The jacket is beautiful and seems well-made. Its heavier than I expected and I wore it on a 35-degree night and didn't need an overcoat. I usually wear an XL and am between size 14 & 16 but the jacket was still snug even though I bought an XXL. I wore it open but if I wanted it closed, it would have been uncomfortably tight. (Plenty of room in the arms, though ) Still, it is a lovely jacket and I would recommend it as long as you size up.
