This is a smart jacket, yet more comfortable than others I've tried due to the addition of lycra. Small was a good fit for me (I take Small in Roxy, but Medium in Chloe), 5 foot 4, size 10/12 on top. The texture, fabric and the fact the sleeves can be pushed up mean it can be worn more casually without looking "office-y", but still smart enough for work too. Marine blue also makes it softer and less formal than navy, and able to go with more colours including different navys/blues on bottom half. It is expensive for a cotton jacket, but I think I will get good cost-per-wear and it's machine washable. read more »

I love this jacket. The fit is perfect and so chic and the colour Marine Blue is perfect. read more »

I bought the melon sorbet in a medium. The colour is bright but it is good for me as a paintbox spring and I love it. It can be toned down a bit by wearing a softer colour underneath. The fit is good for my size 12/14. I also like the weight of it, so it's a hit. read more »

This is a nice style and looks great. It isn't as soft as other Kettlewell jackets though. Not sure about the shoulder pads either. read more »

For years, I was classified as a Light Spring. Recently, I had colors done by John Kitchener using his Personal Color Analysis. The palette is quite different, more Summer with more dusty tones, but not too soft. The first item I bought in my new colors was this jacket in Smoked Grape. It is superb! I have gotten amazing comments about how good I look when wearing it. The jacket is the perfect weight for Texas and fits just right. Would love more items in Smoked Grape! read more »
