Absolutely love this, especially the confetti. I have 2 already. Would highly recommend. The 1st two I bought were small but I had to return the confetti and get a medium, may come up a bit smaller?

I love the Chloe jacket and ordered this one at the same time. It comes up smaller/tighter on the arms than a Chloe jacket, so I am medium in this and small in Chloe (I am size 10, 32FF). I really loved the colour, but didn't love the faux suede and much preferred the Chloe material, so sent it back. However I might have kept it in a medium. I think this is worth a try, but personally would need to size up.

My third Rachel jacket, this time in Cosmos Purple and it's as divine as the other two. Smart and comfortable enough as a jacket/cardigan for working from home, it's great for layering over any of Kettlewell's tees. They work brilliantly over skirts and dresses as well as jeans. The cost per wear is so low because I wear these most days and my oldest is nearly three years old. Fab! Size LL for UK 16

SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Confetti

I have succumbed to a pink (confetti) jacket! I wasn't going to buy another one of these but I couldn't resist the colour. I find the Rachel jackets a bit tricky size wise as the medium (my normal size) is really quite fitted but having tried on both M and L I have decided that the fitted look is better in these jackets (the same conclusion I came to last time!). I adore the colour!

What an incredible color! I am an autumn and took the leap because I intuitively felt it was my color as a soft autumn. At a US 18/20, the fit is perfect. I am busty but wonā€™t likely be zipping closed anyway. The arms and body of the jacket are a perfect fit. I think you should code this for soft autumns also! When I can, Iā€™ll submit a picture.

Well, after more than two years looking, I finally decided to order a Rachel jacket.

Just couldnā€™t decide as they are each so versatile and smart. The grass green is vibrant and a ā€œ cheerfulā€ colour, perfect for my true Spring pallet. I am 5ft 2, size 8 to 10 and the small fits perfectly. Itā€™s a little snug when fastened but I would only wear it open. So pleased!šŸ˜Š

I discovered Kettlewell about 2 years ago and have always fancied a Rachel jacket. I was deterred by the price but last month my husband offered to buy me one for my birthday!šŸ˜€ My next dilemma was colour (Iā€™m Spring). I dithered for a week or so and tbh an unexpected discount swayed my decision and I ordered camel. Iā€™m so pleased I did! I normally favour brighter shades but this is very versatile and smart. I am 5 ft 2 and size 8 to 10 and the small is a good fit. It is a tad tight for zipping up but I prefer it open. I feel confident wearing it and it has attracted compliments.

Bought to plug a gap ( I have Chloe in damson, sangria, lilac, and Rachel in Blackberry, clover and sea spray, oh and glacier - had nothing blue! Really wanted slate but sold out. Anyway! I havenā€™t worn yet as I feel a bit too summery even for this summer! Hopefully I will wear in spring although Iā€™m finding Sizing slightly different from previous ones.

I do like my Rachel jacket, however Iā€™m a bit concerned about colour transference and not keen on washing it before I wear . When I tried it on it left little blue bits over my tee shirt underneath. Donā€™t know if this is usual.

Kettlewellā€™s faux suede jackets have long been my favourite item: long-lasting, washable in the machine, uncrushable in a bag or case when packing, great with skirts, trousers, jeans or dresses. I have quite a collection after many years - both pre-loved and new - and hope the company keeps making them. Love this colour, a great crossover soft shade suitable for soft autumns and summers. Sizing has increased over the years and having once been a perfect M fit I now find myself torn between S and M. Chose M as I can fit a jumper underneath that way.

Delighted with my Raspberry Rachael Jacket - perfect colour, fit and style. These jackets look fantastic on and do receive many compliments - I have to admit this is not my only one! My only "gripe" is they are, in my mind overpriced for what you actually get. However we are a captive audience as the colour range you offer are brilliant and so far removed from the usual ones by other retailers. Why don't you introduce a loyalty scheme or delivery pass scheme for all your loyal customers? When you add up what we spend in total because on average you goods or on the expensive side (T shorts, tops etc) when compared with other good brands - so these schemes would be a bit of recognition for our continued support.....only a suggestion!!

With so many reviews of the Rachel jacket I am not sure what more I can add except to say this is my second Rachel jacket it is the most supple useful jacket I have ever owned. That they do not crease, are washable and totally lift any outfit. I am so sorry that these jackets are being discontinued although I do understand they do not match Kettlewell's high environmental standards. But as they last so long surely that makes up for it!

This jacket fits seamlessly into my deep summer palette, and I find it can be dressed up or worn more casually, so it's an incredibly versatile item. I'm 5'8" with a longish torso and I find the slightly cropped fit on me is great for creating a leg-lengthening illusion. Works with any of my higher waisted jeans or pants, and skirts and dresses. I would almost never spend this much on a light jacket, but I see this as a piece that will last for years and suit many occasions. It's very well designed and tailored.

I had hesitated purchasing the Rachel for over two years based on the cost(Cdn$315) and the fact that I am 5 ft 2 in with very wide shoulders, worrying that the cut would not work for my shape. I am so glad I moved this item off my Wish List and purchased it. It fits beautifully and is as lovely as all the other reviewers have said. It will be used so often that the cost per wear will be minimal by year end. If the price is holding you back, as it did me, do not hesitate any longer, you will love the style and fit, it is worth every penny.

Not my first Rachel - I love them. Theyā€™re one of my favourite KW designs because theyā€™re such versatile pieces and so easy care, easy wear. Absolutely perfect for travelling, work and play! I was grateful I had the chance to try this one on at the Colour Studio as the size M was definitely more fitted than either my Alpine Green or Nautical Blue ones. Iā€™m usually a size L in tops so in fairness, itā€™s probably more true to size than the jackets from previous collections. Anyway, Iā€™m delighted with it. Love the contrast of the shiny Silver Zips! Iā€™ve wanted a replacement for my worn out black leather jacket for ages and this fits the bill perfectly with the added bonus it also fits under a coat! šŸ˜Š

Kettlewell runs small, so be sure and check the size guide for each item, as it can vary between styles. I'm a 10, sometimes an 8, and I often wear a Large. Pricey, but I think it's worth it.

This is a lovely jacket that can be worn year round depending on the weather. The yellow is such a great color for a winter like myself.

A lovely, chic little jacket in a beautiful cool shade; Lavender Blue. Iā€™m 5ā€™ 3ā€, size 10and bought the small which fits perfectly.

This is my third Rachel, so I really like the style, however I feel the sizing is slightly off, the previous ones were small and a perfect fit, but I've had to get xs this time. I like the colour, but if there is a crossover colour like this, they always seem to have a silver zip, which is not great for warm seasons. Perhaps a burnished zip would be fairer.

SIZE: Large COLOUR: Clover

It's a lovely material and colour. The sizing is not perfect for me as I'm wider on the bottom than the top, so I've had to get a L so it zips up but a mM would have fitted me better on the shoulders, which would have been better for this style of jacket The pockets are so small that they would have been better without the zips, I think. I knew it would be a compromise.

My 4th Rachel jacket, I am a big fan. I hesitated with this one though as I thought Rich Navy might be too dark for me - Iā€™m a cool summer. I love this colour! The fabric is so comfortable to wear and washes well. Never looks creased, no matter how long itā€™s been folded up inside a handbag.

I actually sent this back first time around as I just felt it was too expensive for an unlined polyester jacket, which arguably it is! However after trying hard to get a purple suede suitable alternative elsewhere and not succeeding, I capitulated and bought one again and LOVED wearing it.,...many compliments received too! So much so I have just ordered another one in the deeper purple. I know I will get a lot of wear out if these jackets...still feel a bit cheated on cost though! General comment- Kettlewells quality is very good, quite pricey but you get what you pay for normally. Thankfully they do an XS size although I do smile when they say on the video clips if you like this style fitted size down as this one is relaxed...where do XS people go - why don't you introduce an XSPetite or and XXS when a style is loose??!

Love, love, love this jacket. I now have 4 (it was 5, but I gave my friend one, who had coveted it for ages - she is delighted!). It works so well as a dress-up or dress-down. My gorgeous purple looks great with the indigo square neck vest and white jeans. Looks fresh & crisp. It also looks good for work with a more sombre black dress. Can't rate this jacket highly enough - soooo soft to the touch, and a modern classic. I'm a 14 but bought a large so that I can wear it over layers, but being a 'clingy' sort of fabric, it never looks too big, if worn over a thin top. Bit pricey but worth it.

Gorgeous addition to add to my growing selection of Kettlewell jackets. I chose the golden spice to go with a dress in red coral, to wear to a wedding. The colour combination looks stunning and has turned a dress that is perhaps a little too bright for my autumn colouring into something I feel much more confident in. The jacket itself is so soft and light weight. I bought a medium because I'm tall (5'10") and need the length in the arms. A small would have been a better fit but I hate sleeves that are too short. Despite this, the jacket still looks lovely on and I can easily fit a jumper underneath if need be.

This is my first purchase of a jacket from Kettlewellcolours, I was unsure of the size to order as I wanted it to do up and also accommodate a fine sweater underneath.

SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Clover

Have tried this style twice now in various colours. I like the look of the suede effect, but it is a rather inflexible fabric with very little ā€˜giveā€™ in it. The pockets are virtually useless. Due to the cut of the zip the pockets are extremely shallow and are neither useful for hankie storage let alone putting your hands in them. The overall look from afar is good and quite flattering. But the fit and feel of the jacket, and the impractical pockets, meant this style isnā€™t for me. I do like the Roxy though. I tried the clover this time, hoping to match it to the Tilly dress. Have learnt that more pastel colours do nothing for me: Iā€™m definitely keener on a stronger deeper colour for a jacket with a wow effect.

Really nice-looking jacket and I love the greystone color. It runs a bit small in the shoulders/upper back area, and the fabric is a bit sticky, so it might be nice to either provide more ease in the shoulders and/or line the jacket with something smooth to provide more ease of movement.

SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Camel

Iā€™ve had this jacket in camel for a while, and absolutely love it, itā€™s so soft and comfortable to wear and really completes an outfit. I wanted another so thought I would try the rich navy (Iā€™m a bright autumn), but sadly it really didnā€™t suit me, and the fabric had more of a polyester shine to it in this colour. I will be buying it in another colour at some stage though, but it would be wonderful if Kettlewell could do this style in a more natural fabric. Iā€™m a 12/14 U.K. and wear the medium, which is close fitting in the body, which I donā€™t mind, but fits better on the shoulders than a large did.

I 've had my eye on one these jackets for a while and am so glad I finally bought one. I love the style, fit and feel of the material; and the jacket will be a great finishing touch for so many outfits ( a lot of them Kettlewell!) already in my wardrobe. Can't wait for some better weather to enjoy wearing it. The Medium is a perfect fit for me (10/12). It's one of the more expensive pieces, but will be well worth it.

I recently purchased the Rachel jacket in bright violet, size M. It is a lovely lightweight layering piece that I plan on wearing over tops and dresses. The arm length is a bit short on me (with my long arms) but over all the fit is good. I'll get a lot of use out of it and plan on buying in another color. Nice classier alternative to a jean jacket.

SIZE: LL COLOUR: Cosmos Purple

This is a nice stylish jacket but I feel itā€™s a little overpriced and not great value for money. It would be nice if it had some type of lining as it drags as you put it on over other fabrics. The faux suede is very good but polyester is not ideal in this world that we live in. I kept it for a few days and tried it on twice but for the above reasons felt I had to return it. It was an over indulgence and going against many principles that I hold.

It's my second Rachel and I have a feeling I'll be coming back for more ... in no particular order I love the sensuousness of the fabric, the fit, style and the colour richness - in essence, it just makes me feel fabulous! It lifts any outfit, smart or casual and is great value given it's going to be worn a lot. I'm mostly S in Kettlewell but do size up for some items due to my fuller bust and M in this is perfect.

This is a lovely jacket - fabric feel very soft, and itā€™s easy to wear. Iā€™m 5ā€™11 and a size 12ā€¦ I bought the L size and itā€™s not that roomy. I would have liked another inch or two on both the sleeves and the length. I bought it in slate - a great colour to go with a lot of tops -BUT - The instructions came with a warning to wash it first, there may be some colour transfer. I hand washed it three times - a great deal of colour came out each time - I machine washed it (as per the instructions) twice - largely because I wanted to wear other Kettlewell tops underneath that were pale in colour - and white too. I emailed Kettlewell to ask if they could reassure me that even after all this washing the colour would not transfer - of course they couldnā€™t guarantee this 100%. I have worn the jacket with a pale pink top - it seemed OK !

As a Classic style personality, the Rachel is probably the perfect light jacket for me. I have several of them already but wanted to try the new Greystone colour. Sadly as a Deep Summer, the colour didn't work well on me. But the other colours I have are beautiful. It is very light and unlined so not really suitable for outdoor use in cold weather by itself, but is a perfect layering piece similar to a cardigan that dresses up or down easily.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, what can I say. Itā€™s my second Rachel jacket and Iā€™m already looking at buying another one or two. Itā€™s a gorgeous little jacket and the colours are stunning. It isnā€™t cheap but it is an item that you will keep for years to come. I had seen the coral red and like so many people dithered because of the price until it was no longer available. Then someone else must have returned it and the moment I saw that it was available again I bought it and Iā€™m very, very pleased that I did. The quality is lovely, like suede but with the advantage of being able to wash it. Another customer queried how well it withstands washing and I can honestly say that it came out exactly as when it went in, only cleaner lol. I washed it separately on a gentle/wool cycle at 30 degrees. I bought the XS and it fits perfectly. Iā€™m a size 6-8, 162cm with small shoulders but not skinny and the length of the sleeves is right for me but I do have short arms.

I felt really contemporary and young and it was perfect for the red/white and BLUE for Jubilee weekend activities.

I have more of these jackets than I care to admit - they are a true workhorse in my wardrobe, as they can be dressed up or down. The fabric is luxurious feeling without feeling heavy. These can easily be worn over a sleeveless top as a light jacket, or layered over sweaters (jumpers) for more warmth. I am a size small in Kettlewell tops and bottoms, but go up a size to medium as I have wider shoulders - this lets me layer more underneath as well (the sleeves can be a little snug otherwise). At 5'9", these jackets hit right at the top of my hip, which I find to be the perfect length. And - you can wash them!

This is my 2nd Rachel jacket.

Fortunately I ended up liking the one that also fitted best so only had to send one back. It is just such a lovely versatile jacket. As an autumn leaf I love the golden green of the moss colour - my alternative choice was sea green but it felt a bit bright for me. The small size fitted me well in the body (last year it was too tight) - a little snug in the sleeves but I'm planning on wearing it for summer evenings rather than winter with sweater. As an Adventurer SP I love the way it smartens an outfit yet still has the 'casual' biker style. I'll probably add another one next winter!

I have now ordered another in bright violet. I am a size 8 and find the small a much better fit than the XS which is too tight to zip up.

SIZE: X Small COLOUR: Provence

I already have a Rachel jacket in Rich Navy and I love it. I always feel good in it - both in terms of the way it looks and how comfortable it is. It can look casual or smart, and so gets a lot of wear. I wanted another in a lighter blue for the warmer months - something versatile that could be paired with jeans and other skirts/trousers. I hesitated about the Provence because it looked a bit dull for my colouring, but of course I needn't have worried. As is often the case with Kettlewell clothes, the colour is actually better in person than on the web (if only this were true of other brands). Highly recommended. I'm sure this won't be my last one...

I am loving my Rachel jacket in pink raspberry. I also tried medium in electric blue but although I prefer medium in tops the easy fit of the large seemed right for me, although I could do up the medium and I think it's a jacket I will usually leave unzipped. I am a size 14 34F. The colour is quite soft, and not as bright as it appeared on my screen. I would love this in fuschia as I tried the Cate jacket and it wasn't right for me. I was thrilled when the electric blue became available in a large again and ordered my second Rachel, and I can see that I may want more in the future.

I find the fit flattering and comfortable - itā€™s a perfect pop of colour over a simple tee, dress or camisole. I have worn to work, on day trips and out to dinner. Really versatile and low maintenance - I love the fact if feels special without the worry of dry cleaning or regularly needing to iron as thereā€™s no creasing.

SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Provence

A huge "thanks" to Marsha who is a Blue Spring and reviewed this color. I was on the fence for literally MONTHS trying to decide if I should purchase since due to the distance returns can sometimes be lengthy. And for some reason every time I saw a photo of the color online it always looked different. This is a great color for this Blue Spring - Blue eyes, medium warm blonde hair, neutral skin tone. I also have the Roxie in Nautical Blue and each has its place. Nautical Blue looks great with Shocking Pink and other cooler colors from my palette. The Provence looks fantastic with Lemonade and my bronze medium browns and camels. (I held this up to my Brown Summer husband and the color works on him too) ;) Purchased the medium for the extra sleeve length but if I wanted to wear it with a skirt as a fitted and neat look I would have taken the small or have the medium tailored. This color is from the previous season and runs a tad smaller than this season according to the style notes.

I have to admit that last season I ordered a Rachel and sent it back without trying it on as I felt the asking price for an unlined jacket was way too much. I have watched others styling it in Colour Club and loving it so I re-ordered and I am so pleased I did. The softness of the material, the ease of wearing. For me with a short body it fits so well. I prefer jackets to cardigans and the Rachel fits in so well. It is light and can be fitted under a coat in colder weather. I am size 12/14 and phoned customer services to ask about sizes and went with their suggestion of Large. It is the most perfect jacket I have! Will be sure to purchase another.

SIZE: Medium COLOUR: Sea Green

I ordered the Rachel jacket in sea green amongst other colours in the summer spectrum, following my 1:1 colour session with Linda Lach-Szyrma. It was a 'treat to self' as there was a gap in my wardrobe for a versatile jacket, suitable for spring/ summer days. The minute I set my eyes on the jacket I was in love with the colour and was so excited to try it on with lots of outfits to determine whether it would go with enough things to make it a worthwhile purchase. I had bought various colours in two batches and the first batch that arrived (Provence and Nautical blue) I had already tried on with my wardrobe and had deduced I was going to keep the Provence colour as it went with everything and was the perfect colour for my summer wardrobe. I wasn't 'in love' with the colour however, so I proceeded to order my second batch of colours (rich navy and sea green) to check if these would sway me either way. I was instantly wowed by the sea green colour, and this was therefore my gut decision choice, versus my head decision of the Provence colour. I have not regretted it and I wore it for the first time at the weekend for my 50th celebration lunch at Denbies Vineyard and I felt really good and confident in the outfit I'd put together with it. Thank you Kettlewell for revolutionising my wardrobe!

Let me first say that I love this jacket! I receive compliments every time I wear it! The medium fit well and the style is great. The biker vibe makes it very iinteresting especially since it's an unexpected colour. It can be worn casually with jeans yet still looks stylish. It's also dressy enough to wear with trousers, a skirt or a dress and packs fabulously well. My only disappointment is the in consistency of sizing and quality. The zipper seam on the first Lavender Blue medium Rachel I received was quite puckered so it wouldn't lay flat when the jacket was unzipped. I returned it and ordered a second. It was much better and the colour really is lovely for a Summer. I recently purchased the new season's Sea Green, also in a size medium. The colour is gorgeous but the sizing is off. It seems too big overall and just didn't fit as well as the last one I purchased. I've decided to return it and try a small in hopes it will fit better. For reference I'm 5'6" 124 lbs and oblong with a waist. I do love the style of the Rachel and definitely recommend it!

It works with casual clothes as well as workwear, and I wear them as little jackets for work. I also wear them with jeans. They are very easy to pack and never wrinkle.

I love this jacket: brilliant shape, colours (I have blackberry, navy and green) all in small. It costs more than I would usually spend on myself, but am already getting lots of wear. Have worn with skirts, jeans and dresses, over jumpers, t-shirts and sometimes over several layers. It's smarter than a cardi, but easier wearing than a suit jacket. I wish that the pockets were just slightly bigger so I could get my keys and facemask in comfortably; I also wish the sleeves were longer, but I do have long arms, so the sleeves may be fine on "normal" people.

Weeks of prevarication because of the cost were a waste of valuable wearing time. This is a brilliant, beautiful and immensely useful garment.

Nor do I regret my ā€˜braveā€™ decision to go for colour (seaspray-a little bluer then it looks on screen) rather than neutral.

I recently purchased the Rachel jacket in Cranberry after seeing a lady wearing one on the Kettlewell facebook site (a great source of inspiration). I must admit to being a little unsure because I was concerned about the 'faux suede'. I needn't have worried, the fabric is beautiful, soft and the colour is just incredible. It is a good style for a more edgy finish to an outfit but as comfortable as wearing a cardigan or a wrap. I love it, and will definitely purchase more in the future. I so wanted to try the jacket in the Cranberry but the only size available was small. It is a close fit on me (size 10/12) however, I will probably never wear it fastened and with a little bit of stretch it feels fine. Overall, another great piece of clothing from Kettlewell.

Love the Rachel. I am fairly new to KW and was very disappointed with the Chloe jacket (due to sizing issues, which are being addressed - another tick for KW in my opinion as they are listening to feedback). The Rachel is beautifully soft and comfortable- great for an autumn day outside, but equally good indoors. I have 2 colours now and wear 1 or the other nearly every day. Soft Camel is very versatile, but I literally receive a compliment every time I wear Provence. Just thinking about a 3rd one ā€¦.Size L was good for me same as other KW tops .

I bought this jacket as a present to myself for a "significant" birthday, as it is quite pricey for me just to buy it for the sake of it. I bought a Medium, which is the perfect fit for me - I wear it unzipped and it hangs well and looks good. I've only worn it out once (lifestyle, rather than choice) and have already had many compliments. My one real whinge about it (seeing as it's an expensive item) is the size of the pockets. They truly are pretty useless and I'm not sure what the point of them is. For me, as a Vibrant Warm Autumn, this Coffee Rachel is great for all of my outfits. It's a colour that goes well with everything, so I won't be needing to buy another one, which means my bank account can breathe a sigh of relief!

I have several Rachels from last year when I took my usual size (medium) for a fitted look, but in this year's version I had to size down to a small for the same. The seaspray is a stunning colour - more turquoise blue than soft spruce, but still works beautifully for me as an autumn. One thing I noticed is that the lapel has a hard crease where it is folded back, if that makes sense. Last year's version came fully zipped up, so you could decide how wide you wanted the lapel to sit, which I preferred. I will have to iron out that crease if I can. Apart from that, I'm very happy.

I did try the Roxy but felt that was too short and boxy for me. The only negative I have about the Rachel, hence one star taken off for style, is the length of the sleeves. It would have been perfect if the sleeves were a little bit longer. I am tall with long arms so I do expect that in clothes although the Roxy sleeves were a better length for me.

I already have three of these (!). But just bought in Provence Blue as an 'evening out' colour.

But this a great jacket option and Provence is a good neutral colour because there is a brightness to it - it's very soft, looks very luxurious and I love it. I hope to get some good wear out of this now we are back to going out! I bought the large so that I had the option of wearing heavier weight shirts underneath. My other Rachels are a mixture of M (more fitted) and a large (more casual). I am normally a 12 but have quite broad shoulders. I am almost always an M in Kettlewell. These jackets can look smart or casual depending on what you wear them with, and how you wear them.

I bought this in Cranberry and it is a lovely deep colour. Sleeves are just about right length so long as I donā€™t stretch or bend my arms unlike the Chloe which was definitely shorter in the arm. I suspect Kettlewell realised the Rachel is short in the arm as all photos are with sleeves pushed up which is not generally how you wear a jacket.

Initially when I compared it to the Chloe I didn't like the fit as much (there's no stretch in the Rachel), but it does forms to one's shape a little with wear (I got my usual M, whereas I size down in the Chloe). Once thing I would change is the sleeves (they narrow a bit too much at the end, so harder to push up. Otherwise, there is enough weight to the fabric for it to sit well and the cranberry colour is amazing!! I am a deep autumn and the cranberry is just the right level deep, rich, yet soft. It reads as a warm colour - I am actually surprised that it is coded for winters. I have seen so many autumns shine in this one on the Colour Club.

I am utterly bewitched by the radiant Rachel jacket in Pink Raspberry (S). Somewhat unexpectedly it is a perfect fit.

I have simply not found such stunningly saturated colours in a lifetime of shopping. This is a well made garment, wonderfully wearable and beautifully co-ordinated, so I eagerly await Arabella in Cassis, which I needed to exchange for an XS. Itā€™s going to be a glorious outfit, taken directly from your very helpful look book. First ever purchase... impressed by prompt dispatch, and a very reasonable transit period to Australia, allowing me to develop a pleasurable sense of anticipation. I bought several experimental items, some of which I needed to return due to sizing issues. The ā€˜intelligent returnsā€™ system proved to be just that: efficient, smooth and problem free. and I am now looking forward to the eventual arrival in Australia of my second package.

For casual wear, I wear the Rachel as a Spring jacket, paired with a faux wrap and an infinity scarf, or on cooler days, a cashmere gauze stole, and I feel like I look put together, yet movie star-ish--the suede look really matches my style.

I have taken a bit of a punt with this jacket choosing it in a camel colour but I think it's neutral enough to get away with it. The style is perfectly elegant but edgy.

The Rachel jacket is not cheap, but I bought it nonetheless (after a deep breath!) in the hope that it would be as useful and versatile as it sounded it might be. And I was not disappointed! It's probably had the most wear of all my recent purchases. It's a lovely light faux suede, which means that I can see myself wearing it through the summer without overheating, but also means a bit of give in the fabric compared to the equivalent elsewhere. So it'll do up around my widest part without looking too baggy at the shoulders (I'm pear shaped) AND I can push up the sleeves for a more relaxed look. I also find it's a good, neat fit even though I'm petite sized on my top half. The colour goes with absolutely everything. Not convinced about the pocket sizes, as they're not big enough to handle my phone...one day maybe this will evolve an extra inner phone sized pocket!

I ordered the Greystone as I hoped it would go with lots of things in my wardrobe - and I'm happy to say it does. Super soft and comfortable and when I modeled it with jeans to the family it was declared an immediate keeper! I will be wearing it throughout the Summer for anything social where I want to look a bit more 'on trend'! I am tall (5ft 11) and slim, with broad shoulders, so I ordered a size L - it's fairly roomy and casual, but flattering. Oh, and by the way, the fabric is so soft you want to stroke it!

I hesitated to buy this jacket because of the price. I also wondered if it would be too short for me, being 5 feet 8 inches tall with a long torso. I needn't have worried! It's perfect. The colour will go with almost anything, and the length is fine. Not very thick, so not a jacket for cold days. The fabric feels soft and comfortable. The style is, well, stylish!

I was hesitant to buy this at first, because it is in the glacier blue. I thought that for this sprinter a winter that the color might be a little bit too warm. However, it comes in close to the ice blue. Close enough to the ice blue that I kept the jacket. I have several of these jackets. They are very wonderful. I wear a size medium. I am a US 8. This will look great with all my pastel ice colors! If youā€™ve seen me in the Kettlewell color club youā€™ll know that I love ice! I think I am all up on ice and acid colors. Thank you KW.

SIZE: X Small COLOUR: Pink Raspberry

This is my second Rachel, this time in Pink Raspberry. The fabric is super soft and luxurious and seems to be a tad roomier than my Chloe in the same size. However, the faux suede fabric seems suited more for cooler weather than summertime, so I will wear this in early spring, then put away until September. Pink Raspberry is vibrant and looks especially great paired with deeper winter colors such as black, indigo, and navy. I would love to see spandex added to this fabric, just 1 or 2%, to give it more flexibility.

Iā€™m a Summer, and already have a Rachel jacket in slate (superb colour!) and now chose glacier for sunny days and warmer weather. I felt lifted and casually elegant as soon as I put it on. Hopefully the light shade wonā€™t look grubby after a few wears, even if itā€™s washable. Iā€™m a size 10 on top and the S is ok for wearing over light tops with the zip mainly undone. I do so wish the website would tell us the modelsā€™ heights and what sizes they are wearing, to help choosing style and size.

This is a beautiful jacket, although I agree with many reviewers that it comes up smaller than the Chloe. I ordered an XS and S to try (my Chloe is XS) and definitely needed the S. In the end I sent it back because the Grass Green was not a wow for me. I think it's a bit more suited to Autumns than Springs as it wasn't quite as bright as I'd expected. But I thoroughly recommend the jacket! I'll definitely buy one another time if new colours come on board.

SIZE: Large COLOUR: Cranberry

Perfect fit for me, Itā€™s so hard to find this proportion elsewhere. I would not want it any longer as most jackets are too long and cut me in half or swamp my waist, and itā€™s so forgiving of the tummy. I doubt that I would wear this closed but sized up to a L , could have gotten away with medium. (UK 14). The fabric is so soft and great combination of drape and structure. Love these jackets, so comfortable for indoor wear at work or WFH and wearable for most of the year either indoors or out in better weather. Particularly useful that Rachel really doesnā€™t benefit from any pressing and can be folded up in a travel bag.. They are a considered purchase and, being washable is a plus in the consideration of value per wear. Now have two Rachels and two Chloeā€™s and have fingers crossed for more. Warm (bright autumn or spring crossover)

STYLE 4 QUALITY 4 VALUE 4

SIZE: LL COLOUR: Bright Violet

Whilst I do love the fabric in the Rachel jacket itā€™s fits is definitely more snug than the Chloe,I wonder why this is? Surely all items should be designed to Kettlewellā€™s sizing chart as regular customers know which sizes they usually purchase? As a 5ā€™ft 8ā€ broad shouldered, big busted size 16 the size LL thankfully just fits but I very much doubt that it would fit any larger ladies which is a shame as it does have a lovely,soft feel. I now have it in Lapis Blue and the Bright Violet ( but I do find this slightly muted for a Spring but I can work with it!) It would also be much better on me if it was at least 4 inches longer as the waist is far too high on me and the jacket is technically too short ( should be at leg break) for my height but I try to elongate the look with a combination of a long vest/camisole under another LL Kettlewell top so that I can make it work. Please could Kettlewell try to design slightly longer tops and jackets to suit those of us taller ladies (like Melissa?!) However, this faux suede fabric is obviously a winner for Kettlewell so letā€™s hope that it can be used in future styles?

Gorgeous colour and material. So soft. I am a size 10 but with a full bust and I pondered whether this jacket suits me. It definately isn't flattering to a full bust if I do the zip up. Left open it looks fine while still fitting nicely at the waist which I need. Although I can wear small in some Kettlewell clothes I needed the medium in this Jacket even left undone. It was a little pricey as it isn't lined, but it had enough redeeming features for me to decide to keep it. It would have been nice to have had the full range of colours of the Chloe Jacket in the Rachel but the Lapis Blue is really lovely. I'd love it in Poppy or Geranium or Watermelon from the Spring Palette.

SIZE: Small COLOUR: Grass Green

The Rachel jacket is gorgeous. I was worried that the grass green might be too clear a colour (more Spring than Autumn), but it works beautifully on me as a Deep Autumn. I tried it on with the pine silky scoop top and the combination is stunning. I am 10-12 on the high street (broad shoulders, narrow waist and hips) and tend to buy medium in Kettlewell tops. I sized down to a small in this (similarly as in the Chloe) because I always wear biker jackets open and the shape is more form-fitting this way. However the Rachel is cut smaller - I laid it over the Chloe and the same size small is narrower in the Rachel, the sleeves are shorter, but the main issue is that the armholes are cut much higher, so the sleeves feel very tight and when I move my arm, it pulls in the back. A pity, because it looks so beautifully fitted, but I feel like I can't move, so will have to exchange for a medium. I hope Kettlewell will bring this out in lots of colours and keep it on repeat every season because it is a classic! I'd love a Laguna or Deep Teal/Marine Navy in this!

The Blackberry is a rich purple that will coordinate with many different colors in my wardrobe. I would love to see two small tweaks: to add some spandex to the fabric so it will feel less snug and a lining which would make it a little warmer to wear during the winter months.

I remain a massive fan of the Chloe as the length and fit are perfect for this 5:4ā€™ short-waisted, busty, inverted triangle. However, the fabric of the Rachel is so luxurious, I would describe her as Chloeā€™s upmarket twin! Both jackets are incredibly versatile and for me, replace the need for a cardigan.

Because I want to wear it often, now, when the weather is colder I have decided to keep the M to have the option of a slightly heavier layer (e.g. a lightweight merino jumper) underneath. If it returns in the spring in more soft neutral colours with maybe a tweak (a little longer, just slightly bigger) I would definitely buy another for warmer times.

SIZE: Small COLOUR: Blackberry

I have reviewed these jackets before, already owning three in my Summer/Winter colours, but couldnā€™t resist the blackberry, so thatā€™s four then! Contrary to another review I have just read, I havenā€™t found the fit noticeably different from my other purchases. These jackets are warm enough to replace a woolly cardigan but have just that bit more style with their asymmetric zip. The faux suede fabric drapes well and is slightly stretchy, so the fit is neat and forms to my body. I am a 68 year old 5ā€™2ā€ size 10 ā€œinverted triangleā€, and buy a size S. I need to keep my clothes neat to avoid turning into a shapeless ball, and find the fit perfect, even when left open. The length takes it to mid-hip level on me, so the shaping defines my waist both when unzipped or zipped up. The sleeves fit closely but comfortably over a long sleeved Kettlewell top, although you would find them a bit restricting if you wanted to wear a bulky pullover underneath. It doesnā€™t swamp me, and always looks chic. If you prefer a more boxy fit I would suggest you move up a size. It can be dressed up or down, with jeans, smart trousers, skirts or over dresses, for casual or smart events. It is quite pricy, but itā€™s versatility easily earns its place in the wardrobe. I strongly recommend you try this jacket.

I'm tall 5'9 and was worried that this would be too short for me but strangely it works. I wear lots of dresses and this jacket is so much more contemporary than a cardigan for me. The fabric is very soft and of excellent quality. yes it is fitted but I'm not planning to wear as outerwear.

I have one of the Chloe jackets in size small. Iā€™ve just compared the two and unfortunately this jacket is a tighter fit (especially on the arms) and comes up very short. I am a small or x-small in all things Kettlewell but would definitely recommend sizing up in this. Iā€™ll be sending it back sadly.

This beautiful little jacket is already a firm favourite and I know it will serve me well. The fabric is beautiful and soft, the colour is rich and sumptuous and the style suits my petite upper body frame. The sleeves are quite close fitting but itā€™s not the type of jacket youā€™d be wanting to wear bulky jumpers underneath anyway. The style is cropped so if you like longer line jackets then Iā€™d suggest you size up. I see it going well with a silky roll neck and jeans. A gorgeous jacket!
