I really wanted to like this jacket. It is gorgeous to look at and appears well made with a perfect length falling mid hip. However, there are a few negatives that I cant live with. I purchased my regular size 8 for my 58 and 140 pound frame. The shoulders barely fit once the jacket is on and the sleeves are way too long. I would have to alter the sleeves for sure although I could live with the fit otherwise with the front unbuttoned. The clincher is that this thing is a pet hair and lint magnet. The latter is a nonnegotiable issue. Im sure with patience and perseverance I will be able to find a navy blue blazer that fits my criteria. I really do hate returning this beautiful classic jacket but in the end I must be realistic about life with pets. Yes I would recommend the jacket if you don't have pets. Thank you Amazon for excellent service.
