J.G. Glover Londoner Jacket - Waxed Cotton (For Women)

One of the best designs for a casual jacket I've seen in a long time BUT I don't get the collar. I have a long neck and when the collar is done up the comfort level is zip. I look like E.T. Needless to say the collar will remain open when I wear it. I'm keeping it in spite of the neck-stretching collar - the rest of it is awesome.

We bought this jacket specifically for walking about in the seattle weather. The quality of the jacket is excellent, good detailing, lining and fit. It has an inside pocket! The jacket fits well around the hips, not tight or bulky. The only reason we didn't give this jacket 5 stars is because of the funny collar, which is better fit for a very slim neck. However, the collar lining is still warm. A great jacket I expect to keep around for quite a while.

I am very pleased with this jacket. My husband has a waxed cotton jacket from Barbour and this is similar in quality. I much prefer this style to any of the Barbour styles for women. It's great for cool, damp weather!

As everyone has noted, the neck on this jacket doesn't make sense. It is lined with a cheap sweater material that is too bulky. I brought mine to my dry cleaner and had that material removed, and I had it lined instead with a gray plaid flannel. Now it looks fabulous. I still can't button up the neck all the way, but it looks pretty down, unlike how it looked before.

I liked this coat--the fabric, the cut, the general look of it. But the high neck only works if the collar is never buckled close. One can either turn the collar down completely, or let it stand upright (which is quite warm); but the design of the neck is so tight and narrow that it is impossible to actually close it. I returned the jacket.
