J.G. Glover Sahara Jacket - Dry Wax Cotton (For Women)

This jacket is sized XL (18-20). I normally wear a 16 or 18, L or XL depending on cut. This is too narrow to zip. I will have to return it and am only debating whether to try a men's size from the same maker in a somewhat different model, which I'm not sure I like as well. This was a big disappointment, since the jacket itself is exactly what I wanted. You really should warn customers if a product runs very small (or large, for that matter.)

Very nice jacket, very high quality and well made. Great for Spring and Fall in the NW. Runs small, order up. I ordered the Large, as I usually wear size 12, and am 5'9'' with broad shoulders and long arms. It just fit, and was a bit snug across the shoulders and uncomfortably tight at the neck. Too small to wear a sweater underneath, and if washed/dried, I'd be out of luck. The sleeves are nice and long, though. Thankfully, an XL replacement was available.

great jacket for summer rain in high altitude

This is one of the best jackets to have for winter wear. It's one of those "buy it to last a lifetime" articles of clothing. When I saw it on sale, I should have known that the deal was too good to be true, and it was. It's not that these jackets were mislabeled two sizes too small. It's that the patterns were not cut correctly. The sleeves, for example, were so tight, that I could only bend my arms with difficulty -- and that was over a T-shirt. Meanwhile, the jacket had room to zip up. OH WELL! Someone somewhere will benefit!

would have liked side pockets as well
