I have been lusting after this jacket for some time. I actually was contemplating purchasing it at full price. (To be honest, I was surprised to see it being offered at $98 to begin with. Most of J.Crew's jackets seem to be in the $100-$200 regular price range.) When the jacket was on promotion, I gave in and got this jacket in british khaki (although I was strongly considering the bright rhubarb as well- and who knows- I still might!) ;)

This jacket is gorgeous and I am really happy with the purchase. First, sizing. I ordered a size 0 (I am normally a size 0-2). The size 0 could be a little bit more fitted on me (although it really is minimal). Second, the entire jacket is lined. I don't know why the website mentions the "bodice is lined" only, as the sleeves are lined as well. Third, the pockets. Although the jacket has faux patch pockets, the real pockets are cleverly hidden on the vertical seems of the front jacket. (Which makes putting your hands in the pockets a lot more convenient.) Fourth, I love the inverted back pleats on the jacket. They really add that feminine touch on such a lovely jacket. Fifth, the buttons. (I have a thing about buttons. I just like the extra detail that they bring to clothes.) This jacket has really great round buttons that are super cute! Overall, I really do like this jacket and think it is definitely worth purchasing.
