Checked Boucle Jacket

Well at least I didn't pay full price for this shapeless garment. The fit is terrible and fabric is shiny and very cheap looking. So disappointed.

This coat is not for home use, but for overseas and Melbourne visits in winter. I don’t usually buy dark jackets, but the checks and the shimmery, reflective shine gives it brightness. I also bout one size up in S. perfect fit when wearing over other clothes. Sleeves are a bit long, bit that is useful in coats when tucking hands up to keep them warm. I think it is very good value and will be happy wearing it.

This is a lovely coat but I found it a bit too sparkly for me and the fabric felt rather rough.

this coat is beautiful. it is fully lined and has a shimmer through the patterned outside fabric, which doesn't show up in the pictures online. This coat is a statement piece in classic colours and pattern: making it timeless. you could dress it down with jeans and a basic tee or dress it up; black dress, tights/leggings, high boots and beret.rnrnit's also generous in size, I found it instore but they only had S and M left. I'm normally an L but tried it anyway and the M fit perfectly. it has the details of a fancy structured coat, but the fabric has stretch and movability. (I have chunkier arms and broad shoulders which can sometimes lead to me buying a bigger size than I need to fit them in)

I bought this jacket when it was super cheap and I love it. I wore it on some very wild, drizzly and cold days out marshalling the troops off the school oval and it kept me all snug. Who'd have thought I'd wear a sparkly coat! Not me!
