First thing I noticed was how heavy weight the jacket is which is nice it packs some warmth. However, it runs very small if you are busty as I am you may want to go up 2 sizes. The bust area provides no leeway and has that true-to-style slim fit. This is one item where it helps to go in the shop and try it on first! Other than that the quality is very nice, the braided treatment is an added bonus.
