Rip Curl Absolution Jacket - Women's

Rip curl or "rip off"?

By Ranked #602 - Women's Jackets May 9, 2009

If you're tall, slim and at least a DD, this is your jacket. It is cut very clim in the waist for a hip length jacket, and the waist rides quite high for my 5'6" spouse, for whom I bot the jkt. Another thing: the horizontal tartan stripes don't meet across the front of the jacket (see in picture, above). That might nor bother you, but to wifey (and me), it looks "cheap". Also, the outer material is "see thru" enough so you can see the dark brown lining through it, which makes the jkt look parchy and, weel, dirty. On the plus side, the jacket is warm, has lots of pockets, and on the right bod would probabaly look as it was intended to look by its designer. I bot a large, and a medium would have been better in the upper bod, too tight below the waist. When will designers learn that not all women are Gisele Bundchens?
