Smart and stylish

"Just received this and tried it on. Still wearing my pyjamas but it looks great. Fit is true to size as per the Free People size chart, I bought the XS and I have 33.5" bust and 35" hip, it fits just like on the model. I am 5' 11" and the length is great on me, like the model again. I find a lot of blazers a bit short and a bit too shaped in the waist for my long straight shape. Sleeves are full length (somebody said they weren't) and you could wear them folded up although they are probably too loose to be able to just push them up. The fabric is lovely and soft and springy and supple and the grey has nice subtle shade variations. The button is big but I thought it looked nice when done up. There is a spare button too...and if you didn't like the button, it's only a single button and could easily be replaced. I can see me getting a lot of wear out of this as I like to wear comfy clothes all the time and this will help me to be smart and stylish as well."

Not Ichy and Not Scratchy
1.26.2013-
"I am 5'6", 135 36B... Tried on a size M in the brown/black [lovely, rich colour] and didn't think it really flattered me. I was wearing my [favourite] Black Double Knit Dropwaist Dress with tights and [fantastic] Marlo Zip Buckle Boots. So I tried on size S, not really expecting much. It was a perfect fit; even made me look like I have more of a booty than I actually have thanks to the little slit that flared out a little at the back. I really didn't want to take it off since it "made" the outfit I was wearing. All confirmed by the great sales associate. The best thing about this "jacket" is that it is made of super soft merino wool. I am highly sensitive to wool but this does not itch in the slightest. Yeah FP! Thanks for another great addition to my growing FP collection of timeless pieces."

Lovely

"This is a great jacket. I love the cut + length, very slimming. The color is more of a brown. I ordered the large and the sleeves were a bit loose, The medium was out of stock but I still love it. I would say this is a hybrid between a blazer and a coat. The one thing I noticed was the huge button that doesn't show in pics. I didn't hate it but I wasn't expecting it! Love it."

"LOVE LOVE LOVE. Oversized and wonderful. Roomy enough to wear over anything. Super soft as well. Have the chocolate, will order the gray next. Wish it came in black. I purchased a large (I wear M or L in FP). Could have sized down, but I love the roomy-ness. Zero itchy scratchy! BONUS."

perfect length, color!

"I am so glad I read other reviews and ordered a S when I would have normally ordered a M. The jacket fits perfectly across the shoulders and lengthwise. The only problem is that with a S, I cannot button the jacket without it pulling across the waist a bit. But for me this is OK as I tend not to button anyway. This color is absolutely brown and absolutely wonderful! It now rivals a couple of highly styled sweater-cardigans as my favorite cover-up for work. It's great over my skinny pants, jeans, clingy dresses, etc., styles that I love to wear but must cover up just a bit to remain professional looking ;)"

"Bought this in the heather grey. I wanted a lightweight cardi/jacket/blazer that would be versatile and will keep me warm. I agree with the other reviewers...this jacket runs large. I would buy 1 or 2 sizes down. I was prepared to buy a Small online, but when I went to the store to try it on, it was just way too big. The XS was the best fit."

I'm in love!

"I love this jacket! Based on the reviews I ordered the xs rather than small, and am glad I did. It fits perfect with a little extra room. The back is tailored nicely, and the fit is very flattering. Im 5'9" and 130lbs. The only thing I didn't realize was that this jacket has cropped sleeves, but that's just a note so you don't order it expecting full length sleeves (I thought the sleeves were just pushed up on the model)."

"So i tried this on in the store the other day, and the jacket was super comfy just huge on me. if you are petite like me ( 5'1. 95-100lbs, small chest 32 a) it might not look as nice as it does on the model. the sleeves were super long , & shoulders are a boxy. overall i think it's a great jacket just i need some size on me =("

"This is an awesome sweater! I breezed right over this online but when I saw the grey color in the store I absolutely loved it. I would definitely suggest sizing down because it runs pretty large; I sized down to an xs and it fits me perfectly. I usually have issues with wool being too itchy but this is actually pretty soft."

Great Blazer!

"I have this in the Heather color in xs. Like the other reviewers said, this definitely runs large. I saw this on the site and decided I'd need to try it on in store before I bought it in case it turned out to be too big for me to wear (5'1"), and the version they had at my local FP pretty much swallowed me whole and had all the boxiness mentioned by the other reviewers, so I passed on it. Eventually I decided the color (which is much browner in person) and wool were too pretty for me to let go, so I decided to get it after all and have it altered to fit better, so I just ordered it from the website instead. But, strangely enough, the version that I just got fits me much better than the one I got in store and isn't nearly as boxy in the shoulder. It fits like a true xs, and is fantastic. I can't wait to wear this in the fall! And if you're thinking of getting this, I definitely recommend ordering off the website instead of getting it from the store - all the x-smalls in my local free people were definitely not the "real" size - maybe there was a label mixup?"

Bit too big
8.1.2012-
"At first I was ready to send this back, it runs larger than expected (I bought a medium) and made me look sort of boxy. It's also much more brown than pictured. But I've come to love it, very comfortable and chic. Just know what youre paying for."

"It's a bit broad across the shoulders, like a boyfriend, but it fits well everywhere else. The sleeves are a little loose to stay rolled up and scrunched like in the images. The material is a really tight weave, so it holds its shape well."

Great fitting comfy jacket

"I was skeptical about pulling the trigger on this blazer because I'm 5 feet tall and 100 lbs and very afraid of being swallowed by a boxy silhouette. So I didn't buy it online, and instead waited for the local store to carry it. Saw it today, tried it on, and voila, it was perfect. Loose, but somehow flattering. And soft... highly recommend."

Hmm...
7.19.2012-
"I am 5'3'' 34B and 115 lbs. I bought the xs and it is still very big on me. It does not fit like the model, more like a "professor jacket" in my opinion and fits like a men's/boyfriend's blazer. Under the arms is big and the cuffs are large...The merino wool is also a little difficult to handle. Some stretching and reshaping are def needed after washing. The ends (cuffs and pockets) have rough edges, so they are not sewn and has a rugged look to it. I still like it but I would definitely buy the flower power cardi over this one..."
