No Lining?

This just a vinyl wind-breaker. If you like the feeling of plastic against your skin, then I guess this is the jacket for you. The sleeves are also about 5 inches too long. I am 5'4", measuring 36D-27-36 and I am swimming in the thing. It also comes down a little past the widest part of my hips. I thought that this jacket would provide some cozy warmth & have a semi-fitted look. Love the way it looks on the web-site but sad to report that I will not be able to tolerate the fabric on my skin. The most disappointing thing about this is that there isn't any sort of lining. This would most certainly wear the skin off your elbow's if you went for a walk in it.

Sorry your expectations of fit and finish were not met. With that said, there is no vinyl here! The Castlewood Jacket is made with a woven softshell fabric called 'Thornguard' which we use across our line in a few products. Here are the specs: 83D, 91% Nylon, 9% elastane. 140 x 164 thread count. A durable and tough, go anywhere stretch fabric for any adventure. 6.8 oz/sq.yd. Again, sorry your expectations were not met. Hope you find a better fit, for you, from a different jacket.
