Mandarin Textured Stretch Organic Cotton Shirt Jacket

Positives: really lovely fabric and color (haze). Fabric is soft and a bit stretchy and has just enough weight to provide warmth without being heavy. Negatives: extremely boxy, runs REALLY large. I typically wear a medium in EF but the sleeves were way long and the torso was much too big. I tried it in a petite large but that was crazy big. It is pretty short (and I have short torso) so doubt this willl work for someone tall or with a long torso. I also do not love the large patch pockets - they're not overly useful and add to the body look.

I first tried this in ink at a dept store in 1X. It was too big, and there was no XL to compare. These days most of my jackets and shirts from EF are XL. So I ordered the sea salt in XL with confidence, during the spring event and using a gift card. The jacket is too big. I compared it to an older jacket in the cotton pucker in seaweed, also XL, same style, and it is about 5 inches wider. The sleeves are also wider and longer. I am very happy with the extra length in the sleeves, but have re-ordered in a L. This was my second attempt at using the gift card. I feel like I am constantly returning EF clothes....However, the fabric is great, softer than cotton pucker, and I love the sea salt, which works beautifully with all the grays, blues, and even rye.
