Utility Jacket

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.

This is a nice jacket. It is roomy. I am usually either an XS or S, and got a S in this jacket. Good for layers underneath, but possibly size down if just wearing a thin tee underneath. The shoulder seams are dropped and the sleeves dolman-like. It is very comfortable and has a stylish look. The fabric contains linen and cotton and has a very nice soft feel and drape. Too, the tan color is actually very pretty in person. The bottom edge has a ruffled look if you draw the cord to fit closer. If you do draw it up, the cords will hang down from inside; so I secured them with safety pins where you can't see them. MAIN ISSUE: Be advised that the front placket, that houses the snaps and zipper, is not in the middle centerline of the body. I don't know if this was intentional or if it is a design flaw. If you look closely at the picture you can see that the placket is closer to one pocket than to the other. The overall look of the jacket is nice, but the off-center thing does kind of bother me.
