This is great for women who are tall, and or, have long arms!  I always have issues with jackets, and the arms being too short!  This jacket fits perfect! I am about 5'7 and ordered a small, and I love it. I think if I wore lots of heavy sweaters ect I would have went a size up, but I don't so I am happy with the size. great buy, and the charcoal color is beautiful!
