Military Button Jacket

This is a really stylish jacket, made from quality fabric and with lovely styling details - very wearable. However, it is cut very small under the arms and the sleeves are also quite short. It would benefit from a hook and eye fastening below the lowest button. For reference, I am 5'9.5 and almost always a size 10, but the 10 was way too tight under the arms for me. The 12 fits well under the arms, but is too big around the waist. However, I know a good seamstress and love the jacket enough to have it altered to fit me properly.

I really wanted to love this jacket, it was exactly what i'd been looking for. It was a good fit everywhere except the front of the jacket stuck out in two points and just looked odd... It would annoy me and i'd feel self conscious of the front pointy bits so it will have to be returned. Maybe if it fastened at the front it would have looked better. Shame.

Excellent jacket. I cannot find any fault with it. It looks classy.

I spotted this jacket on the M & S website and had to order it right away. The fabric is great quality, thicker than an average blazer, but without being so thick that it would be bulky and spoil the look. I found it to fit true to size and very comfortable. I think it's very stylish and the military design means I'll be wearing it for years to come. The styling isn't over the top, and I think it could be worn by various age groups. The buttons, in particular, look fabulous. I've worn it with jeans, and it also looks great with smarter trousers. I only wish I could wear heels as I bet that look would be stunning!

Love the look and detail of this jacket. Wish you could just fasten it in the middle . The material is nice quality the sleeve does seem to be twisted inside slightly which seems to happen with m&s jackets. This jacket will be very wearable casual or smart in the whole really pleased with this item.

I love this jacket ... it looks great with trousers - smart or casual. The quality is very good and is generally a very stylish, flattering little jacket.

Nice looking jacket.fitted well.

Beautiful jacket. The only negative point being, the jacket could of done with a fastening, maybe where the last two buttons are at the bottom of the jacket (hook & eye, inside the jacket, to keep it together), this would finish the jacket off.

I have taken photographs of the appalling stitching behind the buttons before I returned the item which in no way hung like the photo

I love military style jackets so was really looking forward to receiving this one. It was a real disappointment - the front feels really 'bulky' and the sleeves are quite tight, particularly under the arms. Sadly, it will be returned.
