Reviewed by Illinois hiker from Illinois on Thursday, January 24, 2013This will be a useful, warm jacket for casual wear. I like the color (off white) but would have ordered a darker color if it had been available. The sleeves run a little long--I have long arms, and they are a bit long even on me.

Reviewed by Edythe from Conifer, Colorado on Saturday, January 05, 2013A classic fit, dress up or down with accessories and good looking quality fabric. After receiving mine, I bought one for my sister and one for my mother. Only regret....only one color available...would definitely buy in other colors too. I will watch for more quality products from this manufacturer on Sierra Trading Post.

Reviewed by almeison from nj on Tuesday, November 13, 2012Nice jacket for work. In and out of the car and at the mall, as it not too heavy so it is easy to wear. I like it, but not love it, will keep it anyway.

Reviewed by Gardener from Redmond, WA on Wednesday, January 18, 2012Lovely jacket, excellent quality, hangs just right. Certainly not made for very cold days, but not every day is THAT cold! I bought this in white and it has an upscale character that I enjoy. Good fit, just a little longer than most, nice addition to my wardrobe.

Reviewed by Ollie from Oakland, CA on Thursday, December 01, 2011When I put on this jacket (in black) I feel suddenly more stylish! I'm a casual dresser, and this is a low-key simple and very well designed jacket that goes around the neighborhood as well as out for a casual dinner in town. It's lightweight in feeling, though warm enough for most of Northern CA time, with warm clothing underneath. The pockets are at exactly the right place (I'm 5'9 1/2 inches), so that I can keep my hands warm there but also securely hold house and car keys.

Reviewed by Kiki B from Pittsburgh, PA on Tuesday, October 25, 2011I love this jacket but, unfortunately, have to send it back. It's black, and the weave(?) of the wool picks up every little speck of lint, hair, whatever. Too bad! But I can't be obsessively picking at my jacket--ruins the fun of wearing it. (Wish I hadn't paid the shipping cost to find this out.)

Reviewed by Not-So-Little Old Lady from Chicago, IL on Monday, October 10, 2011This jacket is boiled wool, therefore warmer than an ordinary sweater. It's a good substitute for a tailored jacket, less formal but not as casual as a sweater.

Reviewed by Canadian from Vancouver, BC, Canada on Tuesday, February 01, 2011I find this sweater pretty much perfect, a much nicer sweater than shown in the picture. I am 5'10" and 150 lbs, with broad shoulders, and ordered the medium because other Ivanhoe products in Large from STP fit a bit loose in the body. This M is a nice close fit through the body and sleeves yet the shoulders still fit pretty well. This might not work as well if I were bigger in the bust, but I'm not :-) Sleeve length is perfect. Pockets are at a nice height, not too high as is often the case for me. The "white" colour is actually a cream/off-white, a very nice shade as neutrals go (I'm not a beige girl! but I am a bit tired of black and look hideous in olive. I thought I might dye this if it was too dull, but the colour is quite pretty.) The fabric is a fine knit that is brushed/boiled and thus quite dense, but not bulky. Neck is high and stiff when zipped up, but not tight, and quite willing to lay flat if left unzipped. I honestly do not have any complaints, and have even ordered a second one (in black).
- Best Uses: Indoor wear, Layering
- Cons: Shoulders a bit narrow
- Pros: Close fitting, Long waisted, Nice thick fabric, Useful pockets
- Sizing: Feels true to size
- Sleeve Length: Feels true to length
