Reversible Faux Shearling Maternity Jacket

This will be worn post pregnancy for me. The bump is cut in a way that it looks casually loose when not pregnant, and fits the bump comfortably throughout pregnancy. The black side is a tight fabric, so don't expect this to stretch. It's also not super cozy since the black fabric is more of a waterproof nylon than the fluffy side. That said, it's warm and looks comfy. I was between sizes and went with the small, which was slightly tight across my shoulders but made the length hit at a better spot that the medium (I'm 5'4"). That said, the arm length would have worked for me on either size. For someone quite tall, the length of the sleeves may be limiting. Regarding the other other view about it not really being reversible, it is very easy to remove the label, and it's black so you won't see where the stitching is removed around the label. Frankly, I think it's cuter with the cream side out anyway, so the fact that it's reversible isn't something I'll use much unless I'm caught in the rain. It's not waterproof, but the black side seems like it would be decently water repellant.

The reason I purchased this jacket was because it is reversible, thus making it a very versatile fall jacket (I’m not expecting, I just really like the style of this jacket). The zipper closure is a specific one that reverses to either side, sherpa is soft and comfortable. The fit is true to size albeit that around the hip it is somewhat narrow, which I don’t think is practical since this is a maternity jacket. I assumed it would provide ample space if you’re growing, especially because I don’t have particularly wide hips to begin with. The jacket feels a little on the cheap side compared to the price. The seams are not neatly done and loose threads are showing at some places like the zipper and where sherpa connects to the black lining. It has zipper pockets and a zippered chest pocket on the sherpa side. On the black lined side, it’s snap closure pockets and an open chest pocket. Now comes the part I think is a major design flaw…the label is showing when you wear it with the black side out! It’s fine on the sherpa side because then that’s where the label usually is placed if it wasn’t a reversible jacket. It’s very unsightly, it’s not even a nice label that’s meant to be seen. I’m debating whether I should return it or cut the label off, but risking that it’s still going to be visible that it’s cut off and can no longer return…overall, I don’t think it’s worth the price.
