I'd searched for about 5 years to find a high- or mid-hip-length ladies' jacket in brown that doesn't look too mannish.  When this one arrived, I swooned at how incredibly soft the fabric is, how smoothly the zipper operates, the functionality of the pockets, and the gorgeously under-stated styling.

What's so sad is that I didn't get to order an additional one in this color ("Cigar") in my size.  Amazon had implied there would be more in stock ("more on the way"), but so far that hasn't happened.  I'm almost afraid to wear and enjoy the one I did manage to buy--in case something happens to it.  But, who knows?  I might get hit by a bus or something, so maybe I should just enjoy my brown jacket at long last.  :)
