I wanted a new coat this season, something neutral – preferably in a beige or camel and a different style than my J.Crew lady day coats. This one fit the bill exactly. (see review here on icon trench and icon trench in wool cashmere)

I’ve been eyeing this majesty peacoat and was bummed when the color sandstone was sold out so quickly (even at full price). Thanks to Jess, I was able to get this coat in my size, color and 30% off.

Likes: I love the sandstone color. It’s a great neutral color that is not too light or too dark.  It’s a classic color that I can wear year after year and wont get sick of.  The gold button accents are what makes the coat so cute.  It’s made out of Italian wool. The back belt with gold buttons is so adorable. Other details include:

It’s fully lined and very well made.  The high density wool is nice and thick but not bulky. The sleeves have no buttons or details so it will be easy to have it tailored if it’s too long for you.

Dislikes: I did notice one tiny snag which was a bit disappointing. I will just leave it alone because if you cut the snag, it could make it worse.  I did also notice that a couple of the gold buttons had some marks on them.  The sleeves are slightly too long but not bad enough where it would bother me.
Verdict: Keeping and would recommend.
Do you own the majesty peacoat? Which color do you like the best?
Happy Holidays everyone! πŸ™‚

  1. I love this coat on you. For the snag it may be possible for you to loop this back through. You’ll need a needle a thread.

    Step 1 – Thread the thread through the needle as usual but do not knot the thread end yet.

    Step 2 – Feed the needle and thread through the snag.

    Step 3 – Knot the 2 ends of the thread together to create a knot.

    Step 4 – Take the needle & knot end of the thread and pierce the needle through in to the back of the coat. You should be able to see the pointed end of the needed in the lining.

    Step 5 – Pull the thread & needle right through and your snag should dissapear.

    I hope this makes sense. I use this technique for snags in knitwear.

  3. Great review Annie! This coat looks really good on you and now I’d love one for myself. I really like the back belt detail. πŸ™‚

  4. I love the coat but I don’t own one! I own one from Forever21 which is in a light green! looking at all the J.Crew Peacoats you posted I want all of them because I love the colors and the gold buttons! πŸ™‚

  6. Are you supposed to cut the ‘X’ on the back vent? I’ve always been told to do that, but I see you didn’t. I love the coat, by the way. I wish it wasn’t so expensive!

I’ve been searching for the perfect camel peacoat and I think this one might be it, but it’s way too expensive for a college student like myself.

  10. I tried on this coat too! I didn’t buy it though because I already have a peacoat, but I was really sad that the color I liked wasn’t in petites. Oh well. Maybe next year.

  12. Hi! Was about to make the same purchase, but wanted to know; did you need to size up at all from your normal J.Crew size? I’m usually a 2…should I stick with that?

  13. love this coat but three buttons fell off and could only find one. very disappointing and customer service could not help me.

  14. Hi, do you mind telling me how tall are you and how much do you weigh in this picture. I just place an order online with the same jacket but i ordered size 4P and seeing that you got 00P make me nervous.

  15. Hi are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my own. Do you need any html coding knowledge to make your own blog?
    Any help would be really appreciated!
