Diamond Down Parka from Lands’ End

Although the Holiday Season is my favorite time of year, I prefer to spend most of my time decking the halls, enjoying food and family time indoors, drinking hot coco in front of a fire, or any other festive indoor activity.  I’m not the biggest fan of colder weather, and prefer watching snow fall from indoors and not necessarily spending too much time out in it.  Well, that is until now thanks to my new Diamond Down Parka from Lands’ End.

One of the latest Land’s End women’s coats, the Diamond Down Parka is not only fabulously fashionable, it’s also totally functional and will keep you warm and cozy all winter long.  My last parka, which I’m sad to report was not a Lands’ End jacket, was fairly warm, but it also was very bulky and puffy.  The jacket was white and I swear I looked like the State Puffed Marshmellow Man when I wore it.  I was so thrilled with how compact and smooth the Diamond Down Parka from Lands’ End is.  The 600 fill power down is sure to keep you warm since it’s really nature’s best insulator.  The outer shell of the coat is smooth, not stiff like many other parkas.  It’s also made with Lands’ End DriOff™ finish which easily sheds snow and wet leaving you warm and dry.

This mid-thigh level coat is slightly shaped and I think it gives a feminine touch.  It also features a belt which can be worn or not depending on your preference.  The hood, which is also down filled, is adorned with a faux fur trim and easily snaps on and off, again depending on your preference.  The Lands’ End tempature rating on the Diamond Down Parka is warmest and when worn with a typical winter wardrobe this jacket will keep you “warmest: -30° to -5° Fahrenheit.”

The Diamond Down Parka is available in the following colors: Rich Red (shown in the picture above which is the color I received and LOVE), Black, Dark Mahogany, Ivory, Pink Begonia, Angel Blue, and Deep Amethyst.  The coat comes in Regular, Petite and Plus sizes.

So now, instead of dreading the winter weather, I’m actually looking forward to it.  I’ve had several cold days where I was thrilled to bundle up in this parka, and I can’t wait to show it off this season!  I even took the dog for several morning walks when we had below freezing temperatures and didn’t mind it at all.  Not only does it feel really warm, but it’s slightly shaped style I find flattering, particularly for a winter coat.  I also found that for me, the jacket was true to size.
