This is the second monkey jacket I...well, me and my husband have purchased.  He got me one for Valentine's Day last year in the espresso color.  The jacket is fitted, warm, and washes easily.  I haven't had any trouble with the fabric matting down.  Even if it starts to do that, I wouldn't care.  The functionality is fantastic and that's what I care about.

My mom loved mine, so as a Christmas gift for this year, I went ahead and purchased one for her in the winter white.  And what a steal of a deal!  I got the jacket for about one hundred dollars cheaper than my husband purchased mine for. Shop early and save!

Anyway, again, I haven't had trouble at all with the jacket.  I am a fitness instructor and wear this to the gym all the time.  That means I wash it bi-weekly to keep the deodorant and sweat off of it.  Hold up great.  Ready for winter to get here so I can get it out of the closet.
