The journey is a bit lengthy, but the destination is satisfactory. The jacket is as pictured, stretchy, and comfortable. Be mindful of the sizing, as it runs small. My body measurements in centimeters are: shoulder 40, chest and back outline 92, waist 73, hips 89, and height 171. I typically wear an S or M, depending on the clothing item, but I ordered an XL this time, and it fits closely. The sleeves might be a tad short, but since it's for spring wear, and I won't be layering with a sweater, it's acceptable. It is beautiful!
