I like this jacket, though it is much more, as another reviewer said, like a thinner hoody (without the hood). The sleeves and overrall length are good for my lanky 5'10" frame, and the ruching on the shoulders is a nice touch. The neck zips nice and high to keep chill out and looks good as a bigger lapel when zipped down around the collarbone.
I am happy with it.
I like the weight and style of this jacket. I use it for trail riding when it's not so warm, and then I can wear it into town over a dress or skirt and it looks great. The only thing I'd change would be to make the collar slightly shorter.
After some thought, I returned this item. It was just not really what it seemed in the description/photo. Its definitely more of a hoodie than an actual jacket. The material and construction was nice, but not as warm as I'd hoped. The peppercorn is more of a lightish brown than the rusty color shown. Nice product, but doesn't really match the description.
