I bought this trench several months ago and recently wore it to Italy for a two-week romp from Florence to Bolzano and everywhere in-between. Until now, my classic black London Fog has served me at home and abroad, and has the added advantage of a zip-out liner. However, the Stellar Trench is a look...er, with its clean, flattering lines and length suited to every outfit. Unpredictable Italian spring weather had temperatures sinking, soaring, and the skies sprinkling or pouring. No problem, though: I was bringing this trench made of Italian Euroluxe fabric back to the land of its birth. Other reviewers remarked that the fabric isn't water resistant, but I beg to differ: the trench didn't bat an eyelash during a good rain, and I returned home comfortable and dry. The coat air dried afterward in the room, no worse for wear. Everything about the trench is matchless: The comfortable elasticized waist with a self-tie belt guarantees you'll look like the classy person you are in photos, and you'll never lose that belt. Zippered front pockets placed exactly where your hands will be protect your valuables. The vent at the back shoulders is both stylish and functional--cool temperatures in the morning and warm temps in the afternoon are handled with unequaled grace by this pretty coat. Sure, it's expensive. I didn't want to pay so much for my second trench. But I bought it in black, size S (I'm 5'5" and 125-128 lbs), and it has been one of the smartest purchases I've made in recent years. I also traveled with several other Athleta brand items, all of which were 100% wins. Thanks, Athleta, for bringing us attractive, functional clothing that's easy to fall in love with.
I don't want to be critical, but I don't understand the hype about this coat. As some reviewers mentioned here this coat has too much fabric and a thicker layer in front and a very thin layer on the back (inconsistent and not effective for it's purpose). The lapels are nice. The T size is great beca...use of the long sleeves which are hard to find for tall women. The color is like the pics (from model that is outdoors/outside), but I've seen so many more trench coat options from other brands that are undoubtedly nicer looking and of better quality fabric. This coat has a nice design cut, but it still has way too much excess fabric on the front that may be flattering if you're thin but meh if you're not. I'm tall, 5'8", 167 lbs for reference. I'm usually a M/M tall/size 8 in Athleta pants and 10 in BR (for comfort). The M-tall looked big on me. I'm thinking it's just the cut because M-T has worked for all other jackets, nicely. I like clothes to fit loose, but this was not flattering. Is my opinion skewed? Granted, the customer service experience with Athleta was awful (they cared very little that this reg. priced item was shipped w/o protection/arrived dirty and crumbled up and is hand wash only!) and offered no sincere apology or recourse to account for my wasted time and experience. But irrespective of any 15% or 20% discount, which I did not get, I would have still returned because it is not worth at $200+ price point. Maybe I would have felt differently if I had ordered the black one, but given the construction it looks flimsy for any weather and offers no real protection. It has no clasps, no buttons to close in front, only pockets w/zippers, and belt. Perhaps this works for CA weather, but not for NY during transitional seasons like Spring or Fall. It honestly doesn't seem to offer much protection from the elements and would need a sweater which would bulge on the back. It also doesn't look water proof for rain. I can see myself getting drenched in this.Returned.

This is a great trench coat! As a petite 5'0 woman, it can be really hard to find longer coats that come in petite. I got the XS (usually a S) so I did size down and it fits great! No need to do any tailoring

This trench has such detail similar to a trench but very unique at the same time. Very well made, slimming and hangs lovely over clothes. Highly recommend.

I absolutely love this trench! I'd been looking high and low for a stylish trench in petite. Please make in more classic colors so I can get another…or more! Best purchase and one of my favorite pieces of clothing!

I don't often find jackets that fit perfectly, but this jacket and the way it is cut is just so form flattering! The upper stitching is incredibly high-quality… I shopped around a lot before I could find this jacket. I didn't think that I would find this type of all weather trench coat at Athleta, but wow! I'm definitely happy with this purchase and will be keeping my eyes open for other unique items here…

I watched this jacket for months until it went on sale and it hasn't disappointed! The fabric has some heft to it, which helps it lay nicely. I love that the belt is attached so it doesn't become uneven. If you're between sizes, size down.
