Didriksons - Women's Nicolina Parka - Coat tested

Firstly the coat is lovely, it is super warm and will be great in bad weather. It’s incredibly warm and really good quality. Sizing wise I ended up ordering 2 sizes, I’m an 8 but usually go for a 10 in coats. The 10 was huge but the 8 looked lovely and could wear a jumper underneath so definitely go for your usual size.

My chest measurement is 87cm. According to the Didrikson website this was a 12. It also described the coat as a relaxed fit. Based on that I decided to order the size 10 as I am never a 12. It was way to big for me, I would need an 8, two sizes lower than the Didrikson guidelines.
The main zip was practically impossible to do up while I had it on. My husband also tried to zip it up while I had it on and he also had great difficulty.
I was very disappointed as this coat was the longer length I had been searching for.
