Specialized fit

Ranked #2732 - Women's Down Jackets
October 27, 2009
Am 5'4" 150 lbs w/ broad shoulders and fit. I ordered a large and it is huge. Shoulders and arms are designed for a gorilla. Length is nice. Torso is large and boxy. I expected an athletic fit in this technical jacket and was dissapointed. I understand that the shoulders are large so you can raise your arms without the jacket riding up. But, the shoulders are enormous...overkill for the purpose. The bronze fabric is stunning though. Dark and light fibers are woven together to give the look and feel of real silk. It really is beautiful, like brushed bronze. Very unique and luxurious. I like the color and fabric so much that I am extremely sad about the fit. Probably best suited for someone who is top heavy or wanting a large, roomy jacket to go over other bulky layers. (sleeves are long too).
