love this jacket!
Oct 12, 2022 | By karen
especially now, in Fall, when days are cooler, and one needs a little covering to go out during the day (or evening). great material, soft but strong, not too light, not too heavy. a lovely jacket for all occasions. one thing i especially like: it is long enough to cover my behind! most of my jackets are too short, to just below the waist. this particular jacket is the right length.

Beautiful color (ambrosia), great fit and a perfect light jacket for the winter climate of southern Arizona. I have one suggestion: for embroidered pockets like this one, please think about lining them. When I put my hands in the pockets, my fingernails catch on the reverse side of the embroidery.

Beauatiful in all ways

This long jacket is subtly pleasing in the juxtaposition of colors because the colors differ but their values (light/dark) are similar. The stitching details are imaginative. The versatility of turning the jacket inside out doubles the cost benefit. Having two layers makes it warmer which is nice in colder months (or in summer air conditioning!).
I was grateful for the advice to "buy small" as the jackets size large. I am 5'8.5" and thin. The smallest size is just right.
