Orvis Jacket Cotton Print Reversible (For Women)

A well-made, striking quilted jacket. Be aware that the fit is quite boxy - not at all fitted. I'm a bit tall (5'9", 140 lbs, size med.) and I think it makes me look wider than I am. Even a bit shape through the waist would help, but altering the reversible quilted fabric would take some skill. The jacket is very proportional in length, arms, etc. It is medium weight - a nice alternative to a sweater, soft, moves with you. I feel as if I'm wrapped in grandma's quilt. I'm still not sure how I feel about the fit, however.

Not athletic wear. Use for the office or any casual occasion. Runs large for its size. I need to size down from L to M, which is unusual for me. It's absolutely lovely in workmanship and colors.

The fabric is really pretty. I was a bit disappointed that the primary side (its a reversible jacket) was not the fabric shown in the online preview (it is the mock quilt pattern, rather than the overall Asian floral print). I really like the short Mandarin-style color and frog closures (buttons on the reverse). There aren't pockets, but I'll get use to that. It is a bit boxy through the body, but very comfortable and practical for cool days (60's). I'm 5-8", 140 pounds, athletic, and I ordered it in a medium. It will easily fit over one or two (light) under layers (like a shirt and light sweater).

This is a gorgeous find! I'm 5'2" and medium build -- it's challenging for me to find a jacket that doesn't look like it belongs to someone else because it's just too long or too much of something!!?!! This lovely cotton jacket (which is reversible and beautiful on both sides) is not too long on me (although I'd say if a taller person wore it, it would still be long enough for them) and the colors are so rich and eye-catching. You can turn back the cuffs (which shows the reverse pattern) if the sleeves are too long and it looks very cool. Unique, very ethnic-looking, and beautifully made. I've worn it with a cotton t-shirt underneath and jeans -- but you could dress it up with nicer slacks and a simple top. Orvis makes good stuff; if you like color and have an eye for lovely patterns, this would be a great addition to your wardrobe.

Have looked at this jacket for quite a while and finally decided to order. Very happy with the jacket. Nicely made. Versatile - wear with jeans or dress it up. Surprisingly warm. Sleeves are quite long but are easily cuffed back. Wonderful bargain!
