Fashionable and cool while giving you TNF quality

I purchased this jacket in the white/brown combo, and it is gorgeous! The white is very chic, and the brown plaid liner adds a bit of interesting pattern. The overall styling is oversized while still being fitted. I am 5'2" and 160lbs, and ordered the large, and it fits great - loose without being bulky. The arm length runs a little long. My old TNF snowboard jacket was a medium, and it fit great on top but was tight on the bottom, but this larger jacket has room for bulky sweaters underneath without making me look huge. The brown color matches my Bittersweet Brown Freedom pants perfectly. It's a very modern color combo.

Here are my gripes:

Even though the arms are a little long, they are ok. I'm having a difficult time with one of the cuffs...I'm tightening it so the sleeves don't go past my hands, but the cuff is rubbing on my wrist, so it's very annoying. It's too bad that TNF makes pants in short, but doesn't make petite jackets.

The inner liner does seem a little loud to wear by itself, but I paired it with a white scarf and brown pants, and that toned it down alot. It doesn't zip into the liner, it only snaps in the back and the sleeves. I would prefer if the liner zipped in so it won't bunch up underneath the jacket. Also, the liner is a taffeta, not a fleece like most other TNF liners. Seems warm, but it may not be warm enough.

The pit zips are really hard to zip and unzip. Also, the liner doesn't have pit zips, so if you have the liner on, the pit zips on the jacket would have minimal benefit. My old jacket had zips on both the shell and the liner.

You can use a different liner, but keep in mind that it won't zip into this jacket.

I will probably keep this jacket because its so gorgeous, unless that cuff drives me insane, in which case I will send this jacket back.
