I like this jacket because of its unique style (the sleeves). It fits well and can be worn for different occasions. Some reviewers felt the fabric was sub-par, but I thought it was fine. It does clearly state in the description that it is a cotton knit so you shouldn't expect a fabric with more body. That type of fabric would make the sleeves too stiff and puffy anyway. Because it's a knit, I'm hoping it packs well but haven't tested it yet.

What else can I say? It's made out of SWEATSHIRT material. Those flap pocket-things are placed so far forward on the jacket that they're on either side of your belly button. A truly horrible jacket.

Great Design. Material: NOTHING like is pictured! I ordered Raspberry. The picture shows a burnt Orange. Go by the color swatch shown(Deep Christmas Red).Heavy T-Shirt Material w/Velvet collar. The cut is too tight across back of arms, hard to move arms forward. I have a small waist and it fits too snug to be flattering, especially if you have "muffin tops". Order up a size, trust me. I ordered it for Dressy Occasions, but may just exchange it for larger size and wear with my jeans.

This jacket in graphite plaid couldn't get any better! I love the fit and how the waist narrows, creating an hour-glass figure. The sleeves are nice and long, and the jacket allows enough room to wear a button-down shirt with it, or a nice camisole. It's a very attractive jacket, suitable for almost any occasion.

After reading other reviews about chest being too big, I ordered a size smaller than I normally would. Big mistake. It runs pretty much true to size, just a little smaller. Material is kind of thin, but I love the versatality and style of the jacket. I'm exchanging it for my usual size.

Overall I like the jacket. But the bell sleeve seems impractical to me. I don't it at all.
The bottom of the sleeve is too big and heavy and gets in the way and I feel it overwhelms the overall look of the jacket. I will have the sleeves altered to a more traditional cuff.

Otherwise I like the look and fit of the jacket.

This coat will look great with jeans and riding boots for a more casual look or slacks or a skirt for work. The material is a bit thinner than it appears in the catalog so it does not look quite as crisp on, but it still looks good.

This jacket has a wonderfully tailored fit. It is femanine without being over-the-top so it can easily be worn in the professional setting. The blouson sleeves and velvety collar give it an unexpected and attractive quality. I'm excited about the weight of the item, as it is light enough to layer without being bulky or hot.
