Candy Color Short Denim Jacket

I feel that the green jacket is a very different shade of green than the image of when I purchased it but I’ll keep it even tho it’s not the same shade of green.

I really like this jacket, except for the "warehouse, blue-jean" smell. I washed it three times & even added a little bit of vinegar (for the smell). The smell has dissipated a lot but is still there. However, not as bad, though. I normally was a size medium (in tops), but I got this jacket in a large. Just because I can also wear in the winter over a sweater if needed. Now, in the hot mths., I just fold back the cuff (at the wrist) once & it works fine (still fashionable). Lol, The length is also perfect. for me too.

I've had many denim jackets but this is the most comfortable. The denim is moderately soft and not stiff, very comfortable, yet substantial and not too thin. I am 5'2" and 136 lbs., and have difficulty finding short jackets that will close around my waist and hips. The Medium is perfect in that way and fits nicely with no binding or gapping over my chest. The shoulders fit well, the upper arms are a bit snug on me because I have extra fat there, but this will work over a lightweight top or tee without looking tight, but not over a hoody or sweater at my weight. It is not cropped and sits slightly below my waist. The arm length for me is about 2" too long and I will have it altered or just roll the sleeves. I consider this to be a great, basic wardrobe piece and it goes really well with black or khaki pants, colorful tees and of course contrasting jeans, casual dresses, and skirts.

This is a cute jacket that is soft and stretchy. I am a size 10 who usually buys XL T-shirts because I have broad shoulders. In this case, because of the stretch, I could have gone with an L. But, since the XL is comfortable and it may shrink in the wash, I'll keep it.

If you are hoping to replicate your 1980's jacket, look elsewhere. It does not have the tough, heavy feel of an old-school jacket. (My old one was acid washed ;) Also, the buttons are larger than back in the day.

Putting nostalgia aside, this is a great jacket for mild days or cool nights. Will look cute over T-shirts and dresses. A good purchase!

This jacket is very nice. It is stretchy material & is so comfortable. However, I normally wear a medium and it was so big. I’m going to exchange it for a small one. To the person reading this debating, I would size down when you are ordering.
