Utility Jacket

The jacket looks so very nice on the model and so very awful in person. It has no more body than a limp dishrag. The tan color is nice and I wish it looked like the picture. The limp, wrinkly fabric is just a mess and the ruching at the hemline is difficult to adjust. To top it off, it is very oversized and sloppy looking. It went back.

Got Navy which is nice deep Navy. It’s a functional jacket which can be worn to airport (great idea!) to hold items and yet be hands free. Other Reviewers are correct, the snap buttons are a bit noisy (I’ve never seen such a weird thing). But when wearing it around my home to check the fit (with normal level TV on), didn’t even hear it. Sound truly was muffled or undistinguishable. I’m thinking it’s not as noisy when wearing outside as the sound is when trying on & close up when wearing. I’m 5’3 and usually wear Med or Large in tops/jackets and purchased sizes Medium & Large (on sale). Medium better fit (dress size 12). I also have somewhat larger (not muscle tone) upper arms. Jacket fits great in arms & not long for me (jacket & sleeves hit perfectly as do matching pants which I also bought and hit at top of sneakers). So nice not to have to consider pants hemming/alterations! Fits well. Bought matching pants and got in size Large (I’m dress size Medium/Large). I also purchased the Tan color. Both are nice. Great functionality and modern yet casual take on pant suit. Would absolutely be great for travel, in Delta SkyClub, and on airplane. Hope works for you.

Stay with me here, I put liquid bandage inside of the snap that jingles and poof, no noise- it created a buffer to dampen the friction. Should you have to do that? No. But the jacket is sooo cute and lightweight I wanted to keep it. I do wish it were just a tad longer and less cropped but it is super cute
