The Furlong is ready for a night out, and if a snowstorm rolls into town you'll be all set.
Bottom Line: From snowstorm to store run, the Furlong is ready.
this is simply the cutest jacket, ever! i highly recommend it. sizing wise, i'm 5'4, 120 pounds and the size S fits perfectly. my waist is 26" and there is still plenty of room in the body of the jacket for layering. the sleeves are also roomy enough for a heavy weight thermal top. i also have broad swimmer's shoulders, but there's enough room in the size S. the best part is, the faux fur hood feels so nice and the cut of the jacket looks really slimming! and it's so well made. i can imagine wearing it on a night out in town and not looking out of place, like i'm wearing a "mountain jacket".
This is really a great jacket, and I have to say it is best of the best. The faux fur will make a fur turtle neck when you zip it up. It is light, easy to carry around. It also makes you look classy unlike other softshell jacket. You just need one good jacket, and it is the one.
I was so excited when I read this jacket runs small. I am 5 ft 90 lbs and ordered the XS. The fur-lined hood is too heavy when it is hanging down my back. The fit was not good on me - the upper back was too loose, and when I tried to layer it over a sweater, the arms were too tight! If this jacket fits you, it is awesome and very cute!
