I'm not a chef.  I'm just a home cook that got tired of ruining prefectly good shirts with oily stains and splashes.  I used to wear a bib front apron but I still would get little splash stains where my apron didn't cover.

This jacket gives me complete coverage.  I'm a plus-sized woman so I bought the 3X to make sure it would be big enough to button (I usually wear 3X shirts and this fits a little loose).  I also bought the 3/4 sleeves (which fit me right at my wrists) because I'm only 5ft 3in tall and regular length sleeves would have been way too long.

I liked this so much that the day after it arrived, I bought another one (this time in merlot).  Highly recommended.

UPDATE:Yesterday my husband remarked how big this jacket was on me.  Well, I have been on a diet but I didn't think I'd lost that much weight so I took a closer look in the mirror.  After further inspection, I'm sure I could have easily fit into the 2X (and maybe even the 1X).  I still love the jacket and I don't think it looks that big on me but if fit matters to you and you usually wear a 3X in women's tops then you might want to order the 2X instead.  And if Amazon offers free returns, then you can't go wrong either way.
