Hi Everyone!
I will respond to all of the comments made on my last few posts this evening! My apologies for the delayed responses.
I’ve been eyeing the Double-Cloth Lady Day Coat in Retro Jade since it appeared on the J. Crew website. I LOVE this coat and the Retro Jade color. Here are a few IRL pictures of the coat:

What do you think of the J. Crew Double-Cloth Lady Day Coat in Retro Jade? Do tell!
Thanks for stopping by!
I love this colour Rynetta! I would love a coat in this colour!
WMM: I love this color too!!! It's really striking IRL.Thanks SO much for being here!
Beautiful coat! I have a couple of the lady coats from two years ago and they have held up very well. I live in a very cold climate so I got the thinsulate with mine and they are warm and stylish, which isn't easy to find. Love the Retro Jade color!
Luxette: Thanks SO much!!! This coat has thinsulate too, which is really nice. Oddly, I didn't see an option to order this coat without the thinsulate on the J. Crew website. I love the retro jade color too. It's gorgeous!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
GORGEOUS! You have impeccable taste!
Beach Chic Girl: Awwwww, thanks SO much!!! You're super sweet!Thanks SO much for being here!
obsessed!
Coco in Pink: It's a great coat/color!Thanks SO much for being here!
Love the color and style! I bought my first lady day coat last year, but sadly it's usually too warm to wear hear in San Diego 🙁
Carol B: Thanks SO much!!! I'm with you, the color/style is great!Thanks SO much for being here!
the color is gorgeous, so cute on you 🙂
Small Town Gal: Thanks SO much!!! I LOVE greens, and this retro jade color is no exception!Thanks SO much for being here!
What a bright fun color for fall and winter!
Lisa: I agree, it's a great bright color for fall/winter!!! I can't wait to wear this beauty!Thanks SO much for being here!
So pretty!!
cate: I agree!!! Thanks!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
Beautiful! Does the color look exactly like the retro jade pencil skirt?
Jeannette: I agree! The color does look like the retro jade pencil skirt. The coat color seems a bit lighter, but I think that's because of the difference in material. I hope that makes sense.Thanks SO much for being here!
Gorgeous color and I like the cuffs. Thanks for the review. I am always curious about the coats.
KnitYarns: I agree, the color is gorgeous, and the cuffs are really fun! You're very welcome!Thanks SO much for being here!
Gosh, that's a beautiful color. I love my camel coat and my black coat, but after buying that Majestic Purple Metro Coat last year, I found myself reaching for it most often. Nice buy, Rynetta!
Whitney: Thanks SO much!!! I agree, this is a really beautiful color! Thanks SO much for being here!
Hey, great coat and great shade. I have a lady day in a dark green from a few years ago and it reminds me a bit of that. I live in a climate that literally requires every single type of outerwear from super lightweight to downy puffers (once every two years or so we will be hit with a cold snap of 5-10 F and the puffers are so awesome for that kind of chill), so I REALLY appreciate your review. I have ordered the slim trench in the pink shade with my cardholder 25% off, I can't wait to get it and do a J. Crew review (finally, it's been a while!).
Hi dinagideon! I agree that this is a great coat/color. OOOOOO, the dark green lady day coat is gorgeous too. I can't wait to see your review of the slim trench!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
The coat looks lovely and what a gorgeous color. Did you take your usual coat size? I have a Lady Day from a few years ago and I had to size up, wondering if that is still the case.
xoxo: Thanks SO much! It's definitely a great coat/color. I did take my normal size 12. I considered sizing up; however, my VPS reminded me that sizing up on the top usually results in baggy shoulders for me. I think that my normal size fits well.Thanks SO much for being here!
The color is beautiful! I have a similar colored coat from Talbots from two years ago that I have barely worn, and I am going to definitely wear it more once the cooler weather starts. I like the catalog image with this coat and a gingham shirt. Anyhow, I have the Lady Day coat from a few years ago, and it is for sure a fall staple. 🙂
Hello ladiesI'm a french woman and I'm in love with this coat too. Would like to buy the lady day in pink but hesitates on the size. In France I'm wearing size 38/40 (between 6 and 8). Is JCrew sizing well, I mean are the coats big ? I bought last year a Banana Republic skirt size 6 in California. I have narrow shoulders.Woud you mind writing me the measures for a coat in size 6 and in size 8 ?Thanks !!!!Isabelle
I LOVE this coa – it's my favorite of all the J.Crew winter coat styles. Mine is red and if I had a bigger closet, I'd buy more. I love the Retro Jade – I purchased the J.Crew #2 pencil skirt and Cambridge cable in that color.
