Labeled wrong- it's acually houndstooth By Jeanne from Glenside, PA on 09/07/2009 Describe Yourself: Classic Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: It is not floral but a houndstooth jacket. It has a belt described as leather but it seems like pleather & chintzy. Even if you switched the belt it just didn't feel comfortable
Not Floral, Not Shirt, Lovely Jacket By scaryblondechick from New York, NY on 06/21/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Stylish Best Uses: Going Out, Office, Travel Describe Yourself: Classic, High-end shopper, Practical Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Floral? Um ... no, it's houndstooth. Nor is it precisely a "shirt-jacket" - though I see why it's described that way, since with the belt buckled it wouldn't be easy to slip on and off as a jacket, but it's much heavier than a shirt ought to be. Wear it in situations where you won't be expected to take your jacket off.
Reading other reviews, I note size issues. I didn't find this too big at all - on the contrary, I normally wear an 8, and the 10 in this jacket fits wonderfully. But I have an athletic, broad-shouldered build, so that may have something to do with it. Other than shoulders, the body is roomy and cut more like jacket than shirt.
I agree that the included belt is dreadful, far more cheaply made than the jacket itself. I have an easy solution to this: wear one of your own. The loops will accommodate up to a 2" leather belt; I had one that goes perfectly on hand.
So: four stars for my purposes - but someone with a smaller build or who wants to toss it on and off won't find it so nice.
By Beth from Houston, TX on 06/03/2009 Cons: Irregular Size, Poor Material Describe Yourself: High-end shopper Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Belt is extremely cheap looking. Jacket is bulky.
I returned the jacket.
By 3dvizwiz from Boulder, CO on 04/07/2009 Describe Yourself: Classic, Comfort-oriented, High-end shopper, Practical, Stylish Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: First, why is a houndstooth pattern referred to as "floral"? In any event, this fit reasonably well, but a bit large in the body. Sleeves were a good length for a tall girl - I returned it because of the fit, and the synthetic belt, which made it quite cute, but I thought it would break prematurely.

It seemed a bit bulky so it was not flattering on me. I sent it back.
