This is a wonderfully made, warm, stylish jacket. BUT I sent it back. Let me explain...

For the life of me I could not wear this thing over anything but a T-shirt. The sleeves are so snug, you look like a stuffed sausage if you wear a long-sleeve shirt underneath. The fit looks great--like a motorcycle jacket, but it really limits what you can do with it.

I suppose I could have tried a size larger, but the sleeves were already borderline long. I guess if you want to wear it like a fleece with a very thin shirt underneath, it is great. But as a jacket, I was confused. No way you could get it over a sweatshirt or sweater.

Then again, maybe I just spend too much time in the gym :)
