Atten-hut! I don't know what you've been told, but this jacket is great for cold (-er weather). Military jackets were featured heavily in Marc Jacobs' S/S '15 collection, so get in on this trend now! These jackets are 97% Cotton, 3% Spandex- just the right amount of stretch. Hand wash cold, hang dry, no bleach. Imported.

I've never owned anything like this, but I decided to take a chance, and I'm glad I did. Though I would've rather it buttoned up (the little hooks are awkward when it's closed, which is why I dropped a star), as long as I keep the jacket open it looks great.
Very figure flattering, if not a little loose in the arms. I thought about sizing up just in case, and because of that looseness, I'm really glad I didn't. Make no mistake, you're getting what you pay for, but I still think it's a great find. Give it a shot, you won't be sorry.

I ordered the 2x because my bust measurement is just slightly larger than the measurement given for the 1X and I wanted to be sure I could wear things underneath this jacket. I probably could have fit the 1X pretty well, so if you have a 46-47 inch bust, I'd say go for the 1X, not the 2X.
That being said, the 2X is still pretty flattering, even though it's looser than I usually wear my clothes, so I decided to keep it. I LOVE the style and the color and I got a ton of compliments on it when I wore it out. The quality is about what you'd expect for a jacket of this price. My one complaint (besides the sizing) is that most of the button holes on the cuffs were not cut all the way through. I had to cut them myself with a razor. It wasn't a big deal, but it was annoying enough that I knocked this from four stars to three stars.
