Not What I Thought it Was   01-21-09   

This is not the $140 on sale for $80 wool jacket I wanted. And I sooo wanted one! This is more like a sweater weight coat- maybe even a light sweater. This is not like the thick ibex jackets that you can actually wear on a chilly shoulder season day. I would buy this jacket for a sale price of 40 bucks, but it's not worth the 80 I found it for on SAC, and definitely not the 140 BC.com is trying to sell it for. It has a raw seam on the hood which I didn't realize, which is cute but dresses it down. The fit is cool, and I like the length in back, but the zipper bulges out if I don't sit up straight. If you're willing to shell out the change for an off-brand but stylish quasi-wool jacket (it's woven wool threads glued to a thin poly interior that's not even fluffy; I wanted thick boiled wool), be my guest. This jacket was not what I thought I was paying for.
