I was a bit unsure about this jacket. The pitfalls of internet shopping is buying it sight unseen, and I've had my share of misses. But this was a hit!

I only got it yesterday so I can't say how it will stand to the elements other than the short walk I took with my dog last night. It may be more of a late spring/early fall jacket, it'll probably be a bit cold for winter conditions.

I'm 5'4", 112lbs, so the xs fits, but I wont' be able to wear a bulky sweater underneath. But that's okay, because I'm slowly switching my wardrobe to merino wool and you don't need to bulk up. The fit is figure-flattering, but find that it's cut rather generously in the chest. Which is okay, it kind of gives me the illusion of having a bigger bust! ;-)

The fleece inside is soft, but because it's black, it's already collected a bit of white fur from my cat. The wool content is 25%, though, if that makes a difference to anyone.

Overall, it's a really cute kick-about jacket around town.
