - but it's cute and the material has a soft smooth feel. I'm 5'2", 160lbs - and the 12 fits nicely with room for a sweater. Everything is short on my arms - there's a button I'll move over a few inches - and the sleeve will be cuter - and fit better. It's knee length on me, unlike the picture - but then I'm short!
If I were to buy it again, I'd order a 10. BUT - Overall - I really do like the coat! Aubergine is great!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Was looking for a classic medium length coat for business and casual; this jacket is great! Didn't expect the pleats in the back but still very flattering and feminine coat. I bought two!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Good for fall or spring, light lining--good if you need an extra layer that is not bulky.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I should have listened to the other comments. This is very poor quality. The size was ok except the shoulders were very low, it's very bulky and I agree with another reviewer that unless you're very, very slender, this makes you look huge! Don't bother!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
my only complaint was that when i received this coat i had to send to the cleaners to have it pressed.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love the light weight, and the versatility of this coat. It'll take me straight through the fall season till the first snowfall! I bought one for my 21-year old daughter, too!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I will be returning this product because of the fit. It was not flattering at all. The pleating in the back balloons out and makes you look extra wide. I like the color and the overall feel of the coat, so I was disappointed that it didn't look quite right.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The perfect item for all wardrobes!!!!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
From the picture I could not see the pleating in the back from the waist down and it is very unflattering. I think the description should include this detail. The coat would look much better on someone a size 6 or less.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This coat bows out at the bottom so unless you are petite it will make you look larger than you actually are. There is too much extra fabric beyond the waist and it is not a flattering fit. It also it not quality fabric, is very thin, wrinkles easily. I would have returned it if it wasen't on sale and cost me more to send it back then to keep.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Very nice coat but came folded VERY,VERY,VERY rinckled. Coat is also very,very,very light weight.. Not what I expected. Feels more like a jacket than an outerwear coat. Arms not sized for an outerwear coat.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I use this now for the fall and will use it for the spring or cool summer night with pants or jeans only. The only thing that would have made it perfect was if it had a hood.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Perfect Fit. I received a lot of positive feedback.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Very cute, lightweight jacket for casual Fridays. I'm 5'4 and weigh 115 lbs. I ordered size 4P. This trench fits well. I wish it had 2 more buttons below the empire waist design so that there isn't a parachuting effect when it's windy. Garment wrinkles easy. Overall, not bad for the price.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Again I love the color, the fit and the length, it's a nice change from the traditional trench coat.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Its great, wore it right out of the bag. Got compliments the first wear.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love how it fits, looks very smart and dresses up a pair of nice jeans.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This is the worse quality I have ever seen for an outer garment. The fabric is something you would see in a very cheap, flimsy blouse. Trench coats normally have a fabric that holds up well to rain, this was anything but that.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Beautiful color, stylish, flattering,well-made, great fit
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I NOW HAVE THIS IN 4 COLORS BECAUSE IT IS SO WEARABLE. I GET TONS OF COMPLIMENTS!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
the coat is very cute and stylish but not warm or water resistant which is my only complaint
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Very comfortable trenchcoat. Get lots of compliments when I wear it.

Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
A great trendy trench to wear to work but different that all the other trench coats.

I wear this coat to work and out to a casual restaurants with friends. This coat is really versatile.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Anxious to see if it will keep me dry
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love it!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I ususally wear a 6P. Overall,it fits well except for the sleeve length which is too long, but I think I can live with it. Before wearing I dropped off at the cleaners for a pressing. Very stylish and a great fashion accessory for North Texas weather.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I ordered it in the Cinnamon and the color is great. It does wrinkle a little easier than I would like but the fit and the style are great.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This trench is what I have been searching for and fulfills all my needs; versatile and warm along with great styling.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love this coat! The only thing negative is that the SIZE is small. I am in the best shape of my life, yet I'm a 12?
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I will be sending this back. When I took it out of the package it was a wrinkled mess. The thickness of it is that of a casual button down oxford type shirt. Not the thick no wrinkle material you would expect of a jacket.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This jacket is GREAT, by far the best of the season's trenches (and I tried on many). The cut is modern and stylish, but still looks very professional and polished. This jacket is especially great with a suit or dress. It is pretty lightweight and not at all bulky -- a great jacket for fall. DO order a size up if you are busty -- I am a 34D and I could not have taken any smaller through the bust than the size 8 I ordered.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love this one very trendy and so cute!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This is the perfect jacket to wear with my little black cocktail dress.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This coat is perfect for southern Fall weather. It provides just the right coverage in the early mornings when a lightweight cover-up is needed, but eliminates the need to carry a heavy bulky item out of the office at the end of the work day.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
OK,not great
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Awesome style
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love the trench coat. Also love the color, cinnamon.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
It's super chic looking and classic. Best looking for the value.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I like the color, it runs small, so I had to get a size larger. Nice coat and I get a lot of compliments.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The coat seemed like a nice coat but it was too big everywhere. I am short so I thought this would be a good coat for me, but the sleeves were too long and the coat overall was bulky.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
THIS COAT IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! IT HAS ONE DOWN FALL AND THAT IT DOES WRINKLE, BUT DO WHAT I DID. WHEN IT ARRIVES IN THE MAIL TAKE IT TO YOUR LOCAL CLEANERS AND ASK THEM TO STEAM OR PRESS IT HARD (YOUR CHOICE)AND YOUR PROBLEM IS SOLVED. I GOT THE COAT IN CINNAMON, BECAUSE I LOVE RED COATS; I HAVE ABOUT 4 RED COATS. BUT THIS COAT SPECIFICALLY IS A CLASSIC STYLE, SO IT WON'T FADE AFTER THIS SEASON LOOK. THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY I BROUGHT THE COAT, BECAUSE I CAN WEAR IT OVER AND OVER EACH YEAR.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The coat is stylish. However, much more lightweight than I expected for the price. Can not wear if the weather is under 55 degrees.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I use this product to wear to the office. I love the chocolate color very professional.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
It's a comfortable coat and I love the deep chocolate color.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
When I tried the coat on I liked it from the front but from the back it was very bulky and not at all flattering. The pleats in back just made everything look bigger.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love this trench! I bought one last year in the Camel color and recevied several compliments on it. I love how if fits, I love the empire waist. I just bought another one and I can't wait to wear it! One thing to watch out for is the buttons, they come off easily. I recommend securing them before you wear.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I like everything about this product but the fit in the arms. XL people have big arms.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I got it as I live in the south and I wanted a light weight jacket that looks nice to wear into work until our weather cools down. I love it, it is very nice looking on too.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This coat runs small. Great for casual wear.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
My wife was very pleased!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
It made my hips look a lot wider
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The coat is cute but Chadwicks really needs to show a picture of the back of the garment when there is that much detail (the pleats) in the back. I don't think I will be able to stand the pleats not staying in place after repeatedly sliding in and out of the car seat so I am returning this.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This trench is very cute. I ordered it in Augbergine and the color is gorgeous and really in fashion right now. It did seem to run large and there are pleats in the back that aren't shown in the picture. Overall, I liked the trench enough to return it for a smaller size. The gathering on the shoulders/sleeves makes it really stand apart from the rest.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Absolutely love this trench. Adorable! After receiving it I ordered another in a different color. Very flattering on taller, more slender figures or slender petites. It adds or exaggerates feminine curves so any gal that is really curvey or voluptuous might appear wider because of the extra fabric and pleating on the bottom. Very soft and comfortable to wear.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I wear the coat out for a casual but dresser look

Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I am very unhappy about this trench jacket. i put it right back in the packaging for a return. seriously, if you are trendy and want something stylish, this is not for you because i am upset. it is a nice jacket but for probably much older people. if you are 25-30 and need something stylish, do not buy. the back has this flap that is not shown in the pictures so take my advice. also, if you are tall like me with long arms, this is not for you. I have to start a new search for a trench..gosh

Like to dress stylishly. But on occasion casual works best. Coat great for running errands, walking dog. Not dressy enough for work or evening out.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I love the coat it is great for every occasion
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Loved the look, but too small to fit anything else under it. Should of gotten a bigger size I guess. It seems like I have to send everything back because of the fit. We are not sticks.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The picture made the jacket look trendy. The reality was that it looked like one of my grandmaothers jackets.

This product is great, comes in an assortment of colors, and is classic yet stylish!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
My fault . . I ordered the wrong size but decided not to reorder a smaller size due to the sub-par quality and craftsmanship.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I bought this coat for my sister for her birthday. It is very cute on her. The only problem I had with it is that it is supposedly a coat, but this is more of a jacket. I live in Utah, and in the dead of winter there is no way this is going to keep her warm like a "coat" should.
It is cute though, and she is in love with it.....
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
It is a pretty full skirt so keep that in mind for whatever shape you might be. It isn't very heavy so I would not wear it for warmth unless you are wearing layers underneath the jacket.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The quality of the fabric was not good as I expected it. And the size is huge compared to other brands
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Very pleased with this trench coat. I received many compliments on it.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
great coat for wet weather which does not occur too often in west texas so feel very stylish
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This is a great addition to someone who needs a comfortable yet stylish coat for the cooler months. It fits great and I can't wait to wear it!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
This fits like it looks; the top is a little small, but not enough to send it back.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I was very disappointed. Poor quality, buttons loose, arms too short. Made in China. Returned to Chadwicks
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The style is very cute, love the empire waist. It runs true to size if you're only wearing a light layer under it, and I need it to go over career jackets and sweaters. The fabric feels too thin and lightweight to be water resistant but didn't test it. Will have to go back.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
The coat was beautiful, but I was disappointed that there was a small tear on the front. I returned the coat so that I could get one just like it. I don't think that the picture in the catalogue does the coat justice. There is so much more detail that is missed in the picture. I love the pleats in the back!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I was very disappointed that this coat was so bulky. All the pleats in it are not flattering and it felt like I was wearing a dress when I really just wanted a coat to go over everything, with everything! I plan to send it back as it was not what I had wanted at all, TOO MUCH MATERIAL!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Love this coat! Beautiful blue color and flattering fit. Very stylish!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I was disappointed in the jacket. I ordered my size, but found it to be too large. Also did not like the back pleating of the "skirt" of the jacket. it looked like I was hiding a huge rear end under there, which I do not have.
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
I wore this coat yesterday and it was perfect on an early autumn night! I plan to get good use out of it this fall. I loved the look of the coat in the magazine, and I love the feel of the coat when I wear it. It fits nicely and looks nice too! I got lots of compliments on it last night. I would recommend this coat to anyone!
Comments about Chadwicks Empire-Waist Short Trench:
Arrived very wrinkled. Would have to take to a professional to have pressed.

Love, love this trench, definitely needs ironing. The brown was not a warm brown, like it appeared to be, I might return it for another color, but the fit is gorgeous and so flattering. Wish it had a hood.
