I love this jacket! I was put off for a long time because it’s made in China, and also because it’s pricey. However, when I bought the swirl patterned skirt in the Spring colourway, which I love, I realised that this jacket would enable me to wear it and the giraffe print maxi which I recently bought preloved- now! True to size in my opinion. It looks great with both skirts and I love wearing it. My only complaint is that there is no concealed hood in the collar which would have made it perfect.

Medium was a great fit for me as a UK 12, and typically M or L in Kettlewell depending on the style. Enough room for a sweatshirt or jumper layered over a long sleeve t-shirt. Bluebell is the gorgeous colour. I reluctantly returned the jacket as it's a boxy fit which, combined with the horizontal lines made me look huge. This would have been far more flattering with some subtle shaping, a curved hem, and chevron stitching

I read the reviews and ordered two sizes - S and XS. I knew immediately the XS was too small, but the S, my normal size, fits nicely. It's snug/fitted, but I prefer that. I am mildly pear shaped and the XS was tight over the hips. If you are bigger busted or with big hips then I would consider sizing up. I can wear over a base layer and a jumper, so layers should not be an issue. There's plenty of room around the arms too. I am 5'1, 34-30-38. Very nice and cosy. I look forward to wearing this in casual situations when my smart wool coat seems OTT. Good quality as always - the pockets are zipped. They're not huge but work as handwarmer pockets or for keys. You couldn't get a phone in them. However, there are two inner open pockets (similar to a poacher's pocket design) and these are the perfect size to drop a phone in. If you zip the jacket up, it holds it close to the body so the phone doesn't swing around which I dislike. It's a very good place to keep something out of sight but accessible. I was pleased to see such a nice brown - a great colour for me, will look great with jeans and also any brown trousers or skirts

I ought my usual size in medium in Breton blue which is a fabulous colour for cool winters. The jacket fitted perfectly so it’s a keeper. Bit expensive so I only gave it 4 stars for value. I think I read some that someone thought the material was ‘noisy’, and rustled a lot- I don’t find that at all, it’s a very comfy wear

I love this, just the right length, comfortable pockets, warm enough for Autumn and Spring. The colour matches my cocoa ponte trousers to make an outer column of colour.
