Sherpa-lined shirt-jacket

Purchased as a gift for my mom and she loves it! The Sherpa lining adds extra warmth and on trend with the “shacket” style this winter.

I was pleasantly surprised upon opening this! I don’t mind the unlined sleeves, because that would be way too bulky. It’s warm and fits as I would expect for a S, not too baggy, not too tight. For the price, I think it’s a cute piece with leggings and boots! But it immediately shrunk after the first wash- arms are immediately too short and the woven exterior on the back shrunk so now it is too short for the inner Sherpa layer, exposing the sherpa. Not a big deal, but definitely notable. Also- this piece is just dying to be a snap closure not button closure. That would make this a great piece, but is fine as is.

I love this piece! The Sherpa lining isn’t too thick and doesn’t feel cheap. Most Sherpa feels terrible after washing but this has stayed soft. At first I didn’t like that the sleeves weren’t Sherpa lined, but now I actually appreciate it because the Sherpa would make it extremely difficult to take on and off and would catch on your sleeves. They used a basic sort of satin-like material. I wouldn’t consider this a jacket but more of just a heavy shirt or cover. It’s very gender neutral and doesn’t fit only a feminine shape. My teenager son actually really wants one as well. I love it and don’t regret it at all!

I was so excited when I saw this and had some high expectations. When I got it, I was first disappointed that the soft inside liner wasn't that thick considering this is a jacket. I was also disappointed that the soft liner wasn’t used inside the sleeves. In fact, the sleeves are lined in a really cheap feeling black polyester which felt quite warm the moment I put it on. I also thought it ran large. I ordered my usual small but the length is long and it swallowed me up. The collar on the one side was also stitched weird- a fluke I think- but it doesn’t lay flat, it pokes up. Overall, it’s not the warm adorable coat I was hoping for. Still deciding if I’ll exchange for an XS but I’m leaning towards just returning. It has potential to be really cute, but maybe it’s just me it’s not working for.
