Tweed Straight Short Jacket

Very useful jacket. Can be worn with jeans, to dress down or dressed up with smart trousers or a skirt.

I love green so was attracted to this jacket. I’m borderline petite and often struggle with sleeves being too long but this fits me perfectly. I thought it was a bit on the pricey side as it contains no wool but with the recent 20% discount it wasn’t too bad.

I was very pleased with this jacket as I had been looking for one for some time which wasn't too expensive. I did change the buttons on it as I found the original buttons too brassy for my taste but this was just a personal choice. It is ideal to to wear with jeans or even a dress for more formal occasions.

Unfortunately this jacket had such long sleeves it was laughable to see me in it. The shorter length is good for those of us with sorted bodies but most people do not have arms the length the sleeves suggested. Material was a loose tweed so very prone to snagging

The jacket is a bit on the short side which will affect what it can be worn with.there are 4 large buttons o the pockets which I will remove. Despite the above it is a very nice jacket.

I loved the look of the jacket when it came through by email and ordered it straight away. However I was very disappointed in the quality of the fabric and colour. On the photos it looked as thought it was a mixture of blue and green check in the tweed, but in fact was pretty much green and rather ‘flat’. Also the weight of the fabric was too light for it to hold it’s shape well. Pity, loved the design and a different palette from the usual navy/cream/red and neutral colours on offer

I loved the colour and the fabric and the boxy shape. As someone else said in a review the buttons are not gold they are silver and if I'd kept the jacket I would certainly have changed them for something, in my case, less shiny - but that's easily done and a personal choice. I thought it a good weight for spring, that kind of shape isn't meant to be for warmth! And, again like that same other reviewer, I think it would have been better with hooks all down the front rather than just at the top. I bought a size up from my usual as it would have to go over things and it was OK but not generous. But then nor is this style.

A stylish jacket purchased in one size smaller than my usual size 8 due to it fitting better on the shoulder in a smaller size, and also due to the sleeves being overly long! Lovely colour, great for day to day wear; would appreciate a more quality product at a higher price for more occasional wear.

I loved the colour of this jacket and the size 12 fitted me well ( I would say slightly generous side) HOWEVER the sleeves were just too long. I spent ages in the changing room deciding whether I could turn them up successfully myself ( I decided not) but concluded that it was not worth investing in alterations for such an inexpensive jacket. Had it been better quality and more of an investment piece I might have considered this. However, if it fits you, a bargain for £59. (Not sure why M&S assessing everything for warmth!)

I ordered this online and deliberated for some time after it arrived as to whether to keep it or return it. It should be a classic Chanel tweed jacket but it doesn't quite come off. The fabric is of course much cheaper than a Chanel! I would have been prepared to pay a bit more for a rather better fabric as it is a bit on the thin side. A touch of wool might have helped. It's also meant to be a cropped jacket and it looks great on the model, on whom it is indeed cropped. The website doesn't tell us how tall she is but you can bet she's not 5'3". I am. And it's not cropped on me. A pity as it does rather spoil it. It's not long - I would call it medium length on me, but to be fair I am short-waisted. The website also refers to "shiny gold buttons". Sorry, these are not gold buttons. For those people who, like me, are very hot on their colours and can either wear silver or gold but not both, you will like to know that these buttons are in fact silver. All my jewellery is gold and these buttons looked dreadful on me. Not a problem - I could easily change them. Looked in my button box and found some gold buttons far nicer. The other strange thing was that it is described as having an "edge to edge design". I had hesitated before ordering because I'm not overly keen on edge to edge jackets - I do like to do them up if it gets chilly. But then I find that they have, rather oddly, put a single hook and eye at the top on the inside of the jacket. Who wears a jacket like that? But that gave me the idea that I could add hooks & eyes all the way down - which is what I have done! Now I have a jacket that can be fastened all the way down. Job done! Needless to say, I decided to keep the jacket.
