"I wore this jacket twice and got lots of compliments. A bit pricey as I bought it at the original price but I am satisfied with the quality and fit . The purple looks good with my brown skin tone. Nice to wear with jeans or even with slacks to work. Hope to have this in my closet for a long time. I am a US size 6 or 8 and I got the 12."

"I received my second off-duty jacket today and I was delighted with it. I bought the beige one a few weeks ago and I was pleased with the quality and unusual style of it, I have n't worn it yet because I am saving it for the milder weather.I am planning to wear it with lovely colourful skirts with shades of sage green or plums and lilacs and coloured tights to take me through the chilly-nesss of early spring. I also make felt flower brooches and I will wear a brooch on it to co-ordinate the look.
The blue one has a beautiful muted tone to it and I am planning wearing it with reds and denims and rich shades of blues, and again complete my look with a felt brooch.I bought mine in size 16, and I feel that it gives me a smart but quirky look which does suit my personality.
So I can see that there is a purple left in my size but I can't quite afford another! So if your pondering about whether or not to buy it , just treat yourself! It is a really nice unusual jacket."

Beautiful but poorly fitting jacket, 12 February 2009 By alicet

Fit:		1 out of 5
Appearance:		5 out of 5
Quality:		5 out of 5
Value:		3 out of 5

"I am a pretty standard size 10 and most Boden clothes in this size fit me like a glove (and yes I have sampled A LOT of them!)

This jacker is beaustifully made and the detailing is gorgeous and sets it apart. But the waistline was in a funny place - neither empire line or on your waist and consequently made me look enormous which is not the look I was striving for!

Worth a punt as if it fits you it is gorgeous but not for me"

"I ordered the brown off-duty jacket with the purple stripe in my usual size 12 and was so excited when it arrived. It looked really nice, well-made and the colour contrast brown/purple looked really good. However - the fit ... The arms were quite a bit long on me and the upper part around the chest was just too tight. It just didn't look right and it really did not feel right either, I hardly managed to do the buttons up. So, unfortunately, it had to go back. I've since ordered the short velvet swing coat and am very happy with it - lovely fit, much better!"

"This jacket is beautiful and unique. I have the brown and did not need to size up. I am a 10/12 and got the 10. (Unlike the velvet blazer which I tried and the 10 was tiny on me!) The purple contrast of this jacket makes it special and the green lining is lovely. My mom and I both have it and now she wants the blue! The first time I wore it I got 2 compliments in 3 hours. Fab!"

"Love this as just a jacket to go with anything. I am a size 12-14 so bought 14 in beige and fit is great. Goes with jeans for casual look and work trousers to be smart. Only gripe is that I am 5'10 so would have preferred it slightly longer with band a bit lower, but still love it."

"I was so looking forward to this jacket but the fit was a bit off. Overall, it is sized appropriately but the sleeves are a pinch long and the shoulders/mid-back were a pinch too tight. Just enough that I couldn't justify keeping it. I am disappointed, though, as I had been looking forward to it for some time. I ordered the brown with purple trim and it was cute. The 12 fit best, though, not well enough, and the 14 was way too large. The material and weight were perfect."

"I originally ordered this jacket in a 10, but found the sleaves to be short and shoulders tight so I sent it back and reordered the 12. The 12 is generous and has plenty of room for a sweater underneath and much longer sleaves. I am keeping the 12 and receive complements on it every time I go out. This is a very nicely made piece and the purple with red accent ribbon is beautiful!"

"I fell in love with this in the catalogue, and agonised about which colour to order. Eventually I ordered the blue, which is a lovely colour. Unfortuately the fit is not good, just generally unflattering. The sleeves are too long, and hard to alter because of the lovely banding detail, and the fabric is very different to the appearance in the photograph, even zoomed in close. Not at all what I expected, so I will be returning. Keeping the rest though!"

"I don't usually buy jackets online as I feel that I am difficult to fit (large bust, wide shoulders). However I took a chance and ordered this as the stock was low in my size and I was feeling lucky. It actually fits quite well and looks really cute! The plum color is lovely and very fashionable and goes with a lot of other things I own. Quite pleased with my first Boden jacket."

"I was really looking forward to this jacket. I normally wear a 14 top, so I ordered this size jacket. It fits very loose, but not loose enough for me to send it back. Personally, I don't like clothes to fit me tightly. But, if you want the jacket to fit as snuggly on the model, then you may want to consider sizing down as some others recommend.

Also, I really like the front pockets. Some Boden jackets have those fake pockets, but this has slash pockets that really work. I love the colour (blue)."

"I read the other reviews about this jacket before purchasing. I purposely ordered a size 10 (I'm a size 12) because others talked about the fit being larger. I just got the jacket today (love, love, love it!!!) but I will have to exchange it for a 12. I found the 10 to be too small. So if you ask me, i would say the jacket is true to size. My plans are to wear it w/ jeans and a t-shirt underneath. Not as a real jacket. And the 10 was still too small. (Mind you I'm not very busty either.) Just some fyi for those who will read reviews before purchasing!"
