I was't sure if this would work when I ordered the item as the price was a lot less than I had seen in the stores. I wanted a black jacket for dress and dress casual with a "something different," factor.I got EXACTLY what I was looking for in this jacket!It arrived on a hanger covered in plastic, nice touch.It is soft and plush, but not stuffed animal plush. Meaning you won't have difficulty in moving around as it is surprisingly lightweight.I can easliy see this with a dress for an evening out or for a weekend activty with jeans and a nice pair of heeled boots.I am very pleased with the simple lines and understated plush factor of the jacket. So I can do a lapel pin or a silk scarf to kick it up a notch or wear a patterned dress and it won't compete with whatever I happen to be wearing.The quality is high on this jacket as I am very particular about details. It has 4 hook and eye clasps down the front. If you are larger in the chest, you will be happy with the fit. I was pleasantly surprised that the Large fit perfectly, and so I would say that this fits like a better brand in that a 38C will fit the size Large.Don't wait on this one.ENJOY!
