Arms too short!, 28 April 2009 By MK Mummy

"I bought this in the sale in black, size 16.

I always order my Boden coats and jackets in size 16 as I like to be able to fit a sweater underneath.

This was fine across the chest (36B), but at least 3 inches too short in the arms and too big around the waist.

I am 5ft 11'' and I would have preferred a little more length in the body too.

I liked the style and the idea of a chic alternative to the denim jacket, but this just didn't work for me, even at the sale price of £60. It has been returned, sadly. (I should have heeded the comments from those other reviewers about the short arm length...they were right!)"

"I usually wear boden size 12 or 14, depending on fit, but this was way too big. I didn't try a smaller size because there weren't any more left, but I don't think a smaller one would have worked anyway, as it flares out rather a lot at the hips and I am not very curvy."

"I've worn this jacket just about every day since buying. It's fab in black and if it came back into stock in the light brown I have to say I'd buy that too. I do however agree with previous comments - arms too short and I'm not sure I would have paid the full price for it...."

"I love love love this coat - stylish, smart but not too smart, and warm enough for coldish days but also good for warmer ones. Sizing good - I'm 5'3 and a regular 12, and it's a perfect fit. My only teeny-tiny moan is that it holds onto fluff from my jumpers, but otherwise I can't say enough good things about it. Please do us another one!"

"lovely jacket but way too pricey for the original price, and to be honest for the sale price it's not a bargain either. Lovely jacket, not v. warm, waxing thin & Bodens famously short arms come out again.

Just slightly under par for Boden, not quite the full wax jacket quality that I would like or expect."

"This jacket is fabulous, well done Boden! I am a size 12 and suffer from 'short arm' syndrome - I ordered this jacket in a size 12 and it is a superb fit. It also looks so stylish and can bridge the divide quite happily between casual and smart casual - I love it! Other reviewer is right though it does attract other fibres if you are not careful, but you just need to wash off with a damp cloth."

"This is just a brilliant every day jacket. I ordered my usual size 12 and it fits perfectly - very slimming and flattering. I can get the warm toasty fleece on under it too for extra warmth. Only problem is fibres from my Boden scarf and other fibres stick to it quite easily. I just wipe it down with a damp cloth and it's fine."

"L-O-V-E this jacket... I have it in black, and it is so flattering and stylish! I'm in my 40's and it makes me feel youthful without looking silly. I didn't have problem with sleeve length (I'm 5'6"), but the sleeves where slightly tight when I reached out front. I only wish the brown were available in my size and I'd buy that too!"

"The picture of the black jacket doesnt do this justice. It looks much better in real life! I got this in brown size 12....I sized up and am glad I did. Agree with other reviews that the arms could be longer, but the overall look is superb. Top quality and very good value. This looks classy and the fabric keeps you very warm and dry. I expect I'll be wearing this for years to come."

"This is a really lovely jacket which can't really be appreciated from the photo of the model wearing it. (It's not her fault i hasten to add but it really doesn't show the cut and finish to it's best advantage - look at the product shot for a better idea).

The finish is fab (I even like how it smells) and it's a lovely shape.

I did wonder about the sizing and went for a 12 (which is my usual size for anything Boden apart from knitwear when I have to size up) which proved to be the right choice. There's room for layers and the length is good (I can see that if I'd sized up the length would have made it too boxy a shape).

I did also wonder if the stitching and the buttons would be too contrasty (the stitching looks quite white on my monitor and the buttons a bit yellowy and shny) but both are much more subtle in real life.

Really pleased with this. Another Boden item that's great as it's so different from much of the same old stuff everyone else does."

"This is my favorite Boden purchase. I'm usually a lot more critical than this--but I fell in love with this jacket. I'm an odd size and short and fit is always an issue. This fits beautifully on me. I think it's cut so well that it will flatter many shapes and sizes. What I love most about it is that it is YOUNG without being purely silly. It's so difficult to find clothes with style and an edge, especially if you are petite. This jacket has both. I was a bit sceptical about the fabric descriptn--waxed cotton--but it turned out to be fabulous. My faith in Boden is restored. This jacket is chic and understated and young--gorgeous!!"

"I was somewhat put off by the reviews and put off purchasing the jacket but eventually succumbed. The overall appearance was really good. I did not experience a problem with the sleeve length -- I'm 5'6" tall with what I think are average length arms -- the sleeves come down well below my wrists so maybe there is variation in sleeve length between sizes. I am a size 20 so it is really hit and miss whether Boden fitted items will fit well. I found the jacket was slightly narrow on shoulders -- and I have very narrow shoulders but a large chest which made the jacket appear a little odd and gapey on the upper back but I'm hoping the appearance will improve as I continue to lose weight. Ideally I would have purchased a larger size even though I anticipate losing more weight. I am keeping the jacket as it is lovely and stylish"

"A really nice jacket that seems fine on the sleeve length and for overall fit, and is the type of thing I've looked for in shops but until now never seemed to find the right 'look'. I can see myself wearing this a lot when the weather turns to spring (still in winter woolies at the moment). I like the fact its stylish and practical - things are usually one or the other! Based on other reviews, I was expecting it to be a bit more 'waxy' than it seems to be, but is probably a good thing as I don't like coats that are too rigid as then you feel you can't move freely. Looking forward to trying out its showerproof properties, can't comment on this as yet as have only admired it in the house in front of the mirror - roll on spring!"

"Love love this jacket! I ordered it late Thursday night and it arrived early Sat morning - how good is that!! I ordered it in black and I can see that I'm going to get so much use out of it - really versatile. I am a 14-16 and ordered the 16 as I didn't want to be restricted as to what I could wear with it. Glad I did - whilst it isn't quite as fitted its still very flattering and very comfortable and now I can invest in some lovely chunky jumers to go with it!
I agree with some of the other comments that I would have preferred the arms to be slightly longer but I can live with the length they are - its not a big deal. I am trying to lose weight and this cheered me up no end cos it made me look (closer to) skinny!!"

"I too agree with the other reviews. Short in the sleeves, tight through the shoulders but I use it pretty much daily! Perfect for Seattle weather.
I tossed the "how to clean it" tag & it does not say in the interior tag how to clean the coat other than to wipe off the otter with a damp cloth. What about the interior? Help! Thank you"

"Just received this Jacket, after suddenly more stock being available - Hurray!
I'm a size 14+, I ordered the 14 but was worried after reading the other reviews about it being snug fitting - but the 16 wasn't in stock so I hoped for the best. - I'm glad I did as it fits & I had a sweater on as well, it is a fitted jacket but that is the style.
My husband commented on it looking fantastic & then proceeded to hide it away from me till Christmas! Aggghhh it will be worth the wait though."
