Good for layering,

By: farmerg

"A bit larger than I expected (for a large size) and more orange than paprika, but it will do as an over layer to some other sweaters."

Summer jacket,
April 30, 2013
By: Faithfulfriend
from London
"Put it on and wore it immediately. Lovely. Agree slip in pockets would have been a bonus. Sleeves are too long, but tuck up ok. Long sleeves may look 'cool' for youngsters, but are a nuisance e.g. when cooking, and wear quickly thus reducing how long garment will last."

Love this sweatshirt,
March 6, 2013
By: dids
from Hilton Head Island, SC
"I am very pleased with this item. The fabric is a great weight for a medium jacket in chilly weather, but also can be layered under a fleece or heavier coat for very cold weather. The slightly fitted drape allows this jacket to go from sporty to casual dress. Ideal for a weekend away. I am 5'8" and the sleeves are perfect."

Great sweatshirt,

"After getting the sizing right, usually wear a Large but it was too big. Med fit perfectly. Like the paprika color will go with a lot of earth tones. Well made. Warm."

polished and casual,
December 3, 2012
By: Gailen
from CT
"I bought this top for myself last year and love it for its quality, comfort and looks. I'm always being told it has great lines. This year I was asked for one gift by someone: a top exactly like mine. So now I've bought one as a Christmas present and know it will become as much a uniform for her as mine as has been for me - great looking, polished and comfortable to boot."

"Really like this Sweater. Bought the orange one first then the navy. Didn't give it 5 stars because it does not have pockets. I am a big pocket fan!"

By: Maxine3
from Marblehead, MA.
"I was so looking forward to wearing this sweatshirt. I ordered one in navy last year.The paprika product didn't have pockets, my navy one does. What happened? I consider pockets very important. I'm sending this back and am sad not to be able to keep this."

Hopes dashed,
October 1, 2012
By: janiemac
"This looked like the perfect little jacket/sweatshirt but not so. It is completely boxy - no shape what soever and the deal breaker is no pockets. For the price it might be well constructed, but no style at all."

zipper problem,
September 21, 2012
By: Gaelic2Garlic
"Zipper sticks and is difficult to zip up. Then the jacket bulges out because the zipper is stiff and bulges out. It does not lie smoothly and I find this very uncomfortable. I am going to return it to you, as a matter of fact!"

Nice Jacket,
August 28, 2012
By: splt
from missouri
"Nice fall weight without being to heavy. Bought "Paprika" color - very pretty but not AT ALL the color presented in the photo. The photo shows it as more of an orange tone but in reality it is FAR more red with a hint of orange in it. Will still keep it - good cut and comfort."

"this is second one I ordered. Purchased one last year in xl. Most of you womens that is correct size for me. It got bigger every time washed on cold. Ordered Paprika this year in xl. again too big. Returned for L. Really like weight for our moderate climate but will only dry clean. Not wash per instructions"

Soft and cuddly,
August 27, 2012
By: Blossombug
"This material is yummy. I just fell into the softness. And the color (paprika) is really pretty. The only drawback I found was the sizing. It seemed to be cut really generously for a large. I should have ordered a medium but you never know until the product arrives."

Rich Color,

By: ochre
"Really like the color. Fit is good except the sleeves are a few inches too long for me - a fairly easy fix.I'd prefer a sleeve that fits closer around the wrist."
