Originally I ordered a large size jacket being that I am a size medium. I was going with the rule "always go one size up with jackets and coats". With these jackets, I would not use that rule at all. The jacket was WAY too big on me and I had i return this hack via UPS and get a refund minus the shipping cost.

Now that I have this medium size jacket, it fits almost how expected the jacket to fit. The chest area could be a little wider, but over all, I like it.

Now I live in Central Texas, it might get as cold as 30 degrees Fahrenheit, but normally not colder than that. It keeps me warm. It breaks the wind quite well too. It rained today, it held up pretty good and I stayed dry. However, I was only going from my house or store to my car.

Now I'm originally from the northeastern part of the U.S. it's colder there and we get snow. I would use this jacket as a spring or fall jacket in a colder climate.

It's great for a windy, cold and misty day.

This is the second such jacket I bought. The first jacket's left side pocket was left unfinished/unsewn . One's hand goes through the pocket because the bottom of the pocket was not sewn closed. Luckily, I can sew, so I went ahead and completed the work so I could have a pocket I could actually use. This is the only reason why I took off one star from the rating. The jacket is actually well made and the material is good. The fit is even better. I sized up because I like a loose jacket. I am a size 4 miss, but I ordered a medium. I like the jacket so much, I ordered a second one and the second one is perfect. The jacket is very comfortably warm.

Liked the fit very much. The lining was very nice, too.

The coat cost 50.00 & I paid 72.00 due to shipping! Not happy about that.
