Default Coats

I am looking at buying a london fog wool coat. The one I am looking at has a pleat in the back. I am about 150 lbs.
Would this pleat make me look bigger in the back?

depends on how tall you are. I am tall and 150 would make me a bean pole, ohhh to be skinny again. I think the only way the pleat would bother you is if you have a very, very pronounced BUM. Since I cant see you, you have to take your best guess. But those coats are great and warm.

I'm tall and when i was 150 i looked fine. front or back. wish i was there again. seriously, i don't think the pleat would make you look fat at all. if in doubt, before you buy it go and try on some coats somewhere taht have a pleat similar.
good luck.

It will also depend on whether the pleat is inverted or not. Good luck.
