Lafayette 148 New York Riche Wrap Jacket - Wool Boucle (For Women)

I get so many compliments whenever I wear this jacket - people love it. It is comfortable and does look sharp - flattering.

A very versatile piece: I tried it with dress, dressy pants, jeans and it still looks good. I kept in mind the STP's suggestion and order one size down (size 8) and it fits perfect. The special features that I like are the sleeves and the leather belt that I can tie up in different ways. The only thing that I wish this jacket had is more "tweedy" look: the white color is a little overpowering. Overall, it is a great piece that worth to invest the money.

I love the design and fabric of this jacket, except for the sleeves, which are open and wide at the wrist/hand part with no button to close. It just didn't look good for me. The jacket was also too long for me (I'm petite at 5'1") and hit just below the hip. It'd work well on someone taller. Great quality.

Absolutely beautiful jacket and flattering on.

It was too heavy for me to wear inside or even to church-and that's why I purchased it. I returned it. But, I wanted to buy it for over a year and you had a wonderful price on it. I was disappointed not to own it.

Since this is a fall/winter/spring top, I have not had the opportunity to actually wear it but an looking forward to it. Will go well with pants or skirts. Since I'm petite, I have just turned the sleeve cuffs up and will tack in place rather than have them shortened - if shortening is possible with a weave. Shortening would lose the fringy effect. I'm a 36DDD in the chest area and the 14 fit great - the belted waist curved in as it should. Love it.

Found it true to size in size 4. Returned this beautifully made jacket (loved the subtle ruffle trim) because it was unusually bulky and hot - more than a regular suit jacket, but not really an over-jacket either. Sleeves a bit long and probably meant to have cuffs turned up, but again the bulkiness gets in the way. Good for someone who is cold all the time, and wants more bulk on the top.

This jacket goes well with another item I bought here - a taupe wool gauze skirt. It looks very high style and elegant that way, but would also dress up a pair of wool slacks or suede pants. The tweedy fabric makes it versitle. The product description is correct to advise ordering one size smaller. The size 6 fits almost perfectly as an 8. The only problem may be for someone with athletic or full arms (which I do not have), as the sleeves are a little snug on me.
