I was dissapointed with this item because the fit around the bust and stomach were tight and not flattering. I also did not like the material. It seemed just like a cotten coat, and thats not good for spring weather. I didnt wear it in the rain but it didnt look like it would fare well. For the price I was paying I knew I could do better for my money.

I am disappointed in the fabric - it doesn't have much body, I wouldn't risk machine washing and I'm concerned that it will lose shape with not much time - so it is not the value I was expecting. The detailing is nice and if a blend fabric with some body and ability to shed water had been used it would be great - a shame since it is the same amount of work to make it from a poor fabric as from a good one and little difference in cost. I am keeping it anyway because there are very few options for those of us who wear plus sizes, particularly in classic styles.

A nice value considering the price. I was looking for something to throw over jeans and a t shirt to go to the local stores that was a step above a sweater, so I wasn't expecting much. It was slightly better than expected, and the price was very inexpensive for the value, comfort, and generous sizing

I got the green and waited for it to be in stock. Love the color. It's a great spring/fall lightweight jacket but I thought I was ordering a rain jacket. This has no finish on it nor is the fabric of the type usually found in "trench" coats. But I kept it. With coupons etc. promotions the price couldn't be beaten and it's a nice jacket.

I ordered the coat for a lightweight topper on cool and damp/rainy days. It was on backorder for weeks, but I really wanted the coat, especially the green one. I liked the color a lot. I ordered the size I usually order from Chadwicks. Unfortunately, this was really too snug, especially through the bust, where it gapped open, and the shoulders.The belt has a lightweight plastic buckle and I felt it wouldn't hold up. So, I was so disappointed, I returned the jacket to Chadwick's on Monday.

I orignally ordered this jacket in sailor blue, but they were currently out of stock. I always love a short trench becasue of their versatility, so I decided to be bold and go with the geometric print.
Wow, did I ever get asked, "Where did you get that?" by so mnay people! People just love it, as do I, and can't beleive I ordered this from a catalog! I have worn it with a bright blue blouse underneath, or black, or khaki and am able to either dress it up, or throw it on over soemthing and still look good.
This is now my favorite jacket!

This is a cute jacket, but like most things I have purchased from Chadwick's over the years, I found that it runs a little on the small side. Now, I usually will order a size up to compensate for this and the inevitable shrinkage (another thing I have often found with Chadwick's), but unfortunately this jacket was on sale and this was the only size left in the color I wanted so, oh well. It still fits fine and looks good on and for the price I paid, it is an overall good deal!
