Love it!

Bought this as a birthday gift for myself and just love it. I will own this jacket forever! It's timeless, it's the type of jacket that will never go out of style. Great for layering, a sweater or just a tee shirt. You can wear it straight or gathered at the waist. Very versatile. I'm usually a large but free people runs big on me so I bought a medium. I can still fit a sweater under it.

low quality, cheap, unflattering

This jacket is so poorly made. There are loose threads everywhere, including on every button. The stitching quality is terrible and I would expect it to fall apart very quickly. It’s also horribly unflattering. It made me look frumpy and shapeless. Unfortunately, this seems to be the norm for free people, now. Everything I’ve bought from them in the last two years has fallen apart within a few washings.

Flattering Not Boxy feminine version

I love how this jacket looks on, zipped up but looks awesome open. Still has that slimming flattering shape and this is the iconic staple I have been looking for ! It's hard to find things for me as I am shorter and have an athletic physique so things tend to go boxy on me really quick. And it extends past by bottom which is a personal style favorite. Great with leggings! It's a great color and a great fall transitional piece going into autumn!

cool and functional

This is a really awesome jacket. It has all the right details, fits nicely (order your normal size, it is naturally roomy). I ordered the camo version, and it is a great camo pattern. This is a very legitimate looking jacket, that COULD be your brothers, or purchased at an army supply store, except it fits. and that is the beauty.

Best jacket!

I'm 5'3'' about 115lbs and ordered an XS and it fits great. I would recommend ordering down a size because this jacket does run big. It's the perfect utility jacket!!

Great jacket

I love the style of this jacket. I worried it overwhelmed my petite 5'2 frame even in the xs but my friends assured me it looks great so I'll be keeping it. It definitely is a looser, more relaxed fit, but I'll be able to wear warm layers under it since it is so roomy. It seems very well made and I love all of the details and the adjustable inner drawstring waist. Anyway, great jacket, definitely order a size down.

Utility Jacket

Best quality utility jacket around. Size down, or else it's too sloppy looking. Has drawstring waist to adjust further. Moss color is a great deep hue. Camo is faded. So, it's personal preference. It is heavier than a lot of other brands, so might not be able to leave on indoors.
