(based on quality + price paid)

Nordstrom Rack is a fashion retailer based in the United States which is owned by Nordstrom. Their e-commerce site is built on a shared platform with Hautelook, which is Nordstrom’s flash sale outlet. When visiting the Nordstrom Rack’s website, there is an option to navigate back and forth between Hautelook and Nordstrom Rack. Nordstrom Rack has a very robust e-commerce site that offers lots of brand names at discounted prices. Nordstrom Rack makes up about a fifth of Nordstrom’s overall sales!

Prices: $-$$$

The prices are a bit expensive, but very reasonable! One reason items at Nordstrom Rack are a bit more expensive is because the company is big on buying made in the USA whenever possible. They even has a section of “Made in the USA items” on their website.

Trying on: Michael Kors Leather Jacket

Quality: 9/10

It wasn’t the first time for me to get leather jackets from Nordstrom Rack. I’m glad to see so many choices in style, colors and sizes. Quality can vary by brand but for the most part buyers at Nordstrom Rack take great care to select well-made products to put on their racks.

Sizing:

True to size. My regular size is S. For moto jackets I have a hard time to find jackets that aren’t not baggy and with sleeves that are not too long. It seems almost all of the jackets that I tried on worked for me perfectly.

Shipping & Return:

I’ve ordered from Nordstrom Rack online many times. For free shipping you need to spend $89 (which is very easy to do with a very wide range of available items and SALES). For orders under $89- shipping is $7.95. They also have expedited shipping and even ship to Canada.
For returns, the store provides a return shipping label which costs $5.95 for the U.S. and $10.95 for Canada. This amount is automatically deducted from your refund. Or you can return for free at any nearest store as well.
