I haven't checked this out in action, having just received it. Seems very good quality, and is quite nice looking. NOTE ON SIZING, because I was bewildered, too. I am a Woman's 14-16 (USA) on top and 12-14 (USA) trousers. Unless the jacket shrinks in the wash, the L is too large. Not by a lot, but enough that, if I were going to use it in an actual cooking/chef environment, I'd return it for a Medium. Since I need it as a costume for a play, I'll just shorten the sleeves (since the stylish piping on the cuffs is too nice to roll up). Hopefully this will help the next woman who's trying to suss out what size to buy. Better information in the product description would help us all, I think. Thus only four stars.
